Abstract

In 1978, an inhumation grave was discovered by chance in the school yard of the village of Albeşti, Mureş County. Consequently, in 1979, two test pits were excavated here. On this occasion, in addition to the disturbed grave no. 1, three more graves were discovered (Figs. 2–4). With the exception of grave no. 4, oriented West‐East and disturbed by grave no 3, all other graves were oriented North‐South. In grave no. 1, oriented North‐South, a wheel made pot was placed near the head, and a hand‐made pot was found next to the left femur. The grave orientation together with the network of typological analogies of the two pots allow the dating of the four graves from Albeşti in the 4th century and their framing in the Sântana de Mureş‐Černjachov culture. Im Jahre 1978 wurde auf dem Gelände der Schule von Albeşti (Ferihaz, Firighaz; deutsch: Weissenkirch, Weißkirch; ung.: Fehéregyháza, Fejéregyháza, Magyar‐Fehéregyháza, Fejéregyháza) ein Körpergrab gestört. Als Folge wurden hier im Jahre 1979 zwei Schnitte angelegt. Dabei wurden, neben dem gestörten Grab (Grab 1), noch weitere drei, allerdings beigabenlose Gräber geborgen. Mit Ausnahme des W–O orientierten und von Grab 3 überlagerten Grabes 4, waren alle anderen Gräber N–S orientiert. Im N–S orientierten Grab 1, wurde im Kopfbereich ein scheibengedrehter und neben dem linken Oberschenkel ein handgearbeiteter Topf beigelegt. Die Orientierung der Gräber, zusammen mit dem typologischen Netz der beigelegten Töpfe gestatten die Einordnung der Gräber in das 4. Jahrhundert und die Zuweisung der Funde der Sântana de Mureş‐Černjachov Kultur.
