Zeitschrift zur Archäologie Europas
Journal on the Archaeology of Europe
Excavations in Gobelsburg, Lower Austria, have revealed six graves holding three children, three men and one woman. The graves were located on the outer edge of the Migration-period settlement and had been re-opened and robbed soon after the deposition. Nevertheless, a number of different objects made of wood, iron and non-ferrous metal and glass were found. Leather and textile remnants were partially attached. In one grave, a ceramic pitcher was discovered. Anthropological study suggests that the men were probably mounted warriors whose weapons were bows and arrows. The finds assemblage corresponds to the D2 stage of the Younger Roman Iron Age in the Middle Danube region and dates to the 5th century AD.
Keywords: Gobelsburg, Austria, Migration period, burials, grave goods.
