Comment: "Thanks. Pavel's second variation, urnfield site, seems to be the most exact translation regarding the context of the translation. They did indeed cremate, then bury the urns. Inhumation was uncommon for the Lusatian culture."

This term would suggest that, after cremation the urn itself was buried and not either displayed or ashes scattered.

I think it is because pohřebiště means that there are more graves
