Navigating the Flames: Comparative Analysis of Cremation Practices in the Roman and Early Medieval Periods at Gbely-Kojatín (SK) and Přítluky (CZ)
Original language description
Cremation emerged as the predominant funerary practice in the Middle Danube region during the Roman period (1st–4th century AD) in Barbaricum and resurged at the onset of the Early Medieval Period (7th–8th century AD). The Gbely-Kojatín site in southwestern Slovakia represents a poly-cultural site documenting burial grounds from both these historical periods. By using histotaphonomic analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analysis on skeletal samples from cremation graves in both the Roman and the Early Medieval burial grounds, we examined the temperature intensity, fuel composition, type, and quantity used during cremation. The aim of this research is to investigate and compare the differences in cremation practices between the Roman Period and the Early Medieval period at the Gbely-Kojatín site in Slovakia. Our focus is specifically on comprehending the technology of the cremation process
