Raka, grobnica.
LJudi su počeli da prave posebne grobove za svoje mrtve sredinom starijeg kamenog doba koje je započeto pre oko 80000 godina. Rane grobove su napravili neandertalci koji su izumrli pre oko 30.000 godina. Sahranjivanje se smatra velikim napretkom praistorijskih ljudi zato što upućuje na to da su oni verovali u postojanje nekog oblika društvenog života posle smrti.
