Research paper thumbnail of 'Nitra-type' Cast Earrings in the Middle and Lower Danube Region

These earrings were spread over a wide area in the Lower Danube Region, where the type emerged; they remained in fashion from the mid-9th to the end of the 10th century. There is evidence of their local production in this area. In the Middle Danube Region, they concentrated around the post-Great Moravian centres, mainly Nitra, where they were in vogue for a relatively short period from the end of the 9th to the mid-10th century. The ‘Nitra-type’ cast earrings indicate not only contacts between the territories of the First Bulgarian State and the area of Nitra but also the migration and settlement of people from the former.

Hoci sú všetky klasifikované ako birituálne, obraz pochovávania na nich nie je porovnateľný. Plnohodnotné a dlhodobé uplatňovanie oboch pohrebných zvyklostí evidujeme totiž nateraz len na nekropolách obyvateľstva avarského kaganátu. Je zrejme výsledkom spolunažívania obyvateľstva s odlišnými kultúrnymi prejavmi sídliaceho na periférii avarského kultúrneho prostredia. Na ostatných nekropolách sa prejavuje len ako doklad výnimočného návratu ku žiarovému rítu u komunity, ktorá už inak prešla na inhumáciu.

Although all of them are classified as bi-ritual, their burial model is not comparable. Only the Avar necropoli indicate that both burial rites were common practice over a long period of time. Most likely, this variability is the result of peoples with different cultural manifestations coexisting together on the periphery of the Avar cultural sphere. In the other necropoli, however, these manifestations appear to be rather exceptional revivals of the cremation rite among a community that had otherwise switched to inhumation burials.
