Abstract
Princely tombs of the Early Iron Age in the Central Balkan region have been discussed here as the symbolic strongholds of livestock breeders’ communities and their territories. Hypothetical borders of these territories have been delineated using the Tluessen polygon model. As territorial marks and symbols of social power. The princely tombs probably functioned on three levels: ritual, territorial and tribal.Metrics
