During a resecue excavation in the area of Mušov-Neurissen (Land-register territory Mušov, municipality Pasohlávky, district Brno-venkov) in 1993-1994 we investigated an area with numerous traces of Roman military presence, and we also found evidence for settlement activities of local barbarian populations. An important Marcomannic wars site is located beneath Burgstall hill. In the area of Neurissen (Mušov-Neurissen IV), human skeletons (34 individuals) and parts of animal skeletons have been found. This article is focused on small artefacts of barbarian provenance which have been recovered from the ditch filling. One possible interpretation of this unusual find is that the humans found in the ditch were killed and discarded in the ditch during rituals, the details of which remain unknown., Ondrej Šedo., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
