Funerary architecture in Alburnus Maior (Roșia Montana): rectangular masonry enclosure

Summary/Abstract: Twelve rectangular wall enclosures were identified in the Alburnus Maior site, of which six can be reconstructed, being in a better state of preservation. Four precincts enclose small funerary areas covered by an earthen mound, each one designed for a single grave. Two of the larger enclosures describe funerary areas comprising the grave and the commemorative monument. This study analyses their architectural image and presents preliminary data on the built environment of three of the enclosures from theHop-Găuri Necropolis.
