The article addresses the chronology of Eneolithic inhumation burials in Moravia based on radiocarbon dating. A total of 17 individuals were dated using 20 radiocarbon dates, primarily individuals without grave goods or individuals from problematic contexts. The study mainly covers the period of the Early Eneolithic, to a lesser extent the Middle and Late Eneolithic. The find contexts and anthropological assessments are newly published for most of the burials in question. Based on the chronological analysis of graves dated by radiocarbon dating, it is possible to approximately define the time dispersion of individual burial methods in Moravia. Flat graves with individuals in a stretched position without grave goods can be most reliably dated to about 3800–3600 BC.

The studied area is located in a small basin between between Strže („Cézavy“) and Výhon hills. The „Cézavy“ site is an important Bronze Age enclosed settlement. Geological setting was examined by coring and electric resistivity tomography. Selected horizons were dated by C14 method. Holocene infill of basin is composed of two sedimentary units: intra-basin facies of dark coloured lacustrin-swamp clayey-silty sediments and marginal facies of clayey-silty-sandy sediments. Basin of assymetrical shape is deepest near foothill of „Cezávy“, where started infilling of basin as soon as ~3600 BP or earlier. The basin is delimited by bodies of Miocene rocks. Geochronological model shows existence of swamps-lacustrine basins in a time span since 17th century BC till 18th centuriy AD. It indicates, that main cause that filled the basin is individual landslides. Every landslide event caused new spatial configuration of basins and elevations. Last significant events were probably extensive, historically recorded landslides in 70‘s of 18th century. Recent morphology was formed as late as in 19th century.
