BONE ARTIFACTS FROM ROMAN CREMATION BURIALS: METHODS, RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS - THE EXAMPLE OF THE CEMETERY OF KAISERAUGST-IM SAGER (CH)

Résumé

In the Roman cremation graves from the middle of the 1^st century onwards only a few bone artifacts have been found to date. In this article we discuss the methodological problems that lead to this result and how their effects can be minimized in future work. In this way we can show that the types of worked bone from the cemetery of Kaiseraugst-Im Sager differ considerably from the contemporaneous finds from the town of Augusta Raurica.
