During our investigations focusing on the horse
burials of the medieval Vörs-Papkert cemetery, we noticed
phenomena that can be evaluated by knowledge of the customs and ethnographic parallels
still practiced in eastern areas. This time, we would like to draw attention to only
a few
aspects that may provide useful information on a wider scale
during the processing of similar finds. Based on some specific
examples and phenomena, as well as our field observations
and traditions in the steppes and the Caucasus, we try to
point out the possible close connection between the animal
body parts placed in the grave and the message they carry.
