Full textAbstract:
The article attempts to correlate the features of the funeral rite of a number of archaeological cultures that are now associated with ancient IndoEuropeans (Mariupol, Yamna, Catacomb, Middle Stog, Usatovo), and poetic clichés and mythological microtexts reconstructed for Common IndoEuropean period (Indo-European poetics). As a result of such a comparison, the semantics of certain elements of the funeral rite can be interpreted more fully, and the people of archaeological cultures are more reliably identified as locutors of Indo-European dialects. First, the list of poetic formulas from ancient Indo-European traditions, already known in the scientific literature, was compiled. Then this list was systematically classified into thematic groups: formulas related to the solar cult, the cult of glory, the cult of the horse etc. Paradigmatic connections (positive / negative semantics) were found within each of the groups of formulas. Finally, a correlation was made between individual formulas and the main mythological motifs of Indo-Europeans (like twin myth, snake-slaying, first human being). Thus, semantic combinations of motives, which are quite easy to compare, were derived. These motives and their sequences were analyzed in terms of their embodiment in the artifacts, i.e., in the ritual sign system of the funeral rite. It was found that the combination of human bodies, animals and objects of funeral rite of a number of archaeological cultures has a direct correlate in the identified Indo-European poetic formulas: paired burials may reflect the motif of twins, the presence of stone axes may correlate with the motif of snake fighting, non-obvious combinations of dog / horse / bull remnants in burials reflect the closeness of images of these animals in the poetic traditions of Indo-Europeans, connected to the cult of twins (two dogs / horses / bulls in Latvian and Ossetian folklore).

Purpose. The main elements of the structure of the funeral rite of the late 19th – early 20th centuries are analyzed based on the materials of the necropolis Yevgashino IV. That necropolis date to 1870–1920 by archaeology materials. The purpose of the study is to identify the main elements of the structure of the Russian funeral rite in the Omsk Irtysh region.Results. The place and features of the burials, the funerary clothing were analyzed in the course of the study. A systematic analysis of the collection of funerary pottery was also carried out. The collection of funerary pottery includes 79 archaeologically intact vessels. Various types of funeral pottery were determined by the method of V. F. Gening. There is also an analysis of the cult copper plastics, such as pectoral crosses, copper diptych. The collection of crosses obtained on the site reflects the process of transition from the “Old Believers” forms of cult casting to stamped products of generally low quality which is an important chronological marker.Conclusion. The results of the research will allow make a chronological scale of Russian funeral rite in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries from the time of the arrival of Russians in the region to the present.

Introduction. The paper presents results of the funeral rite and material culture study of the Sauromat time Tau cemetery located on the territory of Western Kazakhstan, and also provides anthropological analysis of the skull discovered there. Methods and materials. An interdisciplinary approach was applied in the course of the study with inclusion of typological, analog and cross-dating methods regarding the funeral rite and material culture examination, methods for studying craniometrical and cranioscopic signs, as well as methods of skull pathology evaluation. The source of the study material as well as the male skull discovery site is burial 1 of kurgan 1 of Tau cemetery. Discussion and results. The funeral rite and clothing inventory data confirms that the burial belongs to Sauromat archaeological culture and, within the chronological framework, could be dated back late 6th – early 5th centuries BC. Furthermore, the funeral rite and weaponry features, including a quiver set with a short sword, attribute this burial to this epoch. Historical and archaeological source analysis suggests that there must have been a cult of the Hand in the Sauromat-Sarmatian society; consequently, the separate interment of the right hand in the examined burial reveals its military trophy origin. The male skull possesses Caucasian features with a weakened horizontal facial profile. The morphological features of the skull from the Tau cemetery have analogies in the synchronous population of Western Kazakhstan, Southern Urals and Lower Volga regions. The skull pathology analysis showed the presence of periodontitis, intravital trauma to the frontal bone, as well as some acute sinusitis signs.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers Christian burials with vessels of the late 14th – mid-17th centuries. During this period, burial vessels became an important part of the funeral rite of Muscovy. The volume of material sufficient for statistical processing made it possible to reveal the most characteristic features of the funeral ritual with a vessel in the grave. The following signs were selected for study: areas where such burials occur, persons who were buried this way the locations in which a vessel was placed in the grave. Archaeological evidence has confirmed the emergence of this burial tradition primarily in Moscow and the surrounding area. This burial rite was more common in monasteries and elite necropolises. Vessel was not a required object. They are more often found in male burials than in female ones. The results of the study indicate that in performing the funeral ritual people tried to adhere to a certain single tradition while clear canonical rules were lacking. Thus, it was the priest conducting the ceremony who decided whom with and where to place a vessel in the grave.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The Mongol conquest of the Eastern European steppes implies the presence of the conquerors themselves in the occupied territories which should be reflected in the archaeological monuments. The Ishkulovsky II burial mound is one of these monuments consisting of stone kurgans with a diameter of 3–5 m and a height of 0.15–0.2 m left by the nomads of the Golden Horde time from the territory of the Ulus of Jochi. The purpose of the article is to publish the materials of the necropolis and the authors’ attempt to identify the burials of the Mongols themselves for whom one of the main signs of funeral rites, among others, was the northern body orientation of the buried individuals. In the context of the article, the fact of Islamization of the Mongols under the influence of the Kipchaks is of considerable importance, which was reflected in the material of Kurgan 5, as well as in the burial mounds 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 where funeral things were not found. These burials can be considered Muslim with high certainty, if body orientation of the buried individuals is a western or north-western. Methods. The article uses the method of analogies and cross-dating to study the funeral rite and the material culture. The source of the study is 13 burials studied during the excavations of the 12 stone burial mounds of the Ishkulovsky II burial mound. Discussion and results. According to the funeral rite and clothing inventory, the burial mound was left by a mixed population of nomads, some of whom are associated with the Kipchaks, the other finds analogies among the burials of the Mongols. Thus, the dating of the necropolis fits into a narrow chronological period from the end of the 13th to the 14th century. A kind of confessional dualism can be observed in the rite in which both paganism and Islam were equally “legitimate” even within separate tribal divisions.

