Kr. Iako različitih etničkih obilježja, glavna im je karakteristika bio obred spaljivanja pokojnika čiji su se ostaci spremali, zajedno s prilozima, u posude – žare – koje su činile velike nekropole. Priloge u grobovima činili su mnogobrojni metalni predmeti koji su mogli biti i sastavni dio bro- jnih ostava. Ostave su jedinstveni arheološki fenomen, pojam koji označava mjesto skupnoga nalaza više predmeta, skrivenih zbog opasnosti u burnim vremenima seoba i ratova. Glavni razlozi ukopavanja bili su skrivanje imovine pojedinca ili pohranjivanje u ritualne svrhe, kao zavjetni dar božanstvu, a ponekad čak i kao oprema za zagrobni život pojedinca.
