Beetle body parts as a funerary element in a cremation grave from the Hallstatt cemetery in Domasław, south-west Poland
The discovery of an ornament made from Phyllobius viridicollis beetles in a cremation grave at the Domasław cemetery highlights the diverse use of organic materials in funerary rites. Together with dandelion pollen, the find offers interpretative potential for reconstructing the seasonal timing of the burial.
