Despre un posibil ritual de înmormântare în tumuli cu manta de piatră, la începutul epocii bronzului

  • Subiect: The tumular necropolises and the isolated tumuli we are discussing are located on some visible peaks, at some ridges crossings as the 8 tumuli inside the necropolis called Ghighence; or the 3 tumuli at Pă Grădini, as well as in some limestone areas. All of them are stone-covered, even if isolated or grouped together as a tumular necropolis. Graves were found inside almost all the tumuli, with preserved human bones which are difficult to be osteologically identified. Most of them were found in an abnormal anatomic position excepting four skeletons from the seven found inside T2 at La Alace, which were in a cowered position. The ceramics from those tumuli and graves belong to Coţofeni culture, excepting the two Hallstattian fragments from T1 at La Alace. There were no cremated bones, so that we may date those discoveries earlier than the end of the IIIc Coţofeni culture to Wietenberg II (as the burning was known for Coţofeni-Vucedol till that time). After Coţofeni IIIc some graves of inhumation are known at Cheile Aiudului, and the ceramics of that age belong to the mentioned above culture, but there are also some frames belonging to the early Bronze Age (Roman, 1976). We do not discuss about other parts of the country, but certainly there are graves of inhumation at Cristuru Sârbesc (the Serbian Banat), close to those ones from Coţofeni culture, with laced ceramics dated in Coţofeni IIIc, and also in Jagodin and Schneckenberg B.
