| description | Weapons in the Warrior Graves of the Merovingian Necropolis at Erstein (Bas-Rhin, Alsace). The Merovingian necropolis at Erstein (Bas-Rhin, Alsace) is so far the biggest one discovered in Alsace, with 248 graves, but also one of the most notable, especially regarding the extensive grave goods found there. The weapons and the social statuses in these warrior graves were studied in a Master’s thesis in 2010 and it seemed important to publish the results of this work. The dating drawn from a typological study of the weapons ranges from the late 5th century to the early 7th century, but a high concentration can be observed during the two latter thirds of the 6th century (phases MA2 to MA3). The proportion of various types of weapons seems to show Alemannic and Thuringian influences, which will only be confirmed by a complete investigation of the site. Moreover, a group of warrior graves can be considered as having a privileged situation. This position gives the necropolis at Erstein a particular status in the 6th century, that also needs to be more deeply studied. |
