Un mormânt din perioada medievală descoperit la Ip-Dealul Bisericii (județul Sălaj)

Abstract

: A Medieval Grave discovered at Ip – Dealul Bisericii (Sălaj County) The archeological site from Ip - Dealul Bisericii is located in the center of Ip village, on a high terrace on the right side of the Barcău valley. The site was identified during the surface research carried out in 2002. The first archaeological investigation took place in 2009 through a rescue excavation resulting in the identification of a number of 10 archeological features from different epochs: bronze age, roman period, medieval period. The archeological feature that is the object of the present approach is a inhumation grave (feature C. 5/2009) which had as inventory a belt buckle made of bronze. Based on the analogies, considering also the beginnings of the functioning of the medieval church, we can assume that the dating of medieval grave C. 5/2009 can be placed most likely in the XV th century.
