Essai d'analyse sociale des nécropoles néolithiques. Étude de cas: la nécropole de Cernica

Abstract

In this study, the author presents a new method of social analysis. He shows as an example the Neolithic necropolis from Cernica. This method demonstrates that a grave artifact should not be considered separate but within categories of objects. Applying this method on the necropolis of Cernica, it can identify four groups of wealth and rich graves (i.e. corresponding to the significant individuals in the community. The last ones exceed 3% of the total proportion, similar to that of the necropolis of Varna.
