Abstract

So called flat graves of south-eastern group of Funnel Beaker Culture (FBC SE) is a phenomenon underrepresented in archaeological studies of the Eneolithic. Researchers’ focus on “the megalithic idea” in recent decades left other forms of burial largely unexplored. In fact, it seems, that even 70% of graves of FBC SE could be described as latter group. In this study, some comment on localisation within cemeteries, constructions and orientation of graves will be provided, based on sample collected from previously published studies from most of known geographical range of FBC SE. As it will be shown, a problem of flat graves is a complex problem which should be  thought on in context of whole FBC SE funerary practices.
