Sourcing obsidian from early prehistoric sites on the Arad plain, Western Romania
Metoda pXRF a fost utilizată pentru a obține determinări sursă pentru 109 artefacte din obsidian, provenind din șapte situri din Câmpia Aradului, din vestul României, și aparținând perioadelor neolitic și eneolitic. Obsidianul din care au fost realizate piesele analizate, provine din zona sursă a Carpaților 1 din estul Slovaciei. Rezultatele sunt în concordanță cu modelul observat la siturile din Banat și vestul Transilvaniei, ceea ce indică o pr…
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure – the case of the osseous debitage waste from Drăgușeni – Ostrov
Studiile privind industria materiilor dure animale preistorice din România s-au concentrat în principal asupra pieselor finite, care de obicei păstrează doar urmele rezultate din etapele finale ale obținerii uneltelor respective. Resturile de debitaj și suporturile sunt rareori menționate, probabil din cauză că uneori nu au fost colectate în timpul săpăturilor arheologice. Dorim să atragem atenția tocmai asupra acestor tipuri de piese, adesea mai…
A humerus varus deformity in a eneolithic grave from Gumelnița (Călărași County, Romania)
A case of right unilateral humerus varus deformity (HVD) was observed on the skeleton of an adult male individual uncovered on the eastern terrace of the Măgura Gumelnița, Călărași County, Romania. Skeleton M2/1962 was found crouched on the left side, the upper part of the body facing down. It was attributed to the Gumelnița culture (4600/4500 – 3800/3700 BC). Age at death was estimated to 30-32 years. The skeleton was subsequently restored in th…
Exploitation of Osseous Materials During the Mesolithic in the Iron Gates
The Mesolithic settlements on the left bank of the Danube in the Iron Gates have yielded numerous artefacts made of osseous materials. Products and sub-products of the chaîne opératoire are present, suggesting in situ manufacturing of the finished items. Among a restricted range of artefact types, the most characteristic ones are bevelled tools made of antler, pointed tools of bone, and boar tusk scrapers. Our research has focused on identifying …

Mesolithic Icoana revisited (II) – A reappraisal of the faunal remains
Localizat în zona Porților de Fier în sud-vestul României, Icoana era unul dintre siturile preistorice inundate ca urmare a construcției barajului hidrocentralei Porțile de Fier I. În perioada 1967-1969 au fost cercetate 91m2 până la o adâncime de maxim 3m. Datele radiocarbon AMS indică pentru Icoana două perioade de locuire de scurtă durată, prima pe durata mezoliticului mijlociu (cca. 8500‒ 7600 cal BC și a două pe durata celui final (tranziția…
Alba sau Băneasa – La Stejar? Reidentificarea unui sit arheologic din nord-vestul Bucureștiului / Alba or Băneasa – La Stejar? Re-identifying an archaeological site in northwestern Bucharest
Rescue archaeological excavations at Sisești Street, nos. 147– 175 led to the identification and investigation of 29 archaeological features dated to the Bronze Age, the 9th and the 18th centuries. The paper discusses in detail the results of the research (archaeological materials and features) from an interdisciplinary perspective. It also raises the question of the previos misidentification of certain sites along the Colentina River in the area…
Reinterpreting an intriguing osseous assamblage from Chitila-Fermă (Bucharest, Romania)
The 2001– 2004 archaeological excavations at Chitila-Fermă (Bucharest, Romania) uncovered features and archaeological materials attributed to 4th century BC– 1st century AD and the 2nd– 5th centuries AD. To the 2nd– 5th centuries AD were assigned a few osseous items interpreted by V. Boroneanț as bearing the remains of an ancient form of writing. This assemblage, curated nowadays at “ Vasile Pârvan” Institute of Archaeology in Bucharest makes the…
Stone and Osseous Adornments in the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic of the Iron Gates
This paper is focused on the various kinds of personal adornments that were used during the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in the Iron Gates region (southwest Romania). We review how the adornments were used, based on an analysis of their morphology and use-wear, and attempt to identify the sequence of actions involved in their manufacture. We document the changes in ornament type and technique that occurred between 12700–5600 cal BC, highlightin…
Implements of Wild Boar Canines During the Neolithic and Chalcolithic at the Lower Danube
This paper discusses the technological exploitation and transformation of wild boar teeth into tools during the Neolithic and the Chalcolithic north of the Lower Danube. Four main variables were taken into consideration: raw material procurement, blank production, object manufacture, and equipment maintenance. Tool finds from various prehistoric sites in Romania were compared, aiming to identify their impact on the economy of the prehistoric comm…
Prehistoric adornments from Cuina Turcului
In this study we examine in detail the prehistoric personal adornments from Cuina Turcului rockshelter (Mehedinți County, Romania). Early Mesolithic (‘Epipalaeolithic’) and Early Neolithic assemblages are compared from the perspectives of context, typology and use-wear. Ornaments from the ‘Epipalaeolithic’ horizons include shells of freshwater gastropods (Lithoglyphus naticoides, Lithoglyphus apertus, Theodoxus danubialis), marine gastropods (Tri…

