Very interesting analysis of different ethic groups in the Balkans in
the times of the Roman Empire sec I AD - III AD, bases on different
forms of burial
"Thus the basic division is:
1. - Roman grave-forms;
2. - alien grave-forms of non-Roman origin;
3. - and autochthonous grave-forms.
Graves have been classified into these groups on the basis of an
analysis of the following elements: manner of burial; grave-form;
grave-goods; chronology; distribution; origin; and ethno-cultural
traits."
If the burial analysis of the author is quite interesting, when he
arrived to make some historical considerations like:
"The occurrence of Dacia grave-forms in the territory of Moesia
Superior can be explained historically, for a considerable portion of
the Dacian population was transferred from the left to the right bank
of the Danube in the 1st century AD."
he shows some important misunderstandings regarding the Dacian
Historical areal:
1. Herodotus placed the Getae between Heamus Mountains and Ister
2. Next, Burebista kingdom was spread on the right bank of the
Danube too, till the Haemus mountains
3. Next, during different negociations with Domitian an Trajan ,
Decebalus invoked several times the Dacian territories occupied by
the Romans in the past.
4. Next, Moesia Superior & Moesia Inferior had an important number
of attested -davae,-dabe too (see Georgiev:

This really indicates that the Dacian Presence in Moesia Superior
(& Moesia Inferior) is a Historical one, not a post-Roman one...
But despite these misunderstandings, the burial analysis is quite
interesting and shows us how the Romanization took place in that
areal in the I-III centuries AD and also how the Christianism was
spread in that times in the region.
I regret not to have the whole book and to can read it in English
