Нове поховання зі зброєю пшеворської культури з околиць м. Івано-Франківська

Abstract

The article introduces materials from the new burial with weapons of Przeworsk culture discovered in Pidpechery village of Tysmennytsia district in Ivano-Frankivsk region. It was a cremation in urn that was carried out at a depth of 0.4—0.5 m. The thin-walled pottery pot (vase) was used as an urn. A small amount of calcined and cleaned of soot bones are preserved in it. Under the urn the warped spear, two spurs and fragments of a shield boos are found. Three times warped sword was put onto the urn. All these metal things were burnt. Analysis of the burial stuff suggests them to be dated to the end of С 1а — beginning of С1b phase of the Roman period. Pidpechery tomb belongs to the group of Przeworsk mili-tary burials of Middle Dnister area that are mostly dated within C1 phase. They could originate because of the social and politi-cal processes which are connected with the cultural transfor-mation in a region at that time, due to the development of new cultural formations of the Late Roman period in particular.
