Necropola de la Valea Stânii (județul Argeș): o abordare comparativă cu caracteristicile grupului Hallstattian târziu Ferigile
The Necropolis from Valea Stânii (Argeș County) and a Comparative Approach to the Late Hallstatt Ferigile Features

Summary/Abstract: The necropolis from Valea Stânii village, Țițesti commune, nearby the city of Mioveni (Argeș County), is the most recently researched cemetery of Ferigile type in the northern sub-mountainous Muntenia. It is formed of about 35 flattened (and partly destroyed by the agricultural works) barrows with river stone sheet. In the recent years (during 2014 and 2015 seasons) five barrows containing cremation graves were archaeologically investigated by the Argeș County Museum. The diameter of the stone sheets was between 6 and 10m. The archaeological inventory consists of handmade pottery, adornments (clay, kaolin and glass beads, fragmentary bronze bracelet, bone pendant), fragments of weapons (sword, spearhead, axe, knife, arrows), household utensils (spindle-whorl, little knives) etc. The paper will draw a parallel between the features displayed by the necropolis from Valea Stânii and the other archaeologically investigated necropolises belonging to the Ferigile group from northern Munenia and Oltenia, like Ferigile (the eponymous site), Cepari, Tigveni, Curtea de Argeș, Țițești etc.
