Obiecte și interpretări. În legătură cu „mesajul” fibulelor „hibride”
Journal Title: MATERIALE SI CERCETARI ARHEOLOGICE - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The following discussion resumes a recurring theme chiefly in the Romanian and Bulgarian archaeology of the last decades, namely the issues related to the so‐called "hybrid” fibulae. Recent studies referring to this topic tried to clarify the typology and chronology of the previous definition(s) – rather unclear – of these pieces, and the “frontier” towards Thracian scheme fibulae or La Tène scheme fibulae. The "hybrid” fibulae diversity, their relatively small number and rather unique feature than clear or proper typological series – which combine elements derived from the two mentioned schemes –, place them rather in a "family" of copies than within a well enough defined "type". From the chronological perspective, they are to be situated (with a better probability, but still with some reserve) towards the ending production period of the Thracian fibulae that is by the end of the first half of the 3rd century BC. La discussion qui s’ensuit reprend un thème récurrent surtout dans l’archéologie roumaine et bulgare des dernières décennies, à savoir la question des soi‐disant fibules « hybrides ». Quelques études de date récente concernant ce thème ont essayé de préciser en tant que typologie et chronologie la définition antérieure, relativement incertaine, de ces pièces‐là et la « frontière » par rapport aux fibules de « schéma thracique » ou La Tène. La diversité des fibules « hybrides », leur nombre relativement faible et leur caractère à peu près singulier – plutôt unique –, mais qui mélange des éléments dérivés des deux schémas mentionnés, peut les situer plutôt dans une « famille » d’exemplaires que dans les « limites » d’un « type » suffisamment bien précisé. Quant à leur position chronologique elles sont à être situées (avec une meilleure probabilité, et avec une certaine réserve à la fois) vers la période de fin de la production des fibules thraciques, c’est‐à‐dire vers la fin de la première moitié du IIIe siècle av. J.‐C.
