Necropola medievală de la Piatra Neamţ - Dărmăneşti

  • Subiect: The medieval cemetery from Dărmăneşti, residential district of the town of Piatra Neamţ, to be found on the lower terrace of the left side of the Cuejdi stream, was investigated in 1957, 1958 and 1968. There were found 25 graves, among which 4 of them were double (one of them comprised a man and a woman skeleton, and the other three a woman and a child skeleton). The burials were carried out according to the Christian rite. The skeletons were laid down on the back, with the hands bended from the elbow and set on the abdomen and more seldom on the chest. The graves were oriented West-East. The inhumation was made in simple rectangular pits, without coffins. More than a half of them had not any inventory. On the contrary, in others, different adornments, (rings. glass, beads, ear rings, ringlets, rings, a diadem, pendants), coins and vessels were found. The women graves were richer. A special interest presents the two vessels discovered in the double graves 13 and 15, by the fact that in these cases is documented in a Christian cemetery a practice of prefeudal tradition. The Piatra Neamţ-Dărmăneşti cemetery is dated by several coins from Petru Muşat and one from Alexander the Good in the last quarter of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century and belonging to a Rumanian population. Dărmăneşti village is documentary attested for the first time only in 1462, in a document issued by Stephen the Great.
