Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the issue of “isolated” graves inside settlements mirrored by the more recentfunerary discoveries from the Arad-Nădlac A1 highway sector. The two analyzed graves (Grave 1, Grave 2) fromthe site of Pecica–18 can be dated between the third century and the end of the third-beginning of the 4thcentury on the basis of analogies for the Omega-type fibula. The relation of the graves with the structure ofthe settlement though has raised certain questions during the excavations and the present article attempts toprovide answers.
