Inventar funerar „redescoperit” într-o urnă din necrpola dacilor liberi de la Moldo veni, fost Porcești (punctul Dealul Gabăra), judeţul Neamţ, România
Funeral inventory “rediscovered” in an urn from the necropolis of the free Dacians from Moldoveni, former Porcești (Dealul Gabăra point), Neamţ County, Romania

Summary/Abstract: Archaeological research conducted between 1957-1959 at Moldoveni (former Porcești), Neamț county, the point Dealul Gabăra, allowed the discovery of a biritual necropolis from the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. 98 graves were investigated, of which 63 incinerations and 35 burials. After more than 50 years (in 2012), in a cremation grave (numbered M.36) in the urn some more items were found (beads and a gilded-silver cauldron pendant), apart from those known since 1958 (miniature vessel with offering, beads, basket pendants). The anthropological analysis of the remains indicated a juvenile/young woman, about 18-20 years old, cremated unevenly, incompletely, in a “green” state. The young woman was laid on the pyre very quickly after her death, lying on her back, with the head turned to one side. The combustion took place at moderate to high temperatures (400-700°C), in an oxygenated atmosphere, probably on oxygen-fed fire. The inventory suggests that the young woman had a special status in the community.
