A cist ( or ; also kist ;〔(Merriam-Webster Unabridged ) (MWU). (Online subscription-based reference service of Merriam-Webster, based on Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster, 2002.) Headword ''cist''. Accessed 2007-12-11.〕 from (ギリシア語:κίστη) or Germanic ''Kiste'') is a small stone-built coffin-like box or ossuary used to hold the bodies of the dead. Examples can be found across Europe and in the Middle East.〔(A Cist Burial in Jordan )〕〔(Burials in Ancient Palestine: From the Stone Age to Abraham )〕〔(The Early Minoan Period: The Tombs )〕〔(Excavation of Cist in Bologna, Italy )〕 A cist may have been associated with other monuments, perhaps under a cairn or long barrow. Several cists are sometimes found close together within the same cairn or barrow. Often ornaments have been found within an excavated cist, indicating the wealth or prominence of the interred individual. In Devonshire a local word for a cist in Modern Cornish is ''kistvaen''. There are numerous Dartmoor kistvaens. In the Welsh language (whose origins, like Cornish, are from the ancient British or Brythonic language line), ''cist'' is also used for such ancient graves, but in modern use, can also mean a chest, a coffer, a box,〔http://www.geiriadur.net/index.php?page=ateb&term=Cist&direction=we&type=all&whichpart=exact〕 or even the boot / trunk of a car.〔http://translate.google.com/#cy|en|cist〕 == Regional examples == ;Scotland *Balblair cist, Beauly, Inverness *Dunan Aula, Craignish, Argyll and Bute *Holm Mains Farm, Inverness ;Israel *Tel Kabri (Area A), Upper Galilee 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
