Necropoleis Related to the pećine necropolis, from Central Europe to the Middle Danube Basin

Abstract

This chapter was unified and completed by A. Kapuran from material prepared by the late B. Jovanović. It seems that the time of publishing reliable analogies for distinct finds from the La Tène period in the Balkans and in the Carpathian Basin is coming to an end. The gathering of chronological facts helping to connect the unknown with the familiar is changing in such a way that the main role is primarily taken by the closed associations of finds (in this case, grave associations). Great attention is also paid to the spatial distribution of those sources or the territorial position taken by the necropoleis, settlements and different production centres, but also to their social organisation and activities and their expansionistic or migratory evolution.
