Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Urn from the Lombard grave field at Putensen
  • Putensen, community of Salzhausen, district of Harburg, Germany

Elbe Germanic cremation grave field with 988 interments. After cremation on a funeral pyre, the dead were generally interred in ceramic urns. A few cremated remains were, however, discovered in metal urns, which were Roman imports. Due to its characteristic weapon graves, Putensen is counted among the classic Lombard grave fields.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Archäologisches Museum Hamburg.
Deutsch: Urne vom langobardischen Gräberfeld von Putensen
  • Landkreis Harburg (Hansestadt Hamburg), Deutschland

Elbgermanisches Brandgräberfeld mit 988 Bestattungen. Die Verstorbenen wurden nach ihrer Verbrennung auf dem Scheiterhaufen in der überwiegenden Zahl in Keramikurnen beigesetzt. Einige wenige Leichenbrände konnte man jedoch in metallenen Urnen entdecken, bei denen es sich um römischen Import handelt. Mit seinen charakteristischen Waffengräbern zählt das Putensen zu den klassischen langobardischen Gräberfeldern.
