Abstract:
Famous especially through its grave finds the Aunjetitz (Únetice) culture today looks back on over 100 years of research history. More recently – and particularly by the research works of M. Bartelheim, E. Lauermann and B. Zich – the Aunjetitz culture has come back into the wider research interest. While the research work on the Aunjetitz culture has been done relatively well in this way for Bohemia, the eastern parts of Germany and Lower Austria in the past 20 years, the Moravian region lacks this quantity and quality of research and discussion. Similar publications are missing here, are outdated or only focus on aspects such as social differentiation. Based on a sample of published cemeteries of the Aunjetitz culture of Moravia and their inventory, this work, therefore, focuses on the differences and similarities to the inventory of the surrounding regions. Also spatial and temporal patterns are investigated.
