Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The chapter summarizes more than half a century of scientific analysis at the Hallstatt Period cave site Habrůbka - "Býčí skála" in the Moravian Karst in Moravia, Czech Republic. The authors consider it a central site with an exceptional representation of elites in the years 575 - 450 BC.

The text descuse the development of scientific analyses that were performed and what role they played for a varied interpretation of the site. These analyses are crucial and their incorrect assessment or lack of interest in them distorts the overall picture.

The work is also a methodological text written before the research, which has been going on since 2020. It includes a review of the situation at the site and analysis of a number of new samples to determine the processes that occurred during the laying of elite graves.
