It is supposed that oval brooches may have been a sign of marriage. This would explain why they are usually not found in children's graves. Furthermore, it has been found that bronze keys usually appeared in graves with oval brooches. Keys had symbolic value in addition to their practical use. They were worn by the mistress of the house, representing her position of authority on the farm. It is therefore proposed that among the prosperous farmers it would have been married women, or women in a position where they had the same legal position as men (e.g. a widow), that were wearing the oval brooches
