Abstrakt(y)
This study is concerned with the theory of anthropological and archaeological research of sacred places in the cultural context of hunter-gatherers societies. The cognitive approach is suggested as principal however some limits of its possible application are considered, as shown on the example of ritual behavior and of possible meaning and signifi cance of the sacred places themselves for the members of hunter-gatherers societies.
Note
This study was written with the support of the Grant fund of dean of the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University.
