Models of culture in the Early Bronze age in Eastern Pomerania

Keywords: burial ritual, environmental exploitation in the Early Bronze Age, archaeological analysis of early Bronze Age societies, Eastern Pomerania

Abstract:
The text is a concluding chapter of an unpublished doctoral thesis by Andrzej Z. Bokiniec. The dissertation, titled "The Beginnings of the Bronze Age in Eastern Pomerania," was supervised by Professor Jan Machnik and defended in 1995 at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Drawing on archaeological data, the author employs two interpretative models – natural science and humanistic – to present the cultural situation in the early Bronze Age in Eastern Pomerania. Focusing on the adaptive dimension of culture, the author discusses paleobotanical data and settlement ecology. Addressing cultural issues, the text concentrates on topics related to burial rituals, sacrificial sites, and the model of social organization in early Bronze Age societies.
