Chronology of the 1st–2nd Century Graves from the Tarasovo Burial Ground
Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 15
Abstract
The article focuses on the chronology of graves dating back to the early (1st – 2nd centuries AD) – Nyrgynda stage of the 1st – 5th century Tarasovo burial ground, a classical monument attributed to the Cheganda culture of the Pyany Bor cultural-historical community. Cultural stratigraphy is applied as a research method. Artifacts from the early stage were correlated for 37 male and 102 female complexes, separately. The analysis of grave goods from male burials showed the following three chronological groups, that can be distinguished at the Nyrgynda stage: 1st century (group 1), 2nd century (group 2) and 1st – 2nd centuries AD (group 3). The goods from female graves are more representative and various, so three more groups with shorter chronological lives can be singled out: the first half of the 2nd century (group 2а), the second half of the 2nd century (group 2б) and the 1st – first half of the 2nd century (group 4). Certainly, the suggested chronology leaves room for any eventual corrections subject to new findings.
