title = "The Bronze Age mounds from Aliman (Constan{\c t}a County, Romania)",
abstract = "During a rescue excavation in 2019 two Bronze Age mounds were investigated in Aliman (Constan{\c t}a County). One of them was 28×21 m in diameter, ca. 1 m in height and contained two graves (T3). The other one was 22 m in diameter, ca. 1.40 m in height with a circular ditch and contained four graves (T4). At a distance of ca. 25 m south-east of the first mound (T3), an isolated grave was discovered. The earliest burial dates from the last third of the 4th millennium BC, several others from different phases of the first half of the 3rd millennium BC and, finally, the last one was added in the 2nd millennium BC. In this article – taking as a starting point the archaeological, bio-anthropological and radiocarbon research of the graves – we discuss the absolute chronology of more than one and a half millennia of burial mounds use in Dobroudja and the transformation of burial practices in this interval. Our results correlate with finds from burial mounds investigated in eastern and southern Romania but also thewider steppe-like regions of Hungary, Bulgaria and Serbia.",