Full textAbstract:
The scope of this scientific endeavour is the analysis of the Roman funeral monument, recently recovered by the judicial bodies from a certain individual from Alba Iulia. Upon the presentation of the method of recovery of the monument, the authors refer to an unfortunate implications’ phenomenon for the cultural heritage, which is occurring in Alba Iulia, where under lies the largest urban concentration within the former Roman province, namely Dacia. We are referring to the urban centre Apulum where, each year, numerous vestiges come to light, because of archaeological exploitations. Unfortunately, in numerous courtyards of the inhabitants, there still are Roman monuments which should belong into a museum. It would not be unproductive for the competent institutions to identify, inventory and take the required steps to bring and enter them into the museum related circuit. The idea is to prevent the trend of owning Roman monuments from Alba Iulia, which was also observed amid highly educated families. The topic is a funeral limestone document, kept in a fragmented state, in the shape of a truncated pyramid, which has a relief sculpture in the image of the hero Hercules. From the iconographic standpoint is part of the Farnese type, depicting the hero upon the completion of one of his twelve deeds, the killing of the lion from Nemeea. Within his cult also arose the funeral element, depicted by numerous sculptural monuments. According to the mythology, upon taming Cerberus, the famous dog of Hades, the lord of the Inferno, the hero becomes a role model for every mortal. By such” deed” Hercules defeated Death, and the deed turned out to be an example which perpetuated into the conscience of the people. Thereafter, after this special action he was entered among the deities. The iconographic analysis found that the stonemason failed to accurately represent part of the anatomical features of the character (lack of gender, bent legs, poor representation of the hair and beard), the monument remaining unfinished (the sculptural relief is not finished on the left side). Moreover, there are interventions after the Roman era, probably from the Middle Ages or the modern age, when a channelling was engraved around the head that would mark a halo of the Christian Saints, and within the pubic area a clumsy incision which could render a vulva. The images of Hercules on the Roman funerary monuments are numerous throughout the entire Empire, as well as into the North Danube Province. But on this type of sepulchral monument – pyramidal crowning or in the shape of a truncated pyramid – this representation of the hero is unique within the Province of Dacia. In general, such crowning is found in Dacia Superior and Porolissensis, originating into the North-East of Italy, better said, Aquileea city, wherefrom it spread in Pannonia, Noricum, Dalmatia, Moesia Superior and Germania Superior.

Full textAbstract:
Funeral and ritual practices in cave sites during the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age have been recognised in multiple sites south of the Carpathians. This paper presents the first evidence for the funeral and ritual use of cave sites with such chronology north of the Carpathians. Unburned human remains dated to Ha B and Ha C/D have been identified in two cave sites (Zbójecka Cave and Bramka Rockshelter) located 500 m apart, in the Polish Jura. Additionally, a pottery deposit dated to Ha B2-C has been found in a third cave (Ciasna Cave) situated near the aforementioned sites. The paper analyses these finds in the context of the local Lusatian culture settlement and the already recognised traces of Lusatian cave site use in the studied karstic region. The results give ground to search for more evidence of ritual cave use in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.

Full textAbstract:
Cette nouvelle étude des monuments funéraires de Gaule romaine a pour but de mettre en évidence les différents procédés employés par les populations antiques pour perpétuer la mémoire de leurs morts. Que ce soit à travers l’image sculptée ou par le texte, le rappel du nom, de l’identité du défunt et des éléments propres à son quotidien étaient autant de moyens adoptés afin de garder vivace son souvenir dans le monde des vivants. L’espace géographique choisi est circonscrit à trois cités antiques, celles des Éduens, des Lingons et des Séquanes. Proches géographiquement et culturellement, ces territoires présentent en effet durant l’Antiquité des traditions funéraires similaires. Quant au cadre chronologique, il est restreint au Haut-Empire, soit du Ier au IIIe siècle ap. J.-C. À travers une analyse épigraphique et iconographique des monuments en pierre est posée la question des choix sépulcraux faits par les commanditaires. En effet, les modes de représentation divergent selon différents critères et modifient donc considérablement l'aspect et la forme des tombeaux. Ces derniers dénotent-ils des pratiques spécifiques à une cité ou à un groupe social ? De la même manière, les formulaires épigraphiques se trouvent adaptés aux informations que le commanditaire souhaite transmettre.Par des comparaisons typologiques, stylistiques et textuelles avec des monuments issus des territoires de Gaule et d’Italie, ce travail cherche à analyser les pratiques commémoratives spécifiques à des populations indigènes romanisées du Nord-est de la Gaule.À travers l’étude d’un corpus provincial, cette thèse vient ainsi compléter les différentes recherches portant sur l’art sépulcral romainThis new study of funerary monuments in Roman Gaul aims at putting emphasis on the various tools used by the ancient populations to perpetuate the memories of their dead. Thanks to carved images or texts, the mention of the name, of the identity of the deceased and of specific aspects of his everyday life were some of the means used to keep his memory alive in the world of the living. The geographical area chosen corresponds to three ancient territories : thoose of the Aeduens, the Lingons and the Sequans. Geographically and culturally close, these territories show indeed the same funeral traditions in ancient times. As for the chronological frame, it is limited to the Early Roman Empire, from the 1st to the 3rd centuries. Thanks to an epigraphic and iconographic analysis of the stone monuments, the question of the funeral choices made by the person who commisioned the tom bis raised. Indeed, the ways of evocation diverge according to different criteria, thus implying significant changes in the aspect and the shape of graves. Do the latter denote practices specific to a city or a social group ? In the same way, the epigraphic applications are suitable to the information that the dead wishes to convey.The typological, stylistic and textual comparisons made with orther monuments from Gaul and Italy enable to analyse the particular commemorative practices of indigenous romanised populations from north-eastern Gaul.Through the study of a provincial corpus, this thesis completes the various researches dealing with Roman funeral art

