Description
Summary:In Polish archaeological literature there is no systematic and broad-scale formal-typological and chronological analysis of stave vessels (buckets), which were part of grave goods in Early Medieval cemeteries in the present-day territory of Poland. Furthermore, hardly anything has been said with regard to their sepulchral function. The knowledge concerning this category of finds is still not systematised and is scattered in monograph works on individual sites, in broader compendia dealing with funeral rites and in various minor works. It is therefore recommended to offer a brief overview of research on this category of finds. Author discusses the issues of terminology, the current state of research and the most ardent research needs related to the issue mentioned in the title of this paper
