Their number nad variety dinstiguish communities of this culture among people of other Neolithic and Copper Age cultures in South-Eastern Europe. On settlements — in dwellings deposits — prevail remains of species of domesticated animals (cattle, sheep, goat), and on cemeteries — in animal sacrifieces — dominate bones of wild species (Artiodactyle, Perissodactyle). The practice of animal sacrifice vanished almost completely in the phase IV of the Hamangia culture. Such situation suggests co-existence of two different cultural groups, one being local, steeped in traditions of the Hamangia culture, the other coming from cultural environment (Boian-Marica) with graphite pottery, a clear system of social organisation (graves with power symbols) and richer cultural inventory (copper, gold, Spondylus shells, graphite decorated pottery)}, type={Text}, title={Funeral rites in the Hamangia culture: animal sacrifices = Praktyki pogrzebowe w kulturze Hamngia.
