Morminte duble din a doua epocă a fierului în Bazinul Carpatic
Late Iron Age Double Burials in the Carpathian Basin

Summary/Abstract: During de second half of the fourth century BC the eastern part of the Carpathian Basin was colonized by groups of population set out from Central Europe. While in this region the newly established settlements from the fourth-second centuries BC reveal an agrarian world, the cemeteries of the period indicate a more complex society with well-defined representation of individual and collective identity through the structure, inventory and funerary rite of the graves. Placed in a landscape with numerous early and middle La Tène sites, the Late Iron Age cemetery from Fântânele-Dealul Iuşului / La Gâţa has been systematically investigated since 1999. Starting from a burial discovered in 2007 (grave 27) and another in 2014 (grave 46), the present paper brings into discussion the ‘deviant’ funerary custom of the double burials during the Late Iron Age cemeteries from the Carpathian Basin.
