An inhumation grave belonging to Basarabi culture discovered at Hunedoara-Grădina Castelului (abstract)

Dragoş Diaconescu (Hunedoara – Romania)

This study present a burial grave belonging to Basarabi culture, discovered at Hunedoara-Grădina Castelului. The skeleton, in anatomical position, was placed on the back and the knees was bended. The chest and the ribs’s fore part of the defunct was missing because the body suffered a cremation attempt. The form of the grave’s pit was a circular one, and the offering consist in a shoulder blade from a cattle. Also in the pit was placed fragments of soil burned very hard, some of them being vitrify.
Also, in he same archeological site, very close to this burial pit was discovered other pits and their shape was similar, but these doesn’t contain human bones or other skeletons. That’s why is very possible that this burial is not a part from a necropolis, in the proper sense of the word, and to be only an isolated grave.
