guy Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 (edited) In Southern Poland, a Roman bucket-shaped vessel known as a situla was discovered. These vessels were used as urns to hold the remains of humans who had been cremated on a funeral pyre. It is believed that the vessel may have been acquired through trade with Celts residing in Central Europe. The discovery took place in a cemetery associated with the Przeworsk culture, which was in use from the first century BCE to the second century AD. Quote Researchers will also examine the human remains within the vessel, which are thought to belong to a male warrior, based upon the iron weaponry that were buried next to the urn. The ritually bent and burned sword, spearheads, and shield fittings have been dated to the first century B.C. on the basis of their style. https://www.newsweek.com/archaeologist-find-extremely-rare-roman-artifact-ancient-burial-ground-1955725 https://archaeology.org/news/2024/09/19/roman-bronze-vessel-discovered-in-poland/ Edited September 20 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
