Observații asupra a două morminte descoperite în necropola bisericii „Sfânta Vineri” de la Curtea Domnească din Târgoviște / Remarks on two burials in the cemetery of the Sfânta Vineri church from the…
Systematic archaeological research at the Royal Court in Târgoviște has included the necropolis of the “Sfânta Vineri” church in the field of investigation. Both older and more recent excavations have revealed the presence in this cemetery of graves with richer grave goods specific to the medieval elite, and also some graves with poorer or even non‐existent inventory. In this study, we analyse M.7 and M.45, two graves from the 2021 archaeological…

Wind Instruments in the Mid Upper Palaeolithic of the Eastern Carpathians
Three perforated reindeer phalanxes, hitherto unknown, found in the Brînzeni and Duruitoarea Veche caves in the Republic of Moldova, are discussed in comparison with the perforated reindeer phalanx from Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț in Romania, which has anthropic working marks to be considered a genuine wind instrument in the Late Gravettian. Furthermore, a mammalian diaphysis from the Duruitoarea Veche Cave, unfortunately split in two, with fou…
Personal Ornaments in the Mid Upper Palaeolithic East of the Carpathians
Mid Upper Palaeolithic personal ornaments found in sites located between Carpathians and the Dniester river, more precisely in the settlements of Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț, Mitoc-Malu Galben, the Brînzeni cave, the Duruitoarea Veche cave, Cosăuți, Climăuți II and Molodova V, have been analysed. The ornaments come from occupations falling in between 26-27 ka uncal. BP and 17 ka uncal. BP. The study of ornaments of this homogeneous and restrict…
Technical observations on the first Palaeolithic surface collection from Izvorul Alb (Bicaz, Romania)
Among the many Palaeolithic discoveries in the Bistriţei Valley, an impressive collection of lithic materials (almost 3,000 pieces) have been collected, over the years, from Izvorul Alb-Bicaz (north-eastern Romania). Most of the items come from surface recoveries and at this moment no site has been accurately located. We present an analysis of the first collection of lithic materials found at Izvorul Alb in 1977 and 1978, recovered from two disti…

Amber Deposits in Romania, with Particular Emphasis on Those Located on the Eastern Side of the Carpathians (Bibliographical Considerations and a few Field Investigations)
During the archaeological excavations of 2002, in the Palaeolithic site of Poiana Cireșului (north-eastern Romania) was discovered a fragment of amber in the first Gravettian layer. Recent investigations in this settlement have revealed four archaeological layers : one Epigravettian layer and three Gravettian ones. The first Gravettian layer, which is contemporary with the Last Glacial Maximum, has provided the richest habitation of the site, bei…

The Engraved Stone Pendant from Poiana Cireşului-Piatra Neamţ, Romania. New Contributions to the Understanding of Symbolic Behavior in Gravettian
The 2013 archaeological excavation campaign carried out at Poiana Cireşului-Piatra Neamţ Paleolithic site (Neamţ County, North-Eastern Romania) led to the discovery, in the Gravettian I layer, of the fi rst engraved stone pendant found in this settlement, in an area where such discoveries are very rare. The Gravettian I layer provided the largest number of art objects and tools made of hard animal materials from the Romanian Upper Paleolithic. Be…
Etude techno-typologique préliminaire de l’échantillon lithique du site paléolithique de Lapoş, Poiana Roman (département de Prahova). Les fouilles de la Colline D
A Preliminary Techno-Typological Study of the Paleolithic Lithic Assemblage from Lapo – Poiana Roman (Prahova County), Following Archaeological Researches in the “ Colina D” Area. Between 1993 and 2006, archeological researches of the Paleolithic site Lapo -Poiana Roman were located in two main areas : „ Colina D” and „ Liziera P durii”, resulting in the discovery of a large and diversified lithic sample. Unfortunately, outside several quite exte…
