• Description:
  The author of this article attempts to depict the possibilities of reconstructing the role of war in religion and mythology of Pomerania region in the late Bronze and early Iron Age. Knowing that in prehistory every human activity had sacral significance leads to the conclusion that almost all military conflicts had it too. Lack of historical sources describing religion of that region and period forces us to look for another way to reconstruct it. However, we know multiple Indo-European sources from different times and places thatcan be extrapolated on societies being our object of interest. Archaeological sources such as weaponry, iconography known from urns but also arms, and evidence of violence held huge non-utility significance. Compared with some schemes gained from known mythological systems, they can lead us to conclusions about the role of war and war related violence in past societies’ religious systems.;
  Artykuł jest próbą nakreślenia możliwości odtworzenia znaczenia konfliktów zbrojnych dla systemów wierzeniowych ludów zamieszkujących Pomorze w czasach tzw. kultur pól popielnicowych. Podstawą do owych rozważań jest analiza mitologii ludów indoeuropejskich i próba odnalezienia uniwersalnych schematów, możliwych do zastosowania dla omawianych społeczeństw a także analiza przedmiotów związanych z wojowniczością i śmiercią oraz śladów konfliktów pod kątem ich sakralnego znaczenia.
