The supplement (Beiheft) 3 of the Mitteilungen der Berliner Gesellschaft fur Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte contains papers presented at the Berlin conference `Space not Only for the Living: Human Remains at Bronze Age Settlements in Eurasia’. The conference focussed on complexes and finds of human skeletal remains uncovered in Bronze Age settlements. They were and are referred to as settlement burials and are often regarded as the result of special treatment of the deceased. This is because it is assumed a priori that burials in cemeteries, which are spatially separated from the `world of the living’, were the rule in the Bronze Age and many other periods of prehistory. The contributions to this conference present a much more complex picture of burial rites and concepts of the afterlife in the past in various parts of Europe and beyond. In dem Beiheft 3 der Mitteilungen der Berliner Gesellschaft fur Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte finden sich Beitrage, die auf der Tagung ` Space not Only for the Living: Human Remains at Bronze Age Settlements in Eurasia` in Berlin gehalten worden sind. Im Zentrum stehen Befunde und Funde von menschlichen Skelettresten, die in Siedlungen der Bronzezeit freigelegt worden sind. Sie wurden und werden als Siedlungsbestattungen bezeichnet und oftmals als Ergebnis von Sonderbehandlungen Verstorbener angesehen. Denn es wird a priori angenommen, Beisetzungen in Friedhofen, die von der glq Welt der Lebenden grq raumlich getrennt liegen, bildeten in der Bronzezeit und vielen anderen Perioden der Vorgeschichte die Regel. Die Beitrage dieser Tagung zeigen ein deutlich komplexeres Bild von Bestattungsriten und Jenseitsvorstellungen der Vergangenheit in verschiedenen Teilen Europas und daruber hinaus auf.
