Abstract

Two Late Copper Age inhumation burials were uncovered by István Molnár in 2005 during the large-scale rescue excavations ahead of road construction in County Somogy. In addition to the burial proper, both graves contained the skulls of additional individuals. In addition to the vessels, the 8–9-year-old child interred in Grave 415 had a bracelet of almost pure copper on his wrist, a black bead fashioned from jet or some similar organic material on his neck and a bead hammered from sheet copper. The burial mode and the jewellery items – currently unparalleled in the archaeological record – that were deposited in the grave clearly indicate that the child buried in the grave enjoyed a special status. The DNA analyses revealed kinship ties between the boy and the other skulls placed in his burial.
