Graves belong to the main sources of Pre- and Protohistoric Archaeology as they permit inferences on beliefs and symbolic worlds. Objects from graves are usually interpreted as grave goods related to the deceased, as an indicator of their social status or of having ›biographical relevance‹. The handling of the objects, however, is only rarely addressed, even if it has left visible traces. Actually, there are manipulated objects from graves – often weapons – in nearly every pre- and protohistorical period. Frequently they have been treated mechanically, e. g. they were deliberately broken, curled-up or folded. But there are also more ›subtle‹ phenomena documented, like rendering useless by taking elements relevant to function, pars pro toto, the splitting of objects to several graves or inversion. The project aims at a comparative investigation of chosen archaeological sites in South and Southwest Germany from the Late Bronze Age/Urnfield Period to the end of the Latène Period to work out the concrete character of the manipulation of grave goods, continuities and breaks as well as their causes. The simultaneous occurrence as well as a ›shift‹ of (at least formally) comparable manipulations enables an analysis of different social spaces (ritual places, hoards, settlements) from a perspective on ritual theory – linked by practices. Methodically, an approach focused on Cultural Studies and Cultural Anthropology is chosen that understands selecting, destruction, fragmentation or wrapping explicitly as social practices to create meaning in the context of symbolic and/or ritual communication that must be seen as an integral part of the funerary ritual.

坟墓属于前和原始历史考古学的主要来源，因为它们可以推断出信仰和象征世界。重力的物体通常被解释为与死者有关的严重物品，作为其社会地位或具有›传记相关性的指标。但是，即使对象留下了可见的痕迹，也很少解决对象的处理。实际上，在几乎每个原始历史时期都有重力（通常是武器）的操纵物体。通常，它们被机械治疗，例如他们故意折断，curl缩或折叠。但是，还有更多的微妙现象记录在记录的情况下，例如通过采用与功能相关的元素，pars pro toto，将对象分裂为几个重力或反转。该项目的目的是对从青铜时代晚期/urnfield时期到Latène时期结束到Latène时期结束的南部和西南部选定的考古遗址进行比较研究，以确定操纵坟墓，延续性，连续性和破坏及其原因的具体特征。简单的事件以及（至少是形式上）可比操作的›转移，可以从仪式理论的角度分析不同的社会空间（仪式，ho积，ho积，定居点） - 通过实践链接。有条理地，选择了一种专注于文化研究和文化人类学的方法，该方法是在符号和/或仪式交流的背景下明确地理解，破坏，破坏，分散或包裹的方法，以创造意义，这必须被视为葬礼仪式的不可或缺的一部分。
