Abstract
The Animal Remains from the Late Roman and Early Migration Period Settlements at Vrbov and Lazisko (Northern Slovakia)
Highlights
Archaeologists exploit many sources of information while trying to solve their ‘ancient puzzles’
During the Late Roman and Early Migration periods when the burial took place, the mountains and valleys of northern Slovakia and southern Poland were inhabited by the so-called North Carpathian group people (Pieta 1991; 2008)
They probably engaged in a mixture of agriculture and livestock herding with a distinctive activity connected to mining, iron smithing, pottery or textile production, bone-working and trade (Béreš et al 1991; Budinský-Krička 1963; Lamiová-Schmiedlová 1964; Madyda-Legutko/Tunia 1993; Pieta 1991; 2008). Their characteristic material culture appears in sites located on both sides of the Carpathian passes with strong similarities with the material culture of the final phase of the Przeworsk Culture and the Ostrovany-Blažice late Roman group in eastern Slovakia
Summary
Archaeologists exploit many sources of information while trying to solve their ‘ancient puzzles’. During the Late Roman and Early Migration periods when the burial took place, the mountains and valleys of northern Slovakia and southern Poland were inhabited by the so-called North Carpathian group people (Pieta 1991; 2008) They probably engaged in a mixture of agriculture and livestock herding with a distinctive activity connected to mining, iron smithing, pottery or textile production, bone-working and trade (Béreš et al 1991; Budinský-Krička 1963; Lamiová-Schmiedlová 1964; Madyda-Legutko/Tunia 1993; Pieta 1991; 2008). Their characteristic material culture appears in sites located on both sides of the Carpathian passes with strong similarities with the material culture of the final phase of the Przeworsk Culture and the Ostrovany-Blažice late Roman group in eastern Slovakia. Some artefacts display evidence of contacts with the disintegrating Chernyakhov-Sântana de Mureş complex in southeast Slovakia and Pannonia Province (Pieta 1991, 385)
