AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document covers the Thracians and their influences on the area from the Carpathian Basin to the middle Dneiper River. Only the data that pertain to the East-Central European Iron Age, which ends at the Dniester River mouth in Romania, were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes. Cimmerians and Greeks were also excluded from the indexed data. The author describes some of the early metallurgy, weapons, pottery (mostly concentrating on the decoration), burials and tombs, and Thracian interactions with other cultures.