Full textAbstract:
Argos est l’un des sites majeurs de la Grèce dont l’occupation n’a cessé depuis le Néolithique jusqu’à nos jours. Cette occupation continue se traduit par un patrimoine anthropologique riche, en partie exhumé par les fouilles de l’École Française d’Athènes. Depuis les premières fouilles de Wilhelm Vollgraff en 1902, Argos a livré plusieurs centaines de tombes dispersées dans la ville moderne. Nous adoptons ici une approche bio-archéologique des sépultures, de l’Helladique moyen à l’époque ottomane, ayant livré des restes anthropologiques, en vue d’apporter un éclairage nouveau sur ce qui pouvaient être les conditions de vie à Argos. Un travail d’identification est tout d’abord réalisé afin de rendre exploitable cette collection, en grande partie issue de fouilles anciennes. Pour les 341 individus dénombrés, on a procédé à une estimation du sexe et de l’âge à travers l’étude anthropologique. Une étude croisée est ensuite réalisée faisant appel à des disciplines variées telles que : l’anthropologie dentaire, l’étude des isotopes stables ou encore la tribologie. Cela nous fournit une carte d’identité unique des individus de cette collection. Notre synthèse illustre l’intérêt de ce type d’approche multidisciplinaire en revisitant notre perception de l’Helladique moyen (2000-1600 BC), La confrontation des données bio-archéologiques et des pratiques funéraires permet de confirmer, ou parfois de nuancer, nos connaissances sur la Grèce mésohelladique parfois qualifiée de “tiers monde” de l’Égée. On y entrevoit un monde certes difficile, mais dans lequel la position d’Argos semble finalement relativement confortable en comparaison des sites voisinsArgos is one of the major sites of Greece whose occupation has continued since the Neolithic to the present. This continued occupation results in a rich anthropological heritage, partly revealed by the excavations of the French School of Athens. Since the first excavations conducted by Wilhelm Vollgraff in 1902, Argos has revealed hundreds of graves scattered in the modern city. We adopt here a bio-archaeological approach of the burials from the Middle Helladic to the Ottoman period, which delivered anthropological remains, with the intention to shed new light on what could have been the living conditions in Argos. An identification work is first performed to make usable this collection, which largely results from earlier excavations. For the 341 individuals listed, sex, age and stature could be determined through anthropological study. A crossover study was then carried out using a variety of disciplines such as dental anthropology, the study of stable isotopes or tribology. This provides us with a unique description of the individuals of this collection. Our synthesis illustrates the value of this type of multidisciplinary approach by revisiting our perception of the Middle Helladic period (2000-1600 BC). Comparison of bio-archaeological and burial practices data confirms or sometimes nuances, our knowledge of mesohelladic Greece sometimes called the “third world” of the Aegean. It envisions a world that is certainly difficult, but in which Argos finally seems to be in a relatively comfortable position compared to neighboring sites

