Abstract

The article discusses the question of palaeolandscapes of cemeteries from the Roman Period and the Migration Period in the area of the Masurian Lakeland. The primary purpose of the multidisciplinary study was to answer the questions: 1) whether the natural features of the palaeolandscape were important for the choice of location for a cemetery; and 2) whether the inside landscapes of cemeteries were consciously shaped and lasted long. An analysis of the locations of several cemeteries from the Roman Period and the Migration Period uncovered in the study area showed clearly that there was a close relationship between the location of the cemetery and palaeo-environmental conditions, especially the relief, bodies of water (lakes, rivers and streams), and the plant cover. Of particular importance were elevated isthmuses between two lakes. The specific habitat conditions of these areas conditioned the specific and diverse plant cover. All of these elements of the natural palaeolandscape made the sacred place clearly visible in the settlement area. Case studies of the cemetery in the village of Paprotki Kolonia (northeast Poland) showed that the layout of the cemetery lasted long, and was clearly visible to the local community in the first centuries AD. It enabled the precise location of the next cremations, horse sacrifices and other ritual activities in the area of the cemetery. Key words: West Balts, Roman Period, palaeolandscapes, cemeteries, multidisciplinary studies. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v23i0.1299

马苏里安湖区(波兰东北部)罗马和移民时期的墓地景观
本文讨论了马苏里湖区罗马时期和移民时期墓地古景观问题。多学科研究的主要目的是回答以下问题:1)古景观的自然特征对墓地选址是否重要;2)墓园内部景观是否被有意识地塑造并持续了很长时间。对研究区域发现的几个罗马时期和迁徙时期墓地位置的分析清楚地表明,墓地的位置与古环境条件,特别是地形、水体(湖泊、河流和溪流)和植物覆盖之间存在密切关系。特别重要的是两湖之间的高地峡。这些地区的特定生境条件决定了特定和多样化的植物覆盖。所有这些自然古景观的元素使这个神圣的地方在聚落区清晰可见。对波兰东北部帕普罗特基·科洛尼亚村墓地的案例研究表明,墓地的布局持续了很长时间,在公元一世纪时,当地社区就能清楚地看到。它使下一次火葬、马祭和其他仪式活动在墓地区域的精确位置成为可能。关键词:西波罗的海,罗马时期,古景观,墓地,多学科研究。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/ab.v23i0.1299
