Németh Péter Gergely: Somogy megye római kori temetői
126 XII. tábla. Római kori temetők térképe Roman Cemeteries in County Somogy PÉTER GERGELY NÉMETH Roman Age barrow burials in со. Somogy begin at the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries. The latest one was found in Barrow 1 at Somogyjád, dated to the last third of the 3rd century. Non-barrow burials begin in the 1st century with only scarce data for early cemeteries including Szólád-Major and Kapoly beginning in the 2nd century. 3rd century burials are also very poorly supported by data. Most cemeteries are dated to the 4,h century, given that the bricks uncovered during field cultivation draw attention to the burial, leaving a better chance to survive. The cemetery at Zamárdi-Gépállomás published earlier reaches even over to the 5lh century. A grave at Ságvár yielded a find from the second half of the 5th century. The graves at Ordacsehi belong to the Migration Period. Though a lot of old data are available, they contain several uncertain factors, even the number of cemeteries is questionable in some cases. Thus the data we have about several cemeteries at Büssü may partly refer to one. The same applies to Szántód and Vörs, where the site map (Table XII) shows an uneven distribution of the cemeteries. It is uncertain whether it is the result of historical reasons or simply a lack of research. In the case of the grave finds delivered to the museum the issue arises that not all the objects may have been collected and if several graves had been uncovered, the grave goods may have been mixed up. The material published in the study may be a starting point, while new and full cemetery excavations in addition to the publication of further finds should bring about a significant change in what we know so far.
