Nienbüttel - ,the richest cemetery in Eastern Lower Saxony'

100多年来，乌尔岑农村地区nienb<s:1> ttel墓地的骨灰瓮和坟墓礼物一直存放在汉诺威下萨克森州国家博物馆的档案馆中。过去几十年的二手文献反复强调了这个前罗马铁器时代晚期和早期罗马铁器时代的墓地的特殊意义。挖掘者古斯塔夫·施万特斯（Gustav Schwantes）很早就发现了它非凡的品质。这个墓地的突出之处在于大量的武器墓葬，这是这个时代其他墓地所不知道的，除了迄今为止独特的武器仪式沉积物，通常是后来武器祭祀的记录。除了两座坟墓和一些单一物品，其中主要是近二十件罗马金属器皿，这些发现尚未发表，因此无法进行进一步的科学分析。该项目旨在根据原始的发掘日记和档案中的其他发现，并根据陶瓷发现，提供一个完整的坟墓目录，以建立一个更准确的年代和空间发展的第一个陈述，并在大约250年的时间里作为一个墓地存在。这一遗址在罗马铁器时代的研究中第一次被赋予了与nienb<e:1>特尔真正的科学潜力相当的价值。

For more than 100 years the urns and grave gifts of the cemetery of Nienbüttel, rural district of Uelzen, have been stored unprepared in the archive of the State Museum of Lower Saxony at Hanover. The secondary literature of the past decades has repeatedly stressed the exceptional significance of this necropolis from the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age and Early Roman Iron Age. Gustav Schwantes, the digger, already recognized its extraordinary quality very early. What is outstanding about this necropolis is the big share of weapon burials, known from no other cemetery of this era, besides hitherto unique ritual deposits of weaponry as usually documented for weapon sacrifices of later times. Except for the inventories of two graves and some single objects, among them primarily the almost two dozens of Roman metallic vessels, the finds have not been published yet, thus being inaccessible for further scientific analysis.The project aims at presenting a complete catalogue of the graves based on the original excavation diaries and additional finds from the archives and, based on ceramic finds, at establishing first statements on a more exact dating and the spatial development and intensity during the approximately 250 years of existence as a necropolis. For the first time, this excavation site is granted the value in the research on the Roman Iron Age that equals Nienbüttel's true scientific potential.
