Abstract

This article explores the diversity of funerary practices north of the Danube during the Late Iron Age (2nd century BC-1st century AD). Drawing on a theoretical framework, osteological analyses and burial typologies the study highlights the significant variability in funerary behaviour, which reflects complex identity constructions related to age, biological sex, and social status. Particular attention is given to deviant or atypical burials such as subadult individuals in pit fields, communal inhumations, and deposits lacking normative grave features. The absence of a standard funerary model and the fragmentary nature of many burials suggests a high degree of flexibility and diversity. The article contributes to broader debates on the relationship between mortuary practices, social identity, and ritual variability in Iron Age Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
