Originals or local replicas? The techno-functional analysis of the disc-shaped antler cheekpieces from the Bronze Age settlement at Sărata Monteoru, south-eastern Romania

Articolul de față prezintă noi date despre situl paleolitic de la Cheia – La Izvor. Au fost obținute noi date radiocarbon care confirmă vârsta sitului în jur de 36 ka BP (cca 40 ka cal BP). Analiza faunistică arată că peștera pare să fi funcționat ca un adăpost pentru carnivore, ursul de peșteră fiind predominant. La acumularea oaselor au contribuit cel mai probabil și alte carnivore, precum hienele de peșteră, lupii și vulpile care au introdus e…
Archaeological research at Pietroasa Mică – Gruiu Dării (2019–2020). The Late Eneolithic period
În cursul campaniilor din anii 2019– 2020, cercetarea nivelurilor eneolitice s‐a desfăşurat în secţiunea 11, situată în partea de NV a sitului de la Pietroasa Mică – Gruiu Dării. Au fost identificate şi cercetate zece complexe arheologice eneolitice : C113 şi C295 (resturi de construcţii incendiate) ; C295a („aglomerare” de materiale arheologice) ; C298 (grupare de pietre dispuse circular) ; C296– 297 şi C299– 302 (gropi şi/ sau alveolări). În ce…
The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes
Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…
Zooarchaeological analysis of the faunal remains from the Palaeolithic site of La Adam Cave (Dobrogea, SE Romania) – new data from recent excavations
Săpăturile arheologice efectuate recent (2006– 2009) în situl paleolitic din Peștera La Adam (Dobrogea Centrală, sud-estul României) au furnizat numeroase resturi fosile, care au fost analizate în scopul obținerii mai multor informații asupra asociației faunistice din Pleistocenul târziu în zona peșterii, asupra contribuțiilor animalelor și omului la acumularea oaselor în interiorul peșterii, și asupra proceselor tafonomice prezente în sit. Restu…
Recent archaeological researches in the Vârghiș Gorges karst area (Eastern Carpathians, Romania). A synthesis of the 2014–2020 campaigns
The Vârghiș Gorges karst system (Perșani Mountains, Eastern Carpathians) constituted a point of interest for speleologists, paleontologists and archaeologists since the second half of the 19th century. Their efforts succeeded in highlighting the notable archaeological potential of the area, although the actual research results were not always thoroughly reported. Since 2014, our team reunited specialists from 10 different institutions and various…
Reindeer exploitation in the Upper Palaeolithic site of Buda, Eastern Romania. Evidence from older and newer excavations
The Upper Palaeolithic site from Buda (Bacău County) has been known since 1952 for the large amount of animal bones discovered alongside Gravettian tools. The revision of the osteological material from the old excavations (1958– 1960), as well as the study of newly discovered specimens excavated in the 2012– 2014 field seasons was carried out. The faunal material is dominated by long bone epiphyses and elements of the distal limbs, suggesting tha…
The Emergence of Extramural Cemeteries in Neolithic Southeast Europe
The emergence of separate cemeteries for disposal of the dead represents a profound shift in mortuary practice in the Late Neolithic of southeast Europe, with a new emphasis on the repeated use of a specific space distinct from, though still often close to, settlements. To help to time this shift more precisely, this paper presents 25 dates from 21 burials in the large cemetery at Cernica, in the Lower Danube valley in southern Romania, which are…
Steppe bison hunting in the Gravettian of Buda (lower Bistriţa Valley, eastern Romania)
Multi-proxy archaeological investigations of a Middle Palaeolithic occupation context in Eastern Transylvania, Romania
The exploitation of animal resources in Șoimuș-La Avicola (Ferma 2) settlement (Romania)
The aim of this paper is to present an interesting archaeological assemblage discovered during archaeological research at the settlement of Șoimuș-La Avicola (Ferma 2) (Romania). So far, this is the only example of a Turdaș culture osseous assemblage published. It is numerically representative, with 901 pieces, of which 796 are bone, 94 antler, 8 tooth and 3 valve. Among the bone pieces, a high standardisation in the selection of blanks is notice…
A hoard of astragals discovered in the Copper Age settlement at Iepureşti, Giurgiu County, Romania
This article presents the discovery of 25 abraded and perforated ovicaprid astragals in a burned house at the Gumelnita Copper Age settlement at Iepuresti in Southern Romania. They were analysed in terms of their processing, of the taphonomic processes that affected them (burning), and of their spatial distribution. These astragals were also analysed in the wider context of more or less similar discoveries made mainly south and east of the Carpat…
La grotte Coacăzei (jud. Brașov), entre les anciennes recherches et les fouilles archéologiques de 2008
La position géographique spéciale de la grotte Coacăzei, les études faunistiques multiples, d’un côté, et les données stratigraphiques et la succession culturelle souvent controversées, de l’autre côté, nous ont déterminé de reprendre, en 2008, les recherches dans cette grotte. Par les deux sections ouvertes, nous avons essayé de résoudre une partie de ces aspects. L’étude commence par une synthèse des recherches antérieures, et, dans la deuxième…
Şantierul paleolitic de la Poiana Cireşului (Piatra Neamţ)
The Poiana Cireşului Upper Paleolithic site is located on the erosion level cut into the flysch strata, roughly equivalent in altitude to the middle (45 m) Bistriţa’s terrace, on the right shore of the river, 4 km N-W from the city of Piatra-Neamţ (North-Eastern Romania). The systematic excavations are currently carried out by an international Romanian, German and French team. The paper focuses on the recent results obtained during the last stage…