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose de réévaluer nos connaissances sur le mobilier de parure daté du Premier âge du Fer (800-400 a.C.) dans une zone comprise entre le sud-ouest de la France et le nord-ouest de l'Espagne. La large emprise géographique de ce travail, à cheval sur deux pays aux traditions de recherche distinctes, est déterminée par des résultats antérieurs qui avaient pu mettre en exergue plusieurs rapprochements typologiques entre ces deux régions sans en dessiner précisément les contours. L'objectif est donc de pallier ce manque et de porter une analyse à la fois chronologique, spatiale, culturelle et sociale du mobilier d'apparat. Pour ce faire, cette thèse s'appuie sur un corpus de parures issues de fouilles anciennes et récentes rassemblées dans une base de données relationnelles. La première étape d'analyse est réservée à la mise en place de typologies. Les relations taphonomiques des objets et les comparaisons avec les vestiges similaires venant de régions extérieures à notre cadre d'étude permettent d'actualiser les chronologies connues jusqu'alors pour les parures. Lors d'une seconde étape, la synthèse typo-chronologique du corpus découvert en contexte funéraire mène à la reconnaissance d'un phasage chronologique général. Ce phasage, qui partitionne en trois horizons l'intervalle retenu, est marqué d'une part par sa proximité avec celui reconnu dans le sud-est de la France, et d'autre part par un léger décalage entre les phénomènes observés sur les sites établis au nord et au sud des Pyrénées. Fondée sur cette trame chronologique, l'analyse spatiale du corpus permet de rendre compte de l'emprise territoriale de faciès mobiliers locaux et de leurs évolutions dans le temps. L'identification d'un faciès "pyrénéen" et son expansion à la fin du Premier âge du Fer est l'un des apports majeurs de cette étude. Enfin, lors d'une troisième et dernière étape, cette thèse propose une analyse sur les porteurs de parures. L'utilisation d'analyses factorielles de correspondances (AFC) autorisent la reconnaissance de divers costumes funéraires pour lesquels les parures jouent un rôle prépondérant dans la représentation d'un système social organisé et complexeThis thesis proposes to re-evaluate our knowledge on ornamental furniture dated to the Early Iron Age (800-400 BC) in an area between southwest France and northwest Spain. The wide geographical scope of this work, taking place between two countries with distinct research traditions, is determined by previous results that had been able to highlight several typological similarities between these two regions without precisely drawing their outlines. The objective is to fill this gap and to provide an analysis that is chronological, spatial, cultural and social of the ceremonial furniture. To do this, this thesis is based on a corpus of ornaments from ancient and recent excavations gathered in a relational database. The first stage of analysis is reserved for the implementation of typologies. The taphonomic relationships of these objects and comparisons with similar remains from regions outside our study allow us to update the chronologies known until then. During a second stage, the typo-chronological synthesis of the corpus discovered in the funeral context leads to the recognition of a general chronological phasing. This phasing, which divides the selected interval into three horizons, is marked on the one hand by its proximity to what is knows in south-eastern France, and on the other hand by a slight discrepancy between the phenomena observed on the sites established to the north and south of the Pyrenees. Based on this chronological framework, the spatial analysis of the corpus makes it possible to account for the territorial hold of local movable facies and their evolution over time. The identification of a "Pyrenean" facies and its expansion at the end of the Early Iron Age is one of the major contribution of this study. Finally, during a third and last stage, this thesis proposes an analysis on the wearers of ornamentals. The use of correspondence factor analysis (CFA) allows the recognition of various funeral costumes for which the ornamentals plays a predominant role in the representation of an organized and complex social system

Desde 1989, entre las labores realizadas por la Misión Arqueológica Española en Siria se encontraba un programa de prospección y estudio del territorio, en el cual se enmarcaban los yacimientos donde se estaba excavando (Tell Qara Qūzāq y Tell Jamīs). Este programa abarcaba una amplia zona de terreno y también un extenso marco cronológico. Aprovechando esta investigación arqueológica en el Éufrates se pudo constatar la existencia de numerosas cuevas labradas, de índole funeraria algunas y monacales otras.A raíz de esta línea de investigación inicial, esta Tesis ve la luz desde el Instituto del Próximo Oriente Antiguo que me ofreció la posibilidad de estudiar directamente todos los restos de época romana y bizantina que se habían localizado en sus continuas excavaciones y prospecciones en Siria, concretamente en el entorno de Qara Qūzāq.Since 1989, among the works carried out by the Spanish Archaeological Mission in Syria, was an program of surveys and study of the territory in which there was digging (Tell Qara Quzaq and Tell Jamis). This program didn't only include a wide land area but also an extensive chronological horizon. This way, taking advantage of this archaeological research in the Euphrates you could verify the existence of numerous figured caves, of funeral nature some and monkish others. Soon after this line of initial research, this Thesis sees the light from the Instituto del Próximo Oriente Antiguo (IPOA) that offered me the possibility to study directly and in more intensity all the remains of Roman and Byzantine time that had been located in its continuous excavations and surveys in Syria, concretely in Qara Quzaq's environment, main centre of the archaeological mission from where the IPOA acted in this region.