Study about the sacral traditions in the burial customs of the Middle Kura basin inhabitants in the Bronze Age

The study of the spiritual culture of ancient societies is perhaps the most complex and controversial field of archaeology. Sacral objects found in residential places, chapels, other religious buildings, and grave monuments are attributes born from the religious outlook of the inhabitants. Such artifacts are invaluable facts for the study of primitive religious beliefs and rituals. As it is known, the ideas of the ancient people about the surrounding world, their religious outlook, various religious rules, restrictions and regulations that outwardly regulate their lives were concentrated under religious views as a whole. During the Bronze Age, the inhabitants who mastered the vast territories of the South Caucasus, while penetrating the new territories, adapted to the ecological and geographical conditions not only physically, but also from a spiritual point of view. They combined the customs and beliefs of the new territories with their own spiritual world. The reflection of the spiritual world is clearly manifested in the artifacts. It was a set of religious laws, rules and customs that accompanied the life of ancient people, starting from images and symbols with religious-ritual motifs on pottery vessels of various contents and shapes, metal samples, etc., to sacral objects found in grave monuments and places of worship.