Production and function of Neolithic black-painted pottery from Schela Cladovei (Iron Gates, Romania)
This paper presents for the first time the results of a combination of petrographic, geochemical and organic residue analyses of early Neolithic ceramics from the Iron Gates region of the Danube basin. Eleven early Neolithic potsherds from Schela Cladovei (Romania) were analysed in detail. The results of the petrographic analysis show that the ceramics were made with the same recipe that was used by Starčevo-Körös-Criș potters elsewhere in southe…

New AMS 14 C Dates for Human Remains from Stone Age Sites in the Iron Gates Reach of the Danube, Southeast Europe
Archaeological investigations in the Iron Gates reach of the Lower Danube Valley between 1964 and 1984 revealed an important concentration of Stone Age sites, which together provide the most detailed record of Mesolithic and Early Neolithic settlement from any area of southeastern Europe. Over 425 human burials were excavated from 15 sites. Of these, less than one-fifth have been directly dated. This article presents 37 new AMS dates on human bon…
Food for Thought
Stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in human bone collagen are used routinely to aid in the reconstruction of ancient diets. Isotopic analysis of human remains from sites in the Iron Gates section of the Lower Danube Valley has led to conflicting interpretations of Mesolithic diets in this key region of southeast Europe. One view (Bonsall et al. 1997, 2004) is that diets were based mainly on riverine resources throughout the Mes…
Compound-Specific Radiocarbon Dating of Essential and Non-Essential Amino Acids
When humans consume foods from different radiocarbon reservoirs offset in age to the atmosphere, inaccuracies in the 14 C date of bone collagen can occur. Mesolithic human skeletons from the Iron Gates section of the Lower Danube Valley have yielded reservoir offsets of up to ∼500 yr. This has been demonstrated through direct dating of bulk collagen from human bones and the remains of ungulate bone projectile points that were found embedded in th…
Protecția monumentelor istorice în România. Partea I-a -legislația și aplicarea ei anterior anului 1989
The protection of the historical and archeological monuments in Romania can be traced back to the end of the XVII century. Although focused at first on the retrieval of hoards and triggered by mercantile reasons, it became during the XVIII century (especially in Transylvania) a constant preoccupation, more and more backed up by official legislation. The authors aimed to stress the difference that an adequate legislation can make in the protection…
Climate, floods and river gods
A conspicuous gap in the radiocarbon record of the Iron Gates Mesolithic suggests that many riverbank sites were abandoned between c 8250 and 7900 cal BP.1 This period of site abandonment is linked to increased flooding along the Danube, which can be correlated with a distinct global climatic oscillation. The implications of these environmental changes for the interpretation of Lepenski Vir and the timing of the Meso–Neolithic transition in the n…
