Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lombard burial Urns from the grave field von of Kostelec na Hané
  • District of Prostějov, North Moravia, Czech Republic

Up to now, 437 burials from this gravefield have been studied. The dead were burned on a funeral pyre and interred in urns. Numerous outfit remnants as well as the decoration of the ceramic vessels evidence parallels to Elbe Germanic finds from the Prignitz, Mecklenburg, and Holstein. Even such inconspicuous grave goods as so-called urn resin, the use of which is documented beginning in the 2nd–3rd centuries, is regarded as typically Elbe Germanic. Urn resin is pitch from birch trees that exuded a pleasant fragrance and was probably of significance in the context of cult activities.

Deutsch: Langobardische Urnen vom Gräberfeld von Kostelec na Hané
  • Bezirk Prostějov, Nordmähren, Tschechische Republik

Von diesem Gräberfeld wurden bisher 437 Bestattungen erfasst. Die Verstorbenen wurden auf Scheiterhaufen verbrannt und in Urnen beigesetzt. Zahlreiche Trachtbestandteile sowie die Gestaltung und Verzierung der Keramikgefäße weisen Parallelen zu elbgermanischen Funden aus der Prignitz, aus Mecklenburg und Holstein auf. Auch eher unscheinbare Beigaben wie etwa das sogenannte Urnenharz, dessen Beigabe seit dem 2./3. Jahrhundert belegt ist, werden als typisch elbgermanisch angesehen. Beim Urnenharz handelt es sich um Birkenpech, das einen Wohlgeruch verbreitet haben soll und wohl im Rahmen kultischer Handlungen von Bedeutung war.
