Long barrows, causewayed enclosures and the long term spiritual continuity in ritual landscape around Mount Říp in Bohemia (Czech Republic)
Original language description
n two recent projects we focused on the possibilities of reconstruction of the ritual landscape and settlement areas in relation to Late Neolithic cemeteries and ancestral monuments, such as causewayed enclosures. Death as a social event was never isolated from other dimensions of the social, economic and symbolic life of farming communities. The ceremonial level of funerary events connected to ancestral worship is reflected in the landscape by a variety of monuments and their intra- and extra-territorial relations. The ritual landscape was constructed following a symbolic system of very early pedigree. The cultural landscape of prehistoric farmers was divided and structured in a continuous diachronic development and the archetypes of landscape divisions and monuments (enclosures; hilltop sites; long barrows) as landmarks were part of the cosmological legacy for generations. In this way, some monuments, seemingly isolated, fit into a much wider spatio-temporal structure of prehistoric community areas. This study presents selected case studies of the fifth and fourth millennium BC from the territory between the confluence of biggest Bohemian rivers and the mythical Mount Říp.
