"Ritual cows": looking at Eneolithic cattle burials from Continental Croatia
"Ritual cows": looking at Eneolithic cattle burials from Continental Croatia Cattle burials in the Eneolithic of Central Europe are a phenomena that has been considered by scholars for already more than half a century (Gabałówna, 1958. ; Behrens, 1964. ; Zalai-Gaál, 1998. ; Pollex, 1999. ; Struhár, 2001. ; Szmyt, 2006. ; Horváth, 2010.). Up to today there are around fifty registered sites where such finds have been identified. In the majority of cases the ritual nature of cattle burials was suggested, as they were usually linked with fertility cults (Hoti, 1989 ; Pleinerová, 2002), the bull cult (Kyselý, 2002) or even the sun cult (Pollex, 1999). Although not particularly numerous cattle burials from the period of Eneolithic have been registered in Croatia as well. In order to investigate their nature and the possibility of their ritual character different methodologies have been considered. Besides the criteria for identifying ritual in the archaeological record when dealing with animal remains and the help of natural sciences in determination of the sex and age of the animal, approaches from culturo-animal studies which question the relationship between the man and the animal, ethnographical and folklore sources from the region have been used as well. Altogether, they proved to be valuable tools in rethinking the cattle burials at hand.
