The Late Bronze and Iron Age burials in the southern Carpathian Basin (1300-200 BC) contained cremated remains of the deceased. There are several examples of double graves of females aged 20-35 and children of different age: newborns, infant I (0-5) and infant II (6-12). Double graves indicate infant-mother or close emotional relationship even in death which happened at the same time. All cases had their own personal stories about the possible mother-child relationship.
