Abstract

Excavations at Kavousi Vronda, Crete, recovered 107 intrusive Early Iron Age burials within the abandoned Late Minoan IIIC town. Of these, three were secondary cremation burials in amphoras deposited in stone cist graves that also contained multiple primary cremation burials. The small quantity of bone in each amphora and the recurrence of skeletal elements (bones from the cranium and right forearm) suggest that these burials represent the deliberate selection of particular skeletal parts that may have been transported to the communal graves at Vronda. The author explores the possible significance of these token burials within the larger context of funerary ritual and the representation of the dead.

克里特岛Kavousi Vronda的二次火葬:太平间实践中的象征性表现
在克里特岛的Kavousi Vronda的挖掘中,在被遗弃的米诺斯晚期IIIC城镇中发现了107个早期铁器时代的侵入性墓葬。其中,有三个是二次火葬,埋在石池坟墓中的双耳罐中,这些坟墓也包含多次初级火葬。每个双耳瓶中少量的骨头和反复出现的骨骼元素(头骨和右前臂的骨头)表明,这些埋葬代表了有意选择的特定骨骼部分,这些骨骼部分可能已经被运送到弗朗达的公共坟墓。作者在葬礼仪式和死者代表的大背景下探讨了这些象征性埋葬的可能意义。