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines funerary iconography for evidence of Roman attitudes towards children, childhood and the family. Based on 690 portrait monuments drawn from select areas of the Western Empire, its central hypothesis is that the commemorations are best read as highly artificial constructs which reveal more about the social preoccupations of the commissioners than the lives of the children whom they represent. The first of the seven chapters defines the parameters of the accompanying catalogue and discusses the benefits of studying a diverse range of monuments (rather than isolated "show-pieces"). The methodological section which follows assesses the cultural limitations and identification problems inherent to funerary material and considers how the terms "child" and "portrait" are best defined in this medium. The four subsequent chapters analyse the following key areas: the ages, genders and attributes of children; the presentation and composition of the family; the iconography of surrogate and extended relationships; and the archaeological context of funerary display. In each case any emotional interpretations which surround the material are discussed and then countered with alternative, and better supported, social readings. It is argued that previous research has been based on samples which are too limited in terms of size, genre and geographical scope and influenced too heavily by a desire to prove parental benevolence and the existence of "love" and "affection" within the Roman household. By exposing demographic biases and iconographic problems, it is shown that commissioners were actually using the image of the child for overtly social purposes, with some of the results being subject to substantial, and hitherto unacknowledged, regional variation. The conclusion then reassesses a well-known example to show that while Roman parents did attach importance to their children, funerary evidence can only prove it to be of a social, rather than an emotional, nature.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif principal de ce travail est de réaliser une analyse chrono-culturelle du mobilier funéraire issu d’une trentaine de sites, pour la période comprise entre le IXème et le IIIème siècle, afin d’émettre des hypothèses sur les formes d’interaction culturelle entre l’espace luxembourgeois et les régions avoisinantes (Lorraine, Rhénanie-Palatinat, Sarre, Province de Luxembourg), ainsi que sur leur évolution au cours du temps. L’exploitation au moyen d’outils de sériation d’un corpus de près de 400 objets (vases en céramique, parure annulaire, armement, accessoires vestimentaires, de toilette, vaisselle métallique) permet de proposer un phasage chrono-culturel valide pour l’ensemble de l’aire étudiée. Alors qu’aux XIème - Xème siècle av. n. è., l’appartenance de l’espace étudié à l’entité RSFO semble indéniable, au regard des faciès céramiques, on observe, au cours du IXème et au début du VIIIème siècle av. n. è., la présence de différents marqueurs culturels illustrant une multiplication des contacts et des échanges avec des zones périphériques et plus lointaines. Aux VIIème et VIème siècles, les ensembles luxembourgois présentent à nouveau une certaine homogénéité, et révèlent surtout une similitude éloquente avec les assemblages de mobilier des sépultures du Hunsrück-Eifel, sans pour autant adopter la totalité des attributs de ce courant culturel. La période fin VIème - IVème siècle est marquée par l’influence de deux courants dominants : le Hunsrück-Eifel “récent” et l'Aisne-Marne. La présence de tombes privilégiées témoigne alors de connexions avec d’autres espaces de l’Europe occidentale caractérisés par un processus de hiérarchisation sociale. À la fin de la séquence prise en compte, la quasi-absence de mobilier funéraire caractéristique du IIIème siècle, résulte probablement d’un biais documentaire lié aux aléas de la rechercheThe main objective of this work is to carry out a chrono-cultural analysis of funerary objects from around thirty sites, covering the period between the 9th and 3rd centuries BC, in order to propose hypotheses on the forms of cultural interaction between Luxembourg and the neighbouring regions (Lorraine, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Province of Luxembourg), as well as their evolution over time. A corpus of nearly 400 objects (ceramic vases, ring ornaments, weaponry, clothing accessories, toiletries, and metal tableware) has been analysed using seriation tools, allowing us to propose a chrono-cultural phase applicable to the entire area studied. While in the 11th–10th centuries BC, the region appeared to belong to the RSFO entity in terms of ceramic facies, during the 9th and early 8th centuries BC, various cultural markers began to appear, illustrating increased contact and exchange with peripheral and more distant areas. In the 7th and 6th centuries BC, finds from Luxembourg once again show a degree of homogeneity, revealing a striking similarity with the burial assemblages of the Hunsrück-Eifel culture, though not adopting all of its attributes. From the late 6th to the 4th century BC, the region was influenced by two dominant cultural currents: the 'recent' Hunsrück-Eifel and the Aisne-Marne. The presence of elite tombs indicates connections with other areas of western Europe, which were characterised by a process of social hierarchisation. By the end of the sequence under study, the virtual absence of funerary material typical of the 3rd century BC is likely due to a documentary bias resulting from the limitations of research

