Újabb feltárások az Aranyhegyi-patak menti temetőben (Lassányi Gábor - Bechtold Eszter)

halotti áldozat számára (profusio). A cső legalján relief díszes, zöld mázas serpenyő (patera) nyelét találtuk meg. (5. kép) Az edény minden bizonnyal a halotti kultusz szertartásánál volt használatban és végül összetörve, nyelét a halottnak juttatták le. A 2005. évben feltárt temetkezések az előzetes vizsgálat alapján, a temető Kr. u. 1-2. századi használati periódusához tartoznak, azonban a kőszarkofág és néhány csontvázas sír melléklete arra utal, hogy szórványosan a Kr. u. 3. században is temetkeztek a temető e részében.

(Fig. 4) The masonry well of the cemetery was discovered in the southwest part of the test trench. In additon, a closed sarcophagus prepared for a newborn infant was found that contained no finds. Apart from the sarcophagus, 7 new graves were uncovered with rich grave furniture (ceramics, glass and coins). Six of them were cremation burials and one was an inhumation burial. Special insight into an event taking place during a Roman death cult was gained from one of the cremation graves that was uncovered. The ashes and the ceramic vessels (jug and tumbler) placed in the grave as grave goods were covered with tegulae and stone pieces in the form of a roof. In the eastern end of the east-west oriented quadrangular grave with rounded corners, a tube (tubus) made of imbrexes was passed down into the grave chamber intended for the funeral offering (profusion). The handle of a green-glazed pan (patera) with relief decoration was found at the bottom of the tube. (Fig. 5) The vessel was most probably used during the dead-cult ceremony. At the end of the rite it was smashed and the handle was sent down to the deceased. Based on the preliminary analysis of the burials uncovered in 2005, the graves belong to the phase of the cemetery dating to the AD lst-2nd centuries, although the stone sarcophagus and the grave goods from a few of the inhumation burials suggest that scattered burials continued to take place in this part of the cemetery as late as the AD 3rd century as well.
