contents <p>In some Funen cemeteries from the Roman Iron Age weapons, personal equipment and tools have been <br>buried without connection to specific graves. In many cases the objects have been burnt and/or destroyed <br>before the deposition. At several cemeteries deposits of clay pots and in one case parts of a Roman bronze <br>cauldron have also been uncovered. These different types of deposits from the cemeteries are often publis<br>hed as cenotaphs or badly preserved graves. However, the handling of the objects and the circumstances <br>of the deposits have close parallels in sacrifices from settlements and wetlands. Therefore, it is tempting <br>to interprete at least some of the deposits from cemeteries as sacrifices, while others can be understood <br>as the burial of objects which were considered "contaminated" or taboo. Seen in connection with other <br>structures in the Roman period cemeteries (funeral pyres, mortuary houses, roads, cooking pits, etc.) the <br>deposits reflect that burial sites were not used for funerals exclusively. They were central sites or scenes <br>where a diversity of activities related to burial rituals and ancestor cult were exercised</p>
