Late Bronze Age funerary practices in the Lower Mureș Basin
Late Bronze Age funerary practices in the Lower Mureș Basin

Summary/Abstract: The final stage of the Bronze Age in the Lower Mureș Basin is contemporaneous with the disappearance of Bronze Age tells (1600/1500 BC) and the emergence of large fortifications (1500/1400 BC), and continues during its later phases until Ha B1 period with the disappearance of the black/red ceramics known as Gava. The main focus of our study is to analyze the transition from inhumation burials to incineration. As a starting point, we will bring into discussion the Pecica “Site 14” cemetery. In connection with this, we took into account all the funerary discoveries in the Lower Mureș Basin and the neighboring regions, starting with the bi-ritual necropolis at Tápé and ending with the funerary discoveries from Felnac and Sântana.
