The paper deals with part of a Late Roman graveyard excavated in 2003-2004 by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Veneto just north of the ancient town of Altino.

Abstract

The paper deals with part of a Late Roman graveyard excavated in 2003-2004 by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Veneto just north of the ancient town of Altino. The burials are east-west and also north-south oriented. Female graves are more common than male ones. Many male skeletons show evidence of so-called anthropological “horseman syndrome”. The grave goods are attributed to a period comprised between the second half of the fourth and the early fifth century A.D. They are represented mainly by east Germanic besides late Sarmatian and Elb-German elements. The graveyard is probably to be attributed to a group of warriors (horsemen ) arrived in Altino during the second half of the fourth century A.D.
