| Description | Material from a settlement feature assigned to the Moravian Painted Ware culture containing fragments of female figurines is described; emphasis is placed on taphonomical observations. This article presents data relating to the spatial distribution of figurine fragments and pottery, chipped stone, osteological and archaeobotanical finds and red dye. Taphonomical analysis should help to objectify the archaeological situation and help in its explanation. The final testimony of archaeological sources reveals the relationships between individual components and permits a description of the numerous processes involved in the backfill of the feature. The mutually supportive results of the analyses of artefacts and samples illustrate the necessity to record spatial information for all categories of archaeological sources. |
