Summary edit

Description
English: Goods from a man's grave in the cemetery of Zamárdi
  • Szolnol County, Hungary

Ca. 568 to 630

The cemetery extends over an area of 400 x 200 meters. By the end of 1999, 2365 graves had been excavated, but the total number may be somewhere between 4000 and 6000 burials. The graves excavated to date are located in the center of the cemetery and without exception were all robbed in antiquity, with a range extending from targeted removal of particular objects to the complete plundering of the grave. The finds, some of which are extremely valuable and products of outstanding workmanship, provide fascinating insights into the social situation under Avar rule following 568 in the area of Pannonia. Alongside typically Avar burials there are numerous Germanic-style burial objects, such as the two silver arm rings decorated with incised dentate ornamentation in Grave 517.

Deutsch: Beigaben von einem Männergrab im Gräberfeld von Zamárdi
  • Komitat Szolnol, Ungarn

Um 568 bis 630

Das Gräberfeld erstreckt sich über ein Areal von 400 x 200 m. Bis Ende 1999 wurden 2365 Gräber freigelegt, jedoch dürfte der Gesamtumfang bei etwa 4000 bis 6000 Bestattungen liegen. Die bisher freigelegten Gräber stammen aus dem Zentrum des Gräberfeldes und sind ohne Ausnahme antik beraubt, wobei das Spektrum von gezielter Objektentnahme bis zur völligen Ausplünderung des Grabes reicht.
Die z.T. äußerst wertvollen und handwerklich hervorragend gearbeiteten Funde erlauben einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Besiedlungsverhältnisse unter awarischer Herrschaft nach 568 im pannonischen Raum. Neben typischen awarischen Bestattungen treten zahlreiche germanisch geprägte Grabausstattungen auf, wie z.B. die beiden in Zahnschnittornamentik verzierten silbernen Armringe im Frauengrab 517.
