“…Other barrows in the region, however, were used for several centuries and contain much larger numbers of burials; for example, as many as 400 at Preloge, near Magdalenska gora (Tecco Hvala et al . 2004: 124; Dular & Tecco Hvala 2007: 123–26).…”

Kinship practices in Early Iron Age South-east Europe: genetic and isotopic analysis of burials from the Dolge njive barrow cemetery, Dolenjska, Slovenia

et al. 2023

The burial of multiple individuals within a single funerary monument invites speculation about the relationships between the deceased: were they chosen on the basis of status, gender or relatedness, for example? Here, the authors present the results of aDNA and isotope analyses conducted on seven individuals from an Early Iron Age barrow at Dolge njive, south-eastern Slovenia. All seven individuals are close biological relatives. While the group composition suggests strict adherence to neither patrilineal nor matrilineal structures, the funerary tradition appears highly gendered, and family links through both the male and female lines seem important in structuring of the community. The results have implications for understanding of kinship and funerary practices in late prehistoric Europe.

“…The burials often count in the hundreds, and in the thousands in better-explored cemeteries, which were in continuous use for several centuries and in some cases for well over 500 years. 9 Cremation of the deceased is a prevailing funeral rite, although there are remarkable regional exceptions, as seen in the inhumation burials under large, long-lasting family barrows in the Dolenjska region (Teržan, 2010;Tecco Hvala, 2012).…”

People’s ambiguous, ambivalent, non-rational and nonsensical relation towards death is a constant feature throughout the human past. The obvious way of dealing with such a stressful moment in personal and community life is guided by tradition – the well-established system of ways and manners of making spiritual meaning that implicitly answers how to go through this difficult period. From the long-term perspective, burying the deceased in pre-established burial grounds is a rather recent phenomenon. We can trace the intentionally arranged cemeteries as a continuous and prevalent way of treating the deceased in today’s Slovenia for no more than the last three millennia, from the Late Bronze Age onwards. The treatment of the deceased was much more diverse before that. From the earliest discoveries of human remains in the territory of Slovenia in the Mesolithic (8th–7th mill. BC) to the Bronze Age (2nd mill. BC), three different major manifestations of treating the remains of the deceased are documented. The first and most numerous was to expose and/or bury the deceased in the caves. The second was keeping the excarnated predecessors’ remains close to the daily life in the settlements. The third was to bury human remains in cemeteries. However, recent research revealed the fourth way of handling the dead – the immersion of their remains in the waters. Only from the Late Bronze Age onwards does burying all the deceased of a given community in communal cemeteries become the dominant custom.

“…The larger study of animal imagery on Dolenjska Hallstatt artefacts included many artefacts that are often used to identify gender (e.g., bracelets and beads;Teržan 1985;Tecco Hvala 2012, 376-384), so to avoid circular reasoning a more conservative assemblage of artefacts was used to identify the probable gender of the deceased. Probable males were identified based on the presence of weapons, defensive gear, razors, and whetstones (Teržan 1985;233-245;Tecco Hvala 2012, 137-143, 341), while probable females were identified based on the presence of anklets, textile equipment, earrings, and hair rings (Tecco Hvala 2007;Tecco Hvala 2012, 290, 332-333). In cases where male and female gendered artefacts appeared together in a grave without any indication that it was a multiple burial, gender attribution was marked 'indeterminate'.…”

V izogib krožnemu sklepanju pri prepoznavanju spola pokopanih oseb se opiram na bolj konservativen sklop predmetov, in sicer na orožje, obrambne oprave, britve in brusne kamne kot verjetne označevalce moškega spola (Teržan 1985;2008, 233-245;Tecco Hvala 2012, 137-143, 341) ter na uhane in lasne obročke, nanožnice in tkalske pripomočke za ženskega (Tecco Hvala 2007;2012, 290, 332-333). V primerih, ko so v grobu pridatki, značilni za moški in ženski spol, ga obravnavam kot dvojni pokop; če ne vsebujejo nobenega pokazatelja spola, pa kot neopredeljenega.…”

Women, Sheep, and Textiles: The social significance of ram’s head beads in Early Iron Age Slovenia

Ram’s head beads are well-known items of personal adornment in the Dolenjska Hallstatt cultural group. Recent analysis has demonstrated that they are the most common zoomorphic artefacts in this region with 187 currently known. This article updates the list of known beads and contextualizes their significance in the Dolenjska Hallstatt cultural group. It is argued that the sheep imagery of these beads and their distribution in female graves is related to local textile production. It is proposed that beads signalled aspects of personal and economic identity for Dolenjska Hallstatt women related to the production of high-quality textiles. In addition, the distribution of these beads demonstrates Iron Age community networks on the western frontier of Dolenjska, and perhaps even reflects the movement of women between communities.