Full textAbstract:
2015 - 2016The research was devoted entirely to the study of funeral pyres dating from the second half of the 4th century BC and the beginning of II century BC, attested in nine different necropolis selected as a sample area - Verghina, Derveni, Thessaloniki, Aineia, Aghios Athanasios, Pydna, Methone, Lefkadia and Pella - and located along the Thermaic Gulf of Central Macedonia. The purpose of the investigation was to reconstruct the funerary rite of secondary deposition cremation, which in Macedonia is often performed by the sovereigns and the aristocratic class in the so-called "heroic" way described in the Homeric text of the Iliad. This funerary practice, in which pyre and burial do not coincide but constitute two distinct moments of a single complex funeral process, expresses behavior codes that are reflected in a series of clearly recognizable material signs in the archaeological excavation. The reconstruction has been attempted with the exclusive help of the archaeological data retrieved scattered in the bibliography so far published in modern Greek language, consisting of charred layers, outcome of funeral pyres, found rarely in situ, most frequently in a secondary deposition, accumulated around or above the corresponding burials. Interest has thus focused on the identification of this particular burial costume’s passage, the last ring with a strong ritual value, of a long chain that ends with the erection of the artificial mound. In single context, on the basis of the funeral or sacrificial nature of the investigated charred residue, a reconstructive hypothesis is proposed, of both the funeral pyre, which always goes beyond a simple pile of wood placed on the ground, and the sacrificial act - enagismòs - offered with fire in honor of the deceased, after his burial and erection of the mound. From the comparison of individual partial hypotheses, linked to a specific funerary context, facilitated by creating an elaborated ad hoc synoptic table, attempts were made to deduce considerations of a general nature which could give the idea of the entire ritual process’s carrying out, at least in its most macroscopic passages. The rearrangement of the data obtained from the edited bibliography enabled a comprehensive comparison of the charcoal layers, by listing the different aspects and variants, by highlighting the preferences regarding the location of the piles in relation to the grave, by distinguishing the pyres found in a primary deposition from those found in a secondary deposition, by considering the choices on the funeral setup, by analyzing the various classes of materials found inside them to argue recurrences and constants, linked to the rank, gender and age of the deceased. The archaeological data - the charred stratifications pertinent to funeral pyres - if identified in its distinctive features and interpreted in the correct manner, today renders likelihood to the so-called "homeric" or "heroic" funeral rite, so far considered simply a story produced by literary fiction. Such costume, made for and by royal or equestrian high rank personalities, is an expression of an aristocratic world with a purely warlike character; with the advent to the power of Philip II and then of Alexander the Great, we are witnessing the realization of monumental funeral pyres, the rediscovery and the voluntary imitation of the "homeric" funeral costume, practiced by the royalists and members of the Macedonian court in Aegae (modern Verghina) but also in the rest of the territorial area investigated, strongly marked by the presence of the Macedonians.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes seven cemeteries datable between the 4th and the 8th century AD, located in three areas of Northern Italy (Bergamo, Modena, Verona), through a multidisciplinary approach based on archaeology, bio-archaeology and stable isotopes analysis, to be applied to skeletal materials. The aim is to investigate the characteristics of the population from the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods, focusing on the themes of nutrition and individuals’ migration, examined through the chemical analysis of stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and strontium.
The analyzed sample is composed by 254 individuals, which were kindly provided by the Archaeological Soprintendenza of Veneto, Lombardia and Emilia Romagna. In each different area both late antique and early medieval cemeteries were studied, in order to compare the data in diachrony: in the Bergamo area the necropolis selected were the ones of Covo loc. Bellinzana (4th-6th c.), Caravaggio loc. Masano (6th-7th c.) and Fara Olivana (6th-8th c.); in the Modena area, Spilamberto via Macchioni (4th-6th c.) and Cava Ponte del Rio (6th-8th c.); in the Verona area, Povegliano loc. Croce (4th-6th c.) e loc. Ortaia (6th-8th c.).
First of all, the author highlights the funerary rites using the the analysis of the graves taphonomy. The implementation of bio-archaeology enabled the reconstruction of the biological profile (gender, age at the death, height), the health condition and employment activities of each individual, in order to define the whole composition and lifestyle of the population. The analysis showed that, in spite of the hard working condition, the general health was fair.
The results of the stable isotopes analysis of carbon and nitrogen of both collagen (bones and dentin) and carbonate of dental enamel mark territorial differences in nutrition between the Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Different systems of subsistence between coeval late antique necropolis can be observed, in fact in Covo (Bg) nutrition was based on C4 plants, such as millet (Panicum miliaceum and Setaria Italica) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor); instead, diet in Spilamberto (Mo) was based on C3 plants, such as wheat, barley and oats. The use of different plants could be referred to different economies. The analyzed early medieval individuals show a nutrition based on C3, a kind of diet which could indicate either a cultural choice as well as an access to more food resources by these communities than the late antique populations.
With reference to the mobility of the population, the data acquired both from the dental enamel carbonate (carbon and oxygen) and from the dentin, indicate only 3 possible allochthonous individuals (1 from the site of Caravaggio and 2 from Povegliano, Ortaia). A pilot study about the isotopic analysis of strontium, performed in order to track allochthonous individuals in the Spilamberto (Mo) cemetery, shows that 3 women had different origins in comparison to the other people buried in the same necropolis.
In the whole, the data aquired are currently opening new research perspectives about the characteristics of both society and economies in the transitional period between Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages in Northern Italy.La presente tesi analizza 7 cimiteri con cronologia tra IV e VIII secolo d.C., situati in tre province dell’Italia settentrionale (Bergamo, Modena, Verona), attraverso una metodologia multidisciplinare applicata al materiale scheletrico, basata su archeologia, bioarcheologia e analisi degli isotopi stabili. L’obiettivo è indagare le caratteristiche del popolamento tra tardo antico e alto medioevo, con particolare attenzione ai temi dell’alimentazione e della mobilità degli individui, analizzati attraverso le analisi chimiche degli isotopi stabili di carbonio, azoto, ossigeno e stronzio. Il campione studiato è composto da 254 individui, messi a disposizione dalle Soprintendenze Archeologia del Veneto, della Lombardia e dell’Emilia Romagna. All’interno delle diverse aree, si sono studiati cimiteri tardoantichi e altomedievali, per confrontare i dati anche in diacronia: per Bergamo, Covo loc. Bellinzana (IV-VI sec.), Caravaggio loc. Masano (VI-VII sec.), Fara Olivana (VI-VIII sec.); per Modena, Spilamberto via Macchioni (IV-VI sec.) e Cava Ponte del Rio (VI-VIII sec.); per Verona, Povegliano loc. Croce (IV-VI sec.) e loc. Ortaia (VI-VIII sec.). Una prima analisi archeologica ha delineato la ritualità funeraria sulla base della tafonomia delle tombe. L’applicazione della bioarcheologia ha permesso di ricostruire il profilo biologico (diagnosi di sesso, stima dell’età alla morte, statura), lo stato di salute e le attività occupazionali per ogni soggetto, al fine di delineare la composizione e lo stile di vita complessivo della popolazione. L’analisi ha dimostrato che, nonostante le condizioni lavorative dovessero essere dure, lo stato di salute generale delle popolazioni era discreto. I risultati delle analisi sugli isotopi stabili di carbonio e azoto sul collagene (osso e dentina) e sul carbonato dello smalto dentale hanno evidenziato delle differenze territoriali nella tipologia di alimentazione tra tardoantico e altomedioevo. Nel periodo tardoantico, si osservano differenti sistemi di sussistenza tra le necropoli coeve, infatti a Covo (Bg) l’alimentazione è basata su piante C4, come miglio (Panicum miliaceum e Setaria Italica) e sorgo (Sorghum bicolor); mentre a Spilamberto (Mo) è su base di piante C3, come grano, orzo e avena. L’uso delle diverse piante potrebbe essere riferito a sistemi economici diversi. Nell’altomedioevo, gli individui analizzati mostrano un’alimentazione basata su piante C3. Questo tipo di dieta potrebbe indicare sia una scelta di tipo culturale sia l’accesso da parte di queste comunità a maggiori risorse alimentari rispetto al tardoantico. Per la mobilità, i dati derivanti dal carbonato dello smalto dentale (carbonio e ossigeno) e dal collagene della dentina, hanno evidenziato una possibile alloctonia solo per 3 individui (1 dal sito di Caravaggio - Bg e 2 da quello di Povegliano loc. Ortaia - Vr). Lo “studio pilota” relativo alle analisi isotopiche dello stronzio per rintracciare individui alloctoni nei contesti cimiteriali di Spilamberto (Mo), ha dimostrato che 3 donne della necropoli altomedievale avevano una provenienza diversa rispetto ai restanti individui. I dati nel loro complesso aprono nuove prospettive di ricerca sulle caratteristiche della società e sull’economia in questo periodo di transizione in Italia settentrionale.

