20.500.12556/RUL-180579 New data on Ditch 5 from the site of Marroquíes (Jaén, Spain) its use in the last phases of a funerary rite Novi podatki o jarku 5 z najdišča Marroquíes (Jaén, Španija) njegova uporaba v zadnjih fazah pogrebnega obreda This study presents the results of an archaeological intervention (area RU-1 (1-2-3)/SUNP-1) in the city of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain) on a sector of the vast prehistoric site of Marroquíes. The excavation specifically explored a segment of Ditch 5, one of several concentric ditches forming part of the vast enclosure. As elsewhere at the site, this ditch is characterized by a trough-shaped section and, although there is no evidence of a flanking wall, one of its backfills (Stratigraphic Unit 11) could stem from the dismantlement or erosion of an adjacent earthwork or adobe wall. The presence of secondary depositions of specific human remains atop the layer of backfill (Stratigraphic Unit 11) of the ditch appears to correspond to the final phase of a funerary practice. As radiocarbon dates and stratigraphic analysis suggest, these secondary human depositions were deliberately placed here (in a partly filled and abandoned ditch along the boundaries of the settlement), probably long after their deaths. Radiocarbon dating places the deaths of these individuals in the second half of the 3rd millennium cal BC, but they ended up in the ditch at a later date. They appear not to have served as references to specific ancestors or families, but to the community as a whole, which would have been bonded by acknowledging these anonymous ancestors. In any case, the space between Ditch 5 and Ditch 4 was not intended for households but for funerary activities and possibly for farmlands and areas for livestock. V študiji predstavljamo rezultate arheoloških izkopavanj (na območju RU-1 (1-2-3)/SUNP1) v mestu Jaén (Andaluzija, Španija), ki predstavlja del obsežnega prazgodovinskega najdišča Marroquíes. Izkopavanja so bila osredotočena na del jarka 5 – enega od koncentričnih jarkov, ki so tvorili del obsežnega obrambnega sistema. Tako kot drugi jarki ima tudi ta skledasto obliko. Čeprav ob njem ni dokazov o obzidju, bi lahko eno od njegovih polnil (stratigrafska enota 11) predstavljalo ostanke erodiranega ali razgrajenega zemeljskega nasipa oz. zidu iz na soncu sušene opeke. Na vrhu omenjene plasti so bile odkrite sekundarno odložene človeške kosti in zdi se, da predstavljajo končno fazo pogrebnega obreda. Radiokarbonsko datiranje in stratigrafska analiza kažeta, da so bili človeški ostanki v jarek namerno položeni precej po smrti – v času, ko je bil jarek že opuščen in delno zasipan, na robu nekdanje naselbine. Radiokarbonska umestitev smrti teh posameznikov sega v drugo polovico 3. tisočletja pr. n. št., njihova ponovna vključitev v prostor pa je časovno ločena od samega dogodka smrti. Zdi se, da ostanki ne predstavljajo posameznikov ali družine, temveč simbolizirajo kolektivne prednike celotne skupnosti. Prostor med jarkoma 5 in 4 zagotovo ni bil namenjen bivanjskim dejavnostim, ampak pokopom in morda kmetovanju ali oboram za živali.
