Abstract

The samples originate from the funerary cache of a cremation burial mound dating from the Late Bronze Age (according to the Reinecke chronological system, Bronze D—Hallstatt A, according to absolute chronology ca. 1200 cal BC), discovered within the Susani-Grămurada de la Jupani mound (Timiș County, Romania). The pieces are sphere-shaped; however, many show signs of fire from the cremation of the buried person/persons. Together with bronze and gold pieces, they were part of composite necklaces and/or bracelets. Complementary techniques were used in the analysis: TG/DTA, FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDX to determine composition. All the techniques used in the present paper argued that the jewelry analyzed underwent a second burn at temperatures between 500 and 800 °C.
