Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In Gothic grave 436 in Masłomęcz, central-eastern Poland, beads were found that were made of a jet raw material rarely present in central Europe of the Roman period. It has been established that such a pattern was the most common in Crimea and the north-eastern part of the Black Sea basin. By the third century after Christ, it was found almost exclusively in the Crimea, in Sarmatian graves. Thus, another element confirming the thesis of contact between the population of the Masłomęcz group and the Sarmatians has been discovered.
