Elfeledett soros temetőink? – Sorokpolány-Berekalja

Discussed here is the sorokpolány-berekalja site, the first row-grave cemetery excavated in County Vas, and the relationship between the row-grave cemeteries and the period’s settlements often established beside these burial grounds in County Vas. it was noted in the case of about one-half of the known row-grave cemeteries that the area of the former burial ground was used mainly for economic activities following its abandonment and the opening of the graveyard around the church. although we have no explanation for this practice at present, the phenomenon itself deserves scholarly attention.
