Kostuvuud is a term that appears in historical and archaeological contexts, often associated with the study of ancient settlements and burial practices. Its precise meaning can vary depending on the specific culture or region being examined, but it generally refers to a type of ritualistic or ceremonial deposit. These deposits might include offerings, grave goods, or the remains of sacrifices, intended to commemorate or appease deities, ancestors, or other supernatural entities.

The analysis of kostuvuud provides valuable insights into the beliefs, social structures, and daily lives of past peoples. Archaeologists study the composition, placement, and associated artifacts within kostuvuud sites to reconstruct religious practices, understand social hierarchies, and interpret symbolic meanings.

Its etymology and specific applications are subjects of ongoing research and scholarly debate.