Full textAbstract:
This book presents a synthesis on the necessary methods and techniques for the correct excavation, recovery and conservation of human remains, as well as notions of sampling and analysis of bones, useful for an adequate study of funeral contexts in conventional (bio)archaeological research or forensic-anthropology. As this book was written primarily for archeology students and archeologists with little training in bone handling, the language is easy-to-follow. The book is divided into two sections that roughly correspond to the two phases in which the method of analysis of human bones can be divided. In the first section, we describe the Phase I or field work that includes recovery methods, from the prospection and identification of burial sites, excavation and recording, field-sampling techniques, to the packaging and transport of bones to the laboratory. In the second part of the book, Phase II or laboratory work, we describe the treatment that should be given to bones from their arrival to laboratory of analysis to the final storage. In this section, we show the methods of cleaning and preparation of bones for further analysis, some basic notions on restoration and conservation, and relevant information about sampling techniques and their scientific principles to obtain information from the examined individual. Along the text we emphasize the informative potential of each analysis from the bioarchaeological and anthropological-forensic viewpoint.

Full textAbstract:
The authors address the ratio of archaeological cultures and ethnic groups of the Roman time in the Aestii settlement zone in the South-Eastern Baltic, with the help of archeological sources and written accounts. Comparison of archaeological data with written accounts does not allow us to come to an unambiguous conclusion that, at some period, the Aestii left the territory of East Prussia and their territory was occupied by other peoples, for example Germanic ones. The ethnonym of Aestii is applicable primarily to the bearers of the Sambian-Natangian culture, but it can also cover other cultural groups of the coastal population, primarily in the zone of the Wielbark culture. The Sambian-Natangian culture, as well as the Wielbark culture, are heterogeneous in origin. In both cases there is a Germanic cultural component, but it is not the only one. In the Sambian-Natangian culture of the Roman period, the German influence is expressed in the funerary rite and in material culture, while its appearance is associated not only with the Wielbark influence, but also with the Scandinavian impulses. To what extent the rather homogeneous cultural appearance of the bearers of the Sambian-Natangian culture reflects their ‘ethnic’ unity is a question beyond the competence of archeology alone.

Site 1 (AZP 63-45/1) in Stawki is located in Eastern Greater Poland. The functioning of the Przeworsk culture necropolis has been established from the A1 phase (?) of the Younger Pre-Roman Period to the C2 phase of the Late Roman Period. This article discusses seven of the oldest graves dated to the Younger Pre-Roman Period. A characteristic feature of these burials is the almost complete absence of metal objects, alongside the presence of clay cups as a significant element of the ceramic grave goods. The metal items included in the grave goods were chronologically non-distinctive. The attribution of burials to specific chronological phases had to rely on an analysis of the funerary pottery. As a result, an interval from the phase A1 through A2 to the transition of the A3/B1 of the Pre-Roman Period was established, during which the individual deceased were interred in the graves.

Full textAbstract:
Areoso Island is located in the inner part of the Ría de Arousa, located on the Atlantic coast of northwestern Spain. With an area of 8 ha, it has a high density of Neolithic burial mounds. The island has a varied geomorphological heritage, highlighting the granite geoforms or the presence of edapho-sedimentary deposits. These coastal deposits are quaternary formations made up of unconsolidated material, which appear discontinuously throughout the Galician coastline. The analysis of its facies allows to detect past environmental changes, the study of which is of great interest in the field of Earth Sciences and of great use for other disciplines such as Archeology. the island has a high archaeological interest, highlighting the documented presence of five Neolithic funerary tumuli. At present, these constructions are threatened by marine erosion, derived from unique morphodynamic conditions. The deposits were sampled in different sectors and environments of the island, obtaining an almost continuous chronological sequence of the edapho-sedimentary formation during the last 6000 years. This allowed reconstructing the palaeoenvironmental evolution, differentiating several stages, where the Holocene transgression played a fundamental role in its formation. 6000 years ago, with a sea level lower than today, the emerged surface was much higher than in the present, and could even be connected to the continent. These facts are relevant to archaeological interpretation, as they suggest that the burial mounds were not built in a coastal setting. The study of the ancient deposits of Areoso allows obtaining different proxies (sedimentary, geochemical, biological, archaeological), which are of great help to interpret the archaeological context, since anthropic activities are reflected in the resulting deposits. The high scientific and didactic interest of the ancient edapho-sedimentary formations makes it necessary to put them in value. This palaeoenvironmental information means that they should be considered natural heritage. In the current context of rising sea levels, many of them are seriously threatened, so it is necessary to promote their management and geoconservation, to the extent that natural processes allow. The objective of this work is to value them and proclaim their importance as environmental records.

