As a result of the excavation a total of 21 burials were unearthed, out of which 19 graves contained skeletons. No traits of cremation have been recorded. 11 burials were oriented N-S (two of them belonged to children), and 8 skeletons were oriented S-N. The dead were buried in this cemetery according to the general custom of the Füzesabony Culture: men were placed on their right side, and women turned onto their left side, in contracted position. We did not observe any traits referring to coffins. In one case we definitely recorded a symbolic burial (grave 24), and in another case the symbolic character of the burial (grave 21) was in question, because there were not either a skeleton, or grave-goods found in the grave, only its orientation and shape referred to its being a burial. Judging from its size it could have belonged to a child. There were no bones, only pottery in the above mentioned grave 24. Vessels were placed at the northern end of the grave-pit in the same position as in the case of the grave-goods situated at the feet. On this basis we suggest that, in all probability, the orientation of the grave was 27
