If social organisation during Palaeolithic and Mesolithic times remains widely unknown, LBK culture developed as an inegalitarian society, as asserted by various previous works (Demoule, 2018 Gronenborn, 2016 Gronenborn, Strien, van Dick, & Turchin, 2018 Jeunesse, 1996, 2018). This period is often regarded as the beginning of social inequalities. The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) is responsible for the spread of the Neolithic way of life in a large part of Western Europe. LBK dominant ideology appears to revolve around hunting and exploits in warfare, manhood, and virility, in short around violent behaviours perhaps linked to a territorial competition. Comparing them to other social categories characterised by minor marking of identity in grave goods, poorer protein intake in diet, and of diverse origin, we aim to explore the ideological frameworks and values sustaining the social LBK system. Whilst examining how grave goods are allocated amongst the LBK population, we have identified a small group of dominant men characterised by a specific burial kit (adzes, arrows, lighter set, and red deer antlers), a richer protein intake in diet, and their local origin. In addition, as they are perpetuated by the living, funerary practices are pertinent in addressing the ideological values, symbolic systems, and thoughts that support social organisation. According to social anthropologists, funerary practices are relevant for this debate as they reflect the symbolic thought in relation to death. This period is often regarded as the beginning of social inequalities whose ideological frameworks deserve to be highlighted.
