GRAB UND RAUM - VERENA TIEDTKE TASCHENBUCH

This study investigates the cemetery of the Lusatian Culture at Müllrose  site 2  near
Frankfurt an der Oder including its surroundings within a radius of 20 km in the North
German-Polish upper moraine belt. It formed an anchor point in the ritual landscape of Eastern
Brandenburg with its unfortified settlements during some 400 years from the 12th to 9th century
B.C. [Bz D-Ha C1] and was only re-occupied in the 3rd century B.C.. Apart from ritual zones 
seven burial groups can be localised. There is evidence for parallel economic circles for the
living and the dead in resources such as space  wood  clay  and stones. The number of
individuals of each demographic subgroup attests that all the deceased of the burying
communities were actually deposited within the cemetery. The exclusive burial mode was
cremation with pine wood at temperatures of 550-750 C. After this  specimens of all important
body parts and cremated personal goods were selected and piled up in an anatomically correct
order from feet to head in urns or urn-less grave pits. The division of cremated remains within
a grave is also documented. The abandonment of the cemetery coincided with other disruptions of
the Early Iron Age.
