Explanations ofthe meaning of megalithic architecture have ranged between economic determinism and purely ritual manifestation, but attachment to the sphere of the ancestors is a feature of nearly every interpretation. We argue that there was a relationship between the base and superstructure (in a Marxian sense), but it was not simple and straightforward. The link to past traditions that was established by the mean of durable funeraryarchitecture may have been of importance in a time when society was undergoing severe changes. With the help of archaeobotanical investigations and the method of summed calibrated C14 dates we try to explore the relationship between economic prosperity and ritual expression during the time of Funnel Beaker societies (4100—2800 cal BC) and the role that traditions played in stabilising those societies. |