The materials of burials for which sex and age definitions are published are analyzed. The gender and age distribution of jewelry is presented. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the lack of a clear canon in the design of the funeral costume contributed to its individualization. It is assumed that the unity of the ensemble of the costume was determined by the tastes and preferences of a particular person, and in relation to the funeral rite and the preferences of the community performing the act of burial.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of the study of kurgan No. 29 of the Chineta-II burial ground, located on the left bank of the Inya river (Krasnoshchekovsky district of the Altai Territory). A paired burial of men with an accompanying burial of horses was found in the kurgan. An analysis of the accompanying inventory was carried out, among which an iron combat dagger in a wooden sheath is of particular interest. On the basis of a comparative historical analysis of the artifacts and the funeral rite, kurgan No. 29 of the Chineta-II burial ground is tentatively dated to the second half of the 4th-3rd centuries BC. The presence of an iron dagger, which has certain analogies in the Kamenskaya and Bystryanskaya cultures, along with the peculiarities of the funeral rite (the elongated position of the deceased, etc.), may reflect the process of intercultural interaction of nomads in the mountainous, foothill and forest-steppe regions in the Scythian-Saka era

The design, burial inventory, plots and style of wall paintings in these burials are uniform, which indicates the strict regulation of the funeral rites. All the materials reflect the polyethnicity of the Chinese-Xianbi population of the Northern Qi (and in particular, the elites) and its intensive external contacts (with Turks, Rouran, Sogdians). The art presented in the tombs discussed demonstrates a fusion of ideas and images, originated from the Hun tradition and formed under the influence of Buddhism, as well as borrowed during the contacts with steppe nomads and the settled population of Central Asia.

We have tried to summarize the information about the finds of such products in the Irmen settlements and funeral and memorial sites. It was found out that they are represented by two varieties: classic oval or rectangular grain grinders and round-shaped millstones. Special attention in the conducted research is paid to the context of finding grain mills within settlements and burial mounds. It is shown that grain grinders in some cases were placed in specially designated places, obviously playing a certain role in ritual practice.

The materials about the protective plates found in the sites of the Bulan-Kobin culture of the 2nd century BC - the 1st half of the 5th century AD from the territory of the Altai Mountains are systematized. An overview of the published sources, including their quantitative and qualitative state, is given. A classification of lamellar armor plates has been developed. Their typological analysis is carried out which considers the issues of dating, origin and development of plate types. The signs of the design of armor plates characteristic of the local military tradition are highlighted. There is a change in the value of armor in the funeral practice of the population of the Bulan-Kobin culture from the symbolically protective in early complexes to the professional status in later monuments.

Full textAbstract:
The study considers the history of cultural attribution of an elite necropolis near the village of Filippovka in the south of the Orenburg region. It is shown that to a large extent the definition of the cultural identity of this site depends on the views of the researchers themselves. In general, there can be an evolutionary and a discrete approach. The main characteristics of the funeral rite and the tangible culture of the Filippovka burial ground and the Prokhorovka culture are compared. Based on this analysis, it is concluded that the Filippovka burial ground does not belong to the initial stage of the Prokhorovka (Early Sarmatian) culture. However, it belongs to the final stage of the Sauromatian culture of the Southern Urals. The materials also indicate that the elite of Filippovka and other similar necropolis was not involved in forming the Prokhorovka culture. It is based on the traditions of the average and ordinary population of the previous time and nomads who had migrated from the south.

Full textAbstract:
The article shows the specifics of the historical development of the population of the steppes of Southern Transbaikalia, Eastern and Central Mongolia in the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age. During the transition to the early Iron Age, there was no transformation of material and spiritual culture, which in the areas to the west of these areas was expressed in the formation of new cultures of the Scythian-Siberian type. The reasons for this feature are revealed. The aridization of the climate in these regions in the 2nd quarter of the 2nd millennium BC led to the transformation of the economy of the Selenga-Daurian culture of the early Bronze Age into nomadic cattle breeding and the formation of a nomadic culture of tiled graves. It continued to exist in the Scythian time. The proposed position reveals the specifics of the development of these regions of Mongolia and Transbaikalia: the nomad material culture and the funeral rite of the population of the culture of tile graves, which developed in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC, continued to retain their characteristics with minor changes in the 9th/8th -3rd centuries BC. This explains the Karasuk appearance of the bronze inventory and the absence, with rare exceptions, of the inventory of the Scythian-Siberian forms in the tiled graves.

In Northern Mongolia, 245 burials at 41 sites have been excavated in Khubsugul, Bulgan, Selenge, and Darkhan-Uul aimags since the beginning of the study of funerary sites of Mongolian time in the 1980s. Although much material has been obtained to provide sufficient information on the history of medieval Mongolia, little excavation has been carried out in this region as a whole. It is clear from the data on the number of mounds that some sites contain a lot of mounds at the same time. It is also noteworthy that, geographically, the burial complexes of the developed Middle Ages are located on slopes, at the foot and on saddles of mountains and on terraces. In addition, all burial mounds excavated in Northern Mongolia are located along the riverbank. Based on the materials of burials investigated on the territory of Northern Mongolia and dated to the Mongolian time, the article considers their location and notes some peculiarities.

Full textAbstract:
The article gives an answer to the question – who built mud graves in the Bosporus? In Russian historiography, there was an idea according to which barbarians were buried in raw graves, who built them for their dead. Archaeological realities contradict this traditional view. To solve a debatable and extremely important issue for Bosporus archeology, examples of mud-brick house-building and the use of mud-brick in burial practice in the Greek world of the Mediterranean are given, the place and time of the origin of the tradition of building mudbrick burial structures are determined, the ways of distribution and interpretation of this rite are traced. Based on this, analogies are drawn with the archaeological sites of the Bosporus, which leads researchers to the only conclusion – this is a Greek tradition that arrived in the Northern Black Sea region only with colonists.
