?I wish my grave to be dug in the doorway of my fire hall.? 'Unusual' burial practices in Old Germanic traditions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The present paper deals with 'unusual' phenomena connected with burials of human and animal remains during the Roman Imperial Period in Central Europe, with parallels throughout the whole Nordic Iron Age attributable to Germanic tribes, and the review oftheir previous interpretations. Human and animal graves found inside residential objects on Germanic settlements or the presence of animals and/or 'unusual' structures on burial grounds are often being connected with 'religious' or 'ritual' (the two often being confused together without further explanation or definition) activities. Their interpretations by archaeologists however often draw from outdated and oversimplifying models of Old Germanic religion, seeing it as a single integrated system directly reflected in and extractable from contemporary foreign (Greek and Roman) or later (Old Norse) sources.
