ARTICLES RELATED TO Funnelbeaker culture | | | |  Funnelbeaker culture: Encyclopedia II - Funnelbeaker culture - Religion and gravesThe houses were centered around a monumental grave, a symbol of social cohesion.

| | | | Funnelbeaker culture: Encyclopedia II - Corded Ware culture - Graves Inhumation was characteristically done one metre deep, without any marks, in a flexed position; males lay on their right side, females on the left, with the faces of both oriented to the south.

Grave goods for men typically included a stone battle-axe.
The approximately contemporary Beaker culture had similar burial traditions, and together they covered most of Western and Central Europe. While ...
