Grave depot

Grave depot is a controversial term in prehistory and early history for pits with ( bronze ) objects, provided that they probably belong to a grave in the vicinity.

According to earlier unanimous opinion, the so-called grave depots were classified under the source category of graves. According to the more recent opinion, “grave depots ” without corpse burns and those with corpse burns and pyre residues are fire pit graves .
