Rokosovo Husti. 12 incineration graves were investigated in the place called Chellenyţa (1800 square meters in area) in 2007-2008 and many objects were found around them. The graves were found at a depth of 0.3 - 0.6 m from the present surface of the ground and the grave pits had 0.4 - 0.8 m in diameter. The grave hole revealed a small number of calcined bones along with the objects the deceased were wearing at the moment of incineration. Some incineration waste was deposited in ceramic vessels and covered with fruitdishes. Jewelry was laid in women graves and weapons in mens graves. The most representative are the weapons, the horse riders’ equipment and the horse harness. Weapons are represented by two-edged, Celtic swords (7 samples) of 90 cm long, with the guard shaping a bell, and Dacians knives (4 samples), 50 cm long. All of them were folded in ritual form. A large number of spear points (up to 35 cm) shaping a ribbed pen like, pilum points and several arrow points were discovered. The surface of the necropolis revealed a battle-ax, fragments of a coat of mail, fragments of thousand umbos, complete curb bits and their accessories (bridles). According to analogies from the south of the Carpathian Basin, we can assume a date in the first half of the 1st century BC. The horse equipment is represented by Celtic spurs (21 samples). One of the spurs is remarkable for its length, wide shoulders and large buttons at both ends. A unique category of the finds from the place called Chellenyţa are jewelry and clothing accessories. Here we mention the fibulae made of iron wire dating at the end of the 2nd century - the first half of the 1st century BC, belt buckles and locks, belt chain fragments, bracelets and beads (fig. 38). Two decorated buckles turn out special among the others. The first was made of iron plate, with trapezoidal shape, depicting two birds on its surface (cormorants) that hold fish with their claws. The drawing was a typical subject for the Getae of the - region of Danubius (Danube) and Balkans. The hook depicts the image of a dog, and the inside part has a fastening belt rivet. The buckle was 12.5 cm long and 4.5 - 6.7 cm wide. The second iron buckle is rectangular in shape (7 x 2.4 - 3.1 cm), with silver inlay shaping a tree with branches. The gold objects are: a torques, a pendant shaping a bucket and the adornment of a bracelet. The most interesting piece is the torques 49
