Archaeological research from 1969-1970 in the medieval cemetery of the Precista Mică Church in Roman

Summary/Abstract: In 1969, the first archaeological investigations (with salvage character) were carried out in the medieval cemetery of the Precista Mică Church in Roman (Neamț County), following accidental finds recorded during the construction of a sports ground in the courtyard of the former General School No. 5. The research method from 1969-1970 included three trenches (noted S.I-S.III) and six extensions (noted C.1-C.6), which revealed 32 inhumation graves (two of which were double). Of these, only 12 graves contained funerary objects: nine coins (in graves Gr.1, Gr.9, Gr.16, Gr.21, Gr.22, Gr.25, Gr.27, Gr.28, the last with two coins), two earrings (Gr.24), two veil pins (Gr.21) and two globular buttons (Gr.17, Gr.23). Most of the deceased are adults, but a high infant mortality rate is also reported. The cemetery dates back to the 16th-17th centuries.
