This necropolis contained graves belonging to the Early and Middle Bronze Age; out of 285 graves, 77 were attributed to the Maros culture. Osseous ornaments recovered from these graves were made from diverse raw materials, bones, teeth and mollusc shells. The typological repertoire includes pendants, beads, decorative pins, and applications. Their typological and technological traits, as well traces of use will be analysed highligh...ting their overall importance and symbolic role for the Maros culture communities
