The »Tomba della Regina« of Sirolo-Numana (prov. Ancona, Italy). The outstandig funerary complex of a Picene woman of the late 6th century B.C. as key finding for European protohistory

位于意大利安科纳省西罗洛-努马纳的“Tomba della Regina”是皮切努姆最著名和最具代表性的墓葬环境，也是欧洲史前史中公元前世纪最丰富的墓葬之一。在地中海或中欧，没有其他坟墓拥有超过1500件服饰配件，两辆马车，一套华丽的饮酒器具，包括阁楼陶器和青铜器皿，以及希腊克兰。尽管2000件墓葬品中的大部分已经被修复并纳入数据库，我们也有大量的现代挖掘记录，但“Tomba della Regina”在发现近30年后仍在等待彻底的科学研究。这一具有挑战性的事业是该项目的目标，该项目将美因茨的Römisch-Germanisches Zerntralmuseum，波罗博物馆和马尔凯地区的Soprintendenza Archeologia，贝儿阿尔蒂和Paesaggio汇集在一起。该项目的重点是丰富而复杂的坟墓及其当地和进口的坟墓物品，这使其成为对Picenum研究和意大利半岛，希腊和公元前6世纪和5世纪中欧所谓的“王子坟墓”研究的交汇点。该项目将利用对陪葬品和墓葬群的考古学和文化研究，探讨有关皮切尼人埋葬仪式的形式和意义、前罗马时期意大利性别、权力和地位的表达以及古代贸易网络等影响深远的问题。该项目将为开展关于皮切尼亚物质文化和努马纳海港的国际作用的研究提供基础。

The "Tomba della Regina" from Sirolo-Numana (prov. Ancona, Italy) is the most famous and representative burial context of the Picenum, and also one of the richest graves in the 6th century BC in European protohistory. There is no other grave in the Mediterranean or in Central Europe with more than 1.500 dress accessories, two wagons, a sumptuous drinking set with Attic pottery and bronze vessels, as well as a Greek kline. Even though most of the fast 2.000 grave goods have been restored and included in a database, and we have an extensive documentation of the modern excavation, the »Tomba della Regina« is still waiting for a thorough scientific study after almost 30 years since its discovery. This challenging enterprise is the aim of the project bringing together the Römisch-Germanisches Zerntralmuseum Mainz, the Polo Museale and theSoprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio of the Marche region. The focus of the project is the rich and complex grave with its local and imported grave goods, which place it at the convergence of research about the Picenum and the study of the Italian peninsula, Greece and the so called »princely graves« of Central Europe during the 6th and the 5th century BC. The project will use the archaeological and cultural study of the grave goods and of the burial complex to approach far-reaching problems concerning the forms and meanings of the Picenean burial ritual, the expression of gender, power and status in pre-Roman Italy, and the archaic trade networks. This project will provide the building block on which to develop the research on the Picenean material culture and on the international role of the seaport of Numana.
