English Summaries István Dinnyés Early Sarmatian Grave Finds: Ocsa, Albertirsa Ócsa— Ö reghegy The grave that was found at Ocsa in 1997 together with its incomplete grave goods as it was documented in the museum increased the number of early Sarmatian rich female burials discovered without authentic observations. Among its finds the globular carnelian beads (Plate 1/2) as well as the six-leaved, pressed, golden costume decorations (Plate 1/4) are the characteristic artifacts of the early female burials. Its originally horse-shoe (crescent) shaped, golden pendant (Plate 1/3) differs from the similar pendants of the period with its twisted stems and bigger size. The latheturned decoration of the bronze mirror (Plate 1/5) found in the grave connects this object to the early Roman mirrors ornamented with lines of holes around their edges. The jar with red-painted surface and a narrow neck (Plate 2/1) found in the grave, together with some similar vessels (Plate 2/2-5), belongs to the group of a few vessels of the early burials of most probably eastern origin. The gray, wheel-made bottles (Plate 2/6, Plate 3/1-2, 3/6) are also ranked among the early Sarmatian ceramics that are linked with the painted pottery on the basis of some characteristics of their form (for example, the narrow neck and the continuous profile at the bottom). Among the hand-formed vessels there are finds similar to the former, wheel-made types (Plate 3/3-5, 3/7). The grave finds from Ocsa can be dated to the middle third of the 1st century. Albertirsa - Site No. 40 In 1994 during a preliminary excavation prior to a road construction four Sarmatian graves were uncovered. Two ravaged graves were without any grave goods. In the first, also plundered grave beads and the fragments of a gray, wheel-made vessel - jar or bottle - (Plate 5) were found. In the second grave a female adult was buried and this burial place was messed up only by animals. Its finds (Plates 6-7) show the characteristics of the beaded costume typical of Sarmatian women: the female body with decorated with a necklace (Plate 7/1-lb), perhaps a beaded bracelet (Plate 7/3-4, 7/6-7), most probably a textile waistband with a bronze ring (Plate 6/5), the hanging part of a band decorated with two wire rings (Plate 6/11, 6/13), a ring pendant with globules (Plate 6/15), and glass beads (Plate 7/8-10, 7/12, 7/14). On the basis of the partially identical types of beads from the first and second graves as well as on the basis of the early enamelled fibula from the second grave, these finds can be dated to the first or second third of the 2nd century. 175
