An attempt to reconstruct the chronology of the Roman and Early Migrations Period in the Lower Mureș Valley

Summary/Abstract: The present study summarizes a chapter from my PhD dissertation regarding the possible chronology of the Lower Mureș Region from the Roman and Early Migrations periods. The analysis was necessary because of the lack of consistency in the literature regarding the prioritization of the before mentioned periods.From a methodological point of view I used an inductive approach, by analyzing the grave goods of the burials from the micro-region with serration and correspondence analysis. As a result I have managed to distinguish six phases in the evolution of the archaeological material, from the turn between the 1st and the 2nd century and the middle or the second third of the 5th century, even though some critiques had to be formulated in relation to the suggested chronology.
