Learning outcomes

The reflection of religious and ideologic notions can be seen in different forms of burial practices. These can be considered as a non/standardised reflection of ritualised reality that has a close link to the social hierarchy and categorised rituals and ceremonies. The subject explains the burials, particularly the development of the burial rite from Paleolithic to early Middle Ages, presenting basic attributes and forms of burial habits of each culture in different regions and cultural environment. The close link between ideology and burial practices is explained, as well as anomalous or exceptional and interesting cases and phenomena, with an attempt to interprete them. The burial rite is perceived as a reflection of social, economic and ideologic, particularly religious reality, or rather ritualised reality and ideology. These archaeological sources reflect best the way of perceiving the world in many aspects (religion, afterlife belief, hierarchisation and differentiation of a society etc.).
