Der Schatten aus der Zeit. ‚Räumliche Kontinuitäten‘ im neolithischen und bronzezeitlichen Deponierungsgeschehen

Abstract

This article approaches the key concepts of the conference Space, gifts, and memory on the basis of specific social practices in handling objects, namely their deposition. In particular, gifts can impart a promising access to the discussion of processes of remembering. Nevertheless, because of the fact that they usually provide sparse information, depositions always evocate questions about the representativity of the sources and the interpretations deriving from them. The following observations address possible continuities in Neolithic and Bronze Age depositions and are an attempt to explore to what extent processes of remembering reveal themselves through spatial continuities.
