Due to the complete excavation of a multiphase Late Bronze Age cult building in the Lapus-Valley of north-western Romania a hitherto unknown type of monument was discovered. It revealed a complex stratigraphy which offered an insight into intricate ritual behavior. A crucial aspect of the rituals revealed in the archaeological record of this site were deposits of feasting activities, presumably for a larger group of people. They were found in the immediate vicinity of the multi-phased cult building and other similarly structured mounds, as could be recognized as a result of geomagnetic surveys. It is the objective of the application to reconstruct the character and extent of these banquets and the depending sacrificial activities in a micro- and supra-regional context. The evaluation and complex analyses of a former excavation project are not part of the proposal at hand.Due to ritual violence the pottery used during the ritual feasting activities underwent a process of severe and deliberate fragmentation. Because of this highly fragmented character of the ceramic findings the project intends to develop new methodological approaches in order to analyze the material from an archaeological, i.e. cultural historical as well as statistical perspective.On the basis of extensive restoration work, micro-stratigraphic observations and by means of the modelling of radiocarbon dates the sequence and frequency of the repetitive feasting rituals shall be resolved into individual chronologically separable events. To gain accurate insights into the nature of the ritual meals, residue analyzes will be carried out; botanical macro fossil analyses and the analyses of animal bones will be done as well. An additional project part comprises of a geomagnetic survey at the site of Bicaz in the western part of the county of Maramures. It should clarify whether the findings in the upper Lapus valley can actually be considered as exceptional or if also here traces of comparable banquets can be discerned.We expect that our hitherto unsatisfactory knowledge of ritual behavior such as ritual feasting in the Late Bronze Age Carpathian area and its long-ranging connectivity be will improved.

由于在罗马尼亚西北部的Lapus-valley中彻底发掘了多相后期的青铜时代邪教建筑，因此发现了迄今未知类型的纪念碑。它揭示了一个复杂的地层学，提供了对复杂的仪式行为的洞察力。该地点考古记录中揭示的仪式的一个关键方面是盛宴活动的沉积物，大概是针对较大人群的。它们是在多层邪教建筑和其他类似结构化的土墩附近发现的，这是由于地磁调查所致所认识到的。应用程序的目的是重建这些宴会的特征和范围，并在微观和超区域的背景下依赖于牺牲活动。对以前的发掘项目的评估和复杂分析并不是手头提案的一部分。仪式暴力的仪式盛宴活动中使用的陶器经历了严重和故意分裂的过程。由于陶瓷发现的这种高度零散的特征，该项目打算开发新的方法论方法，以分析考古学的材料，即文化历史和统计的角度。在广泛的恢复工作的基础上，微及微分学观察以及通过radiocarbun的模型进行了良好的频率和频率的模型，使得radigosigraphic sigraphic和统计学上的重复性观察。按时间顺序分离的事件。为了准确了解仪式餐的性质，将进行残留分析；植物学宏化石分析和动物骨骼的分析也将进行。另一个项目的部分包括在马拉姆郡西部的比卡兹（Bicaz）地点进行的地磁调查。它应该阐明上层坎普斯山谷中的发现是否可以实际上被视为特殊性，或者在这里是否可以辨别出可比宴会的痕迹。我们期望我们迄今为止对仪式行为的不满意的知识，例如在青铜后期的carpathian and Carthian and Carpathian晚期及其长期的连接性。
