In the northern Dobrogea, about 80 km from the former Greek colony Orgamé and about 20 km from the Danube river crossing, near today’s town Isaccea, close to the ford on the Celic river, there is a settlement complex Teliţa-Celic Dere, dated to the sixth - third century BC. It includes a biritual cemetery with barrows and flat graves as well as a settlement located in the immediate vicinity. Another settlement was situated at a distance of about 4 km from the ford, near the place where today there is a monastery Celic Dere. According to G. Simion (a discoverer of that site), the discussed settlement complex included also a fortified village situated on the Edirlen hill (about 2 km from the complex), on the south bank of the Celic river. The Teliţa-Celic Dere settlement complex is a complex of special significance for the northern Dobrogea, where local elements overlap i.e. the remains of the Babadag culture, the traces of the population identified with the Thracians / Getae, the Scythian impact and the impulses of the Greek colonies located at the Black Sea.
The Origins of Cremation in Europe
(Fundacja Rzeszowskiego Ośrodka Archeologicznego, 2010) Gil-Drozd, Agnieszka
The issue of the origin of cremation is a very interesting and complex problem. The primary question is, why did people begin burning their dead, but also where and when did the first cremation burials appear? This article discusses the state of research into the causes of the emergence of cremation and shows the finds of the oldest known cremation burials in Europe. The source material presented demonstrates that the oldest, irregular forms of cremation rites occurred as early as in the Mesolithic, both in North-West and Southern Europe. In the Early Neolithic period, we can observe the evolution and stabilisation of the cremation funerary rite, which is visible in biritual cemeteries in the area of West and Central Europe. This situation leads to the conclusion that the tradition of cremation was developing independently in two distinct parts of the continent – in the north-west as well as in the south, and that cremation burials are not merely an exception in the Neolithic funerary rite.
