Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Germanic grave goods from the late Roman fortress of Keszthely-Fenékpuszta
  • Zala County, Hungary

In the center of the discovery site of Keszthely-Fenékpuszta at the southwestern end of Lake Balaton is the late Roman fortress Fenékpuszta. The rectangular layout with round side and corner towers was erected during the 4th century in the territory of the Roman province Pannonia I and belongs to the circle of so-called inner fortresses. Since the late 19th century, over 1000 burials extra and intra muros as well as 24 stone structures within the fortress have been examined.
To the east of the horreum, probably in the vicinity of a wooden church, a total of 36 body burials have been dug up. Most of the burials were without grave goods, but seven graves were richly endowed. The goods are Byzantine or Byzantine-influenced products. They count among the most splendid commodities of the 6th century in Pannonia.

Grave 7 of the horreum cemetery, last third of the 6th to first third of the 7th century
Burial of a woman in extended supine position, with coffin vestiges and stone packing.
1. Pair of basket-shaped earrings, gold.
2. Garment pin (silver) with attached golden, spherical decorative part. Decoration of beaded wire and set stones.

Deutsch: Germanische Grabbeigaben aus der spätrömischen Festung Keszthely-Fenékpuszta
  • Komitat Zala, Ungarn

Im Zentrum des Fundplatzes von Keszthely-Fenékpuszta am südwestlichen Ende des Plattensees liegt die spätrömische Befestigung Fenékpuszta. Die rechteckige Anlage mit runden Seiten- und Ecktürmen wurde während des 4. Jahrhunderts auf dem Gebiet der römischen Provinz Pannonia I errichtet und gehört zum Kreis der sogenannten Innenbefestigungen. Seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden über 1000 Bestattungen extra und intra muros sowie 24 Steinbauten innerhalb der Festung erfasst.
Östlich des Horreums, wahrscheinlich im Bereich einer Holzkirche, wurden insgesamt 36 Körpergräber ergraben. Die meisten Bestattungen waren größtenteils beigabenlos, sieben Gräber hingegen sehr reich ausgestattet. Die Beigaben sind byzantinische bzw. byzantinisch beeinflusste Produkte. Sie zählen zu den herausragendsten Erzeugnissen des 6. Jahrhunderts in Pannonien.

Grab 6 vom Horreum-Gräberfeld, letztes Drittel 6. bis erstes Drittel 7. Jahrhundert
