In the first step, we are doing our remarks on the arm positions:

1. Arm positions from Group 1 could be registered in the most cases.

2. In Däbäca-Casf/e Area IV cemetery arm positions different from Group 1 could be registered around the church, towards the edge of the cemetery these arm positions almost completely disappear. (Pi. 29)

3. Arm position XIV, when the arms are crossed above the pelvis or the sacrum, is mainly known from the graves around the church in Dabäca-Castle Area IV cemetery. On the E and W edges of the cemetery it is completely unknown. The only exception is Grave 427, which was the grave of a person, isolated within the cemetery. The question may arise: can the fact that these graves are so close to the church be explained by their Christian confession or their status in the Christian religion?
