Abstract

Abstract Usage patterns are one of the leading research issues in archaeological pottery studies. Non-cinerary vessels deposited in burials of the Lusatian Urnfield are particularly intriguing since they did not typically undergo detailed functional analysis. Their function has usually been determined based on the shape and surface treatment. Thus, grave pottery is widely regarded to have been explicitly fashioned for mortuary practices and not used for other purposes. It applies particularly to ceramic items other than containers, such as zoomorphic vessels, figurines, and rattles, which must have played a significant role in funeral ceremonies. The paper presents the outcome of morphological, stylistic and chromatographic analyses of vessels deposited in the Lusatian Urnfield cremation graves found at site 2 in Czernikowice, Legnica district, Poland. The ceramic items come from well-investigated grave contexts dated to Montelius’ periods IV and V. The results indicate that most of the analysed vessels had contact with substances of vegetal and faunal origin.

确定卢萨西亚瓮场墓葬中沉积器皿的原始功能：切尔尼科维采公墓（波兰）的案例

摘要使用模式是考古陶器研究的主要问题之一。卢萨特乌恩菲尔德墓葬中出土的非香料器皿尤其引人关注，因为这些器皿通常没有经过详细的功能分析。它们的功能通常是根据形状和表面处理来确定的。因此，人们普遍认为墓葬中的陶器是专门为停尸而制作的，而不是用于其他目的。这种观点尤其适用于容器以外的陶器，如变形器皿、小雕像和拨浪鼓，它们在丧葬仪式中肯定扮演了重要角色。本文介绍了对波兰莱格尼察地区切尔尼科维采 2 号遗址发现的卢萨特乌恩菲尔德火葬墓中沉积的器皿进行形态、风格和色谱分析的结果。分析结果表明，大多数被分析的器皿都与植物和动物源性物质有过接触。
