Un mormânt sarmatic descoperit la Călăraşi
A Sarmatian grave found in Călăraşi

Summary/Abstract: The grave from Călăraşi was published in 1952 as an analogy for a tomb found in Moldavia, but it was followed neither by a discussion or a detailed description of the grave-goods, nor by photos or drawings. According to the few data published, the inhumation grave, accidentally found in 1948 (in the site called Aeroport) belongs to a woman with deformed skull. The grave-goods consist in a mug, a jug , few beads and a mirror. Unfortunately, we could recover only the skull and the two vessels (mug and jug, both made of grey fabric, with polished ornament). The grave can be dated in the 3 rd century AD, based on the analogies for the two vessels, and on the polyhedrical beads found. A more precise chronology is not possible, at least in the present stage of research. According to the anthropological diagnosis, the skull belongs to a women, rather of mature age.
