„Tezaurul de la Buzău”
“The treasure of Buzău”

Summary/Abstract: Several papers have been written about the golden items found in the area of Buzău County. The synthesis papers focused on analogies, while the description of the items seems to play a secondary role. Even for the papers almost entirely dedicated to the description of the items, this one is unequal as scientific value, due to the fact that maximum attention was paid to the earrings or the ring and the appliqués or the pendants were published without too many details. This contribution was written as an attempt to surpass this discrepancy, by publishing an accurate description of all the items and an analysis of their chemical composition. The assumption with the best chance to approach the truth seems to be that the items were grave-goods. The inventory of the supposed grave seems to have been a valuable one. Dress accessories could add to a set of jewelleries composed of “earrings” and ring, perhaps a necklace, too.
