Un mormânt de incineraţie în recipient de metal descoperit în regiunea Nistrului de Mijloc (sec. II-III p.Chr.)

  • Subiect: „In 2017, the National Museum of History of Moldova in Chişinău received two metal vessels discovered by chance. According to those who found them, they were found in the ruins of a road in the Yahorlyk Nature Reserve in the Dubăsari District (Fig. 1), located at the mouth of the river of the same name, the left tributary of the Dniester. The set consists of finds from a burial of cremated human remains in a funerary urn. It is a bucket belonging to Eggers 63 type of the Hemmoor buckets. This vessel, according to the received data, was full of "earth and burnt bones" and represents a funerary urn. In the middle of its handle there are incised signs that recall the Roman numerals IX and XI, and the ends of the handle represent bird heads (Fig. 3). The second container, hemispherical in cross section and circular in plan, with wavy walls and traces of gilding along the lip, at the time of its discovery was heavily deformed; it had been put on the vessel with calcined bones. This basin is the lid of the funerary urn. Both the vessels have strong traces of soot and secondary combustion. As a result of burning on the funeral pyre, a fifth of the surface of the basin with wavy walls was lost due to melting (Fig. 4). The vessels are made of thin sheet brass, by means of a lathe, in special matrices. The nearest analogues of these vessels were found in the cremation necropolis of Hansca–Lutărie II where fragments of the walls and lips of bronze vessels with the ends of handles representing swan heads, with strong traces of combustion were found in two burials (no. 12 and no. 14). Fragments of pottery from these funerary complexes have analogies in the Carpic culture and the Lipiţa culture. In cremation burial no. 203 of the Dănceni–Ialoveni necropolis, along with other objects, a handle with the ends representing swan heads and a lug of a bronze vessel were found. These burials, with rich finds, date back to the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. They belong to members of the elite of Goth communities that penetrated this region before the formation of the Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture. The analogues of the metal vessels from Yagorlyk there are found in different regions of Central and North-Western Europe and in Western Ukraine, where they are dated between 150 and 250 AD (Fig. 2).”
