Description

The cremation cemetery from the Roman period in Třebusice (Kladno district, Central Bohemian Region) is the largest burial site of the Elbe Germans (Suebi) discovered in our territory. Excavations were carried out by the State Archaeological Institute and later its successor, the Archaeological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, between 1921 and 1963. These excavations uncovered 960 graves, often with exceptionally representative grave goods, representing a unique, chronologically structured cross-section of the material culture of the Germanic population of Bohemia, from the initial phase of settlement in the second half of the 1st century BC to the first half of the 3rd century. This highly sought-after set of data remained unpublished for a long time, and the present monograph, dedicated to the comprehensive publication of all the graves, including a detailed catalog of their equipment, settles this debt to archaeological science and provides the research community across Europe with indispensable information on social differentiation, its changes, and the development of material culture during the Roman period. While the first volume of the planned editorial work primarily presents the catalog section, the second volume will focus on the analytical processing of the grave assemblages.
