ENThe oldest burials provide us with knowledge about burial rites, and the found grave goods (items and clothes placed in the grave for the deceased) about the concept of death and afterlife. In Lithuania, the oldest grave goods have been found in burials from the Stone Age, and we have the most information about the tradition of laying grave goods in the territory of present-day Lithuania from the lstlóth century, when grave goods are found in almost all graves, regardless of the type of grave, the sex and age of the deceased. Certain sets of grave goods report on the sex, age, occupation, and the life of the deceased. In living language and folklore, only the garments of the deceased, which may have had a protective function at the time of the funeral, as well as to further life in the afterlife, are referred to as grave goods. Objects placed in a tomb (or coffin) could have similar functions, and some of them were used in the ritual of burials. [From the publication]
