Revised data on graves and grave goods from the Late Antique cemetery Lajh in Kranj (Slovenia) : dataset

Pavletič, Kaja (author)

The dataset, presented in a data paper (submited), includes data about the Late Antique cemetery Lajh in Kranj (Slovenia), one of the largest burial grounds of the period in the wider region. The dataset combines archaeological, archival, and museum data generated over more than a century of excavations conducted under highly variable methodological conditions. A through revision of field documentation, publications, inventory books, photographs, maps, preserved artefacts and osteological material enabled critical assessment and the reconstruction of grave assemblages and associated finds. The resulting dataset provides a standardised basis for further quantitative, comparative and interdisciplinary research into Late Antique and Early Medieval burial practices.

Abstract

Podatkovna zbirka, predstavljena v podatkovnem članku (oddan), vključuje podatke o poznoantičnem grobišču Lajh v Kranju (Slovenija), enem največjih grobišč tega obdobja v širši regiji. Zbirka združuje arheološke, arhivske in muzejske podatke, ki so nastali v več kot stoletju izkopavanj, izvedenih v zelo različnih metodoloških okoliščinah. Temeljita revizija terenske dokumentacije, objav, inventarnih knjig, fotografij, načrtov, ohranjenih najdb in osteološkega gradiva je omogočila kritično presojo in rekonstrukcijo grobnih celot ter z njimi povezanih najdb. Nastala podatkovna zbirka predstavlja standardizirano osnovo za nadaljnje kvantitativne, primerjalne in interdisciplinarne raziskave poznoantičnih in zgodnjesrednjeveških pogrebnih praks.
