Urnfield culture

Many grave goods suggest that the deceased was being provided with sustenance for the journey, or for a feast to take place in the afterlife.

There is evidence of food remains including bread, gruel, and beverages, but mainly of animal bones left over from gifts of meat. Sometimes, implements used in food preparation are also found. These include firedogs made from clay, sometimes with traces of burning, which are thought to have been placed either side of the hearth and used as a base for logs and roasting spits.

Table services consisting of cup, beaker, several bowls (some of them uniform), individual very large bowls, and of tall, bottle-like vessels, represent the receptacles needed for serving and consuming food and beverages.  At times, a single vessel only was provided for the afterlife, which also served to contain the cremated remains of the body. It is, of course, possible that grave goods included wooden vessels that have not been preserved.
