Abstract

Since the early twentieth Century, urnfields play an important part in Europe's (pre)history books. Traditionally, these cremation grave cemeteries are regarded as a typical Central European phenomenon which gradually found its way to NW-Europe. However, recent studies into radiocarbon dates associated with Bronze Age cremation graves in NW-Europe (in this chapter specifically in The Netherlands) start to paint a different picture as it rather seems that cremation as a way of dealing with a dead body developed much more autonomously in NW-Europe and that the role of ancestors in the (Late) Bronze Age landscape was a driving force behind this development.
