Fouille d’un quartier funéraire des Ier et IIe s. dans le suburbium de Soissons/Augusta Suessionum : aires de crémation et inhumations d’enfants
2012
In the beginning of 2008 a preventive excavation has been conducted on about 1200 m2 of a large antique cemetery situated upon the butte Saint-Jean at Soissons (Aisne). In this cemetery, almost unknown, located south-west of the Roman town Augusta Suessionum a consistent activity in the part being excavated took place between the Augustan era and mid 2nd c. The total number of inhumations uncovered is 186 (mainly of infants). Cremations were executed from the very beginning altogether with inhumations, in more or less close proximity to them according to periods, then became predominant to the detriment of burials which were just previously arranged. Different structures clearly connected t…
Le cimetière du second Âge du fer de la Tournière à Lailly (Yonne) : nouvelle analyse des fouilles anciennes
2021
International audience; Cette étude présente de manière critique les découvertes qui ont été faites à la fin du xix e siècle et au début du xx e siècle à Lailly La Tournerie (Yonne). Elle propose un classement typologique et chronologique de tous les objets mis au jour par catégorie fonctionnelle, ainsi que la reconstitution, pour la première fois, de plusieurs ensembles clos. Elle a ainsi permis de proposer une évolution de ce cimetière entre le second quart du v e siècle (La Tène A ancienne) et la première décennie du ii e siècle avant J.-C. (La Tène C1). L'analyse des pratiques funéraires a également été abordée à l'aide d'un dépouillement systématique des rares données existantes. Leur …
Nuovi dati sulla catacomba di Sabratha (Libia)
2016
La ricerca è stata condotta in collaborazione con Giuseppina Cipriano per la parte archeologica e Francesco Scirè per il rilievo topografico e diretto, nell’ambito del Progetto PRIN 2008 dal titolo: Pagani e cristiani a Sabratha e Leptis Magna tra III e VI secolo d.C. Monumenti e reperti, tradizione e immagini, coordinato da Rosa Maria Carra.La catacomba di Sabratha è uno dei pochi esempi di cimitero comunitario cristiano finora noti nell’Africa Romana. L’ingresso, lungo il tracciato del decumano minore proveniente dal complesso episcopale della Regio III, si trova a pochi metri dall’attuale linea di costa, a metà strada fra il grande santuario suburbano di Iside e l’Anfiteatro e nei pressi…
DÉCOUVERTES FUNÉRAIRES GALLO-ROMAINES DANS LE FAUBOURG SAINT-GILLES DE LANGRES (HAUTE-MARNE)
2009
Bei einer archäologischen Voruntersuchung wurden in einem Gräberbereich nördlich der antiken Stadt zwei Bestattungen in Särgen und zwei Grabstelen entdeckt. Trotz einer übereinstimmenden Datierung Ende des 1. bis Anfang 2. Jahrhunderts und einer bestechenden Entsprechung von Alter und Geschlecht zwischen beiden Quellen, besteht keine direkte materielle Verbindung, die einen ursprünglichen Zusammenhang bestätigen würde. Wie dem auch sei, diese Elemente zeugen von der Vielfalt der Grabbräuche im 1. und 2. Jahrhundert, wo Brandbestattungen und Körpergräber (bei denen der Kopf nach Osten gerichtet ist) nebeneinander zu bestehen scheinen, und wo manche begrabene Individuen wohl in verwesendem Zu…
Metodologiâ arheologičeskih issledovanij mogilʹnikov v Polʹše
2021
Archeology, by being a science, has its own research problems. It tries to analyze them using an appropriate methodology. Archeology deals with discovering the human past, likewise the environment, where people live, work and die. We cannot say also, that this is a science, which discovers only objects, that are used by people, while it discovers also an archaeological context, i.e. the place where those objects had been deposited. At each archeological site researcher has to consider an area under the prism of three landscapes: the first one is a natural landscape, the second is settlement one, and the third is ceremonial one. The last landscape is associated mostly with the least studied …
Les espaces funéraires laténien et augusto-tibérien des Reliades (Le Puy-en-Velay, Haute-Loire).
2022
Le site des Reliades au Puy-en-Velay (Haute-Loire) a livré deux petits espaces funéraires à crémation utilisés entre La Tène finale et l’époque augusto-tibérienne. Caractérisés par une implantation sur un lieu à la topographie remarquable, ils ont fait l’objet d’aménagements paysagers qui viennent souligner leur caractère ostentatoire. Par ailleurs, la présence de bassins pose la question de l’utilisation de l’eau dans le cadre de cérémonies funéraires et/ou commémoratives. Enfin, bien que le mobilier déposé dans les sépultures soit peu abondant et très détérioré par son passage sur le bûcher, quelques éléments permettent d’attribuer aux défunts un statut social relativement élevé. Il s’agi…
Le gallerie VIII e IX: analisi strutturale. Le lucerne. Elementi del corredo personale
2007
The paper reports the results of the archaeological excavations carried out between 2000 and 2007 in the Early Christian cemetery of Villagrazia di Carini. Four periods were recognized in stratigraphy, from late antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. The sepulchral typologies are arcosolia, loculi, "tombe a mensa" and "formae". The cemetery was used by the Christian community of the ancient diocese of Hykkara from the 4th to at least the 7th century A.D.
3.9.1. Villagrazia di Carini (PA), [Sito 86]
2016
The materials found in the catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini consist essentially of African Red Slip Ware, coarse ware of probable African production and oil lamps, both Tripolitan and types Atlante VIII and X. Almost all the materials have been regularly published in the reports of the excavations carried out by the Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra and the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Palermo, from 2000 to date: a first catalogue have been published in the Proceedings of the IX National Congress of Christian Archeology (2007), followed by updates in Rivista di Archeologia Cristiana (2009) and in a recent study by E. Vitale about the territory of the Early…
Materiali ceramici di importazione africana dalla catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini. Un aggiornamento sulla circolazione nel territorio della eccles…
2012
Primo volume della Collana "Quaderni Digitali di Archeologia Postclassica". La catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini è uno dei principali monumenti del primo Cristianesimo siciliano, cimitero di una comunità agiata e aperta alle relazioni con l'area mediterranea. Lo studio proposto in questo volume, partendo dai dati relativi ai materiali ceramici restituiti dalla stratigrafia archeologica dei settori indagati dal 2000 al 2012, testimonia i rapporti commerciali intercorsi fra il territorio servito dalla presenza del complesso catacombale, coincidente con quello dell'ecclesia carinensis citata da Gregorio Magno, e l'Africa romana e protobizantina.
Religious believes versus cultural resource management: about the Medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia (Spain)
2001
Archaeological heritage ownership is a controversial subject under the influence of both ethnic and religious claims. In 1996, a group of Jewish communities finally were able to interrupt the archaeological excavation under way at the medieval Jewish cemetery of Valencia. In this manner they did not allow the anthropological analysis of human remains recovered at the site that were reburied at the Jewish cemetery of Barcelona. Both administrations, local and regional, prioritized religious claims of the communities involved with respect to the archaeological heritage. As a consequence of a complaint filed by a group of citizens, the Síndic of Greuges of the Valencian Community (regional omb…
