Stylistic traditions and conjunctural constraints. The Palaeolithic female figurine from Piatra Neamț
The first Palaeolithic female figurine in Romania was discovered in 2019. It was found near a hearth, in a level assigned to the Early Epigravettian, in the Piatra Neamț 1 settlement. 14 C dates have provided the age of 17,200 BP. The figurine was carved on a sandstone pebble collected from the alluviums of the Bistrița River near the settlement. The flat shape of the pebble required certain stylistic restrictions specific to figurines of this ag…
A Brief Retrospective on the Evolution of Conceptions Regarding the Meaning and Interpretation of Palaeolithic Anthropomorphic Figurines
Palaeolithic art in general and female figurines in particular have been subjects that have sparked the imagination of many generations of researchers, generating countless controversies from which new visions regarding their deeper interpretation have emerged. Discussions on such topics are far from being exhausted. Through our endeavour, we have tried to bring back, perhaps disparately, some of the theories that fundamentally marked the sensiti…
A newly-discovered stone pendant from the Upper Palaeolithic of Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț (Romania) and its wider context
Cercetări arheologice preventive în orașul medieval Târgoviște – Strada Calea Domnească nr. 192 / Preventive excavations in the medieval town of Târgoviște – 192 Calea Domnească St
Towards the end of 2020, across the street from what is today Princely Court Openair Museum, the formally Princely Court of Târgoviște, as part of a rescue archaeological research project, on a relatively small surface, several medieval features were discovered. These structures unveiled several historical sequences from the timeframe of XVth– XVIIIth century. The oldest objects, consisting of a few ceramic fragments, indicate the existence of dw…
The Palaeolithic in the Mountain Sector of the Bistrița Valley – Old and New Interpretations
The Bistrița Valley is located in the north-east of Romania, crossing the entire Eastern Carpathian chain. To the Palaeolithic communities in Eastern and Central Europe, the Carpathian arc must have been a difficult obstacle to overcome. In the mountain sector of the Bistrița Valley, the two areas of concentration of Palaeolithic settlements – the Răpciuni Basin (Ceahlău) and Bicaz-Izvorul Alb – have been variously addressed in terms of the exten…
Post-Palaeolithic Anthropomorphic Representations in Romania Rock Art
Post-Palaeolithic anthropomorphic representations are one of the relatively frequent subjects encountered in Romanian rock art, especially after the discovery of sites following recent research. If we were to refer to rock art in Europe, where there are extensive regions with numerous concentrated sites, such as the Levantine or Scandinavian areas, in Romania, only the north of Gorj might stand out ; here, several sites have been identified in ca…
A new Palaeolithic female figurine from Piatra Neamț, Romania
Revisiting Archived Rye Grains Discovered at the Neolithic Site Cuneşti (Romania)
Direct accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating is crucial for a correct integration of plant remains in the (pre)history of crops, particularly for those that do not belong to the Neolithic package and are known to arrive in Europe much later. This paper reviews one of the earliest records of rye from Romania. The grains were discovered in the tell settlement of Cunești, which belongs to the Gumelnița communities (ca. 4600–3900 BC). In 1954, d…
The Controversial Context of Discovery of Some Palaeolithic Figurines. Gravettian Venuses – a Too Easily Accepted Postulate
A number of Palaeolithic Venus figurines, which have become famous, are actually devoid of archaeological context. This aspect is often forgotten and many of them are even considered as representative such artefacts. Furthermore, including them mainly in the Gravettian culture has not been justified by stratigraphic arguments or information related to absolute or cultural dating. In the absence of such evidence, false postulate has been formulate…
Gravettian Stone Pendants in Europe (A Proposal for a Possible Repertory)
This article is intended to be a challenge with a view to creating repertories of Palaeolithic pendants, classified in terms of cultures and the raw material used. Recently, a significant number of Gravettian stone pendants have been found in Romania, which has prompted us to start this project with precisely this category. The journal Annales d’Université Valahia Targoviste, Série d’Archéologie et d’Histoire has offered to publish any study mean…
Chronostratigraphy and the Palaeoenvironment of the Bistrița Valley. New Interpretations and a Critical Retrospective Evaluation
Cercetările arheologice de la biserica „Adormirea Maicii Domnului” – Strâmbeanu din Pitaru (com. Potlogi, jud. Dâmbovița) / Archaeological research at the “Dormition of the Virgin” – Strâmbeanu Church…
The present study discusses the results of the archaeological research conducted at the Strâmbeanu Family chapel from Pitaru, Potlogi commune, Dâmbovița County. The lack of written documentary sources regarding the family’s genealogy (with some of its members featuring the votive picture in the narthex of the chapel) and the uncertainties related to the year of the chapel’s construction, represent shortages that the study of the archaeological ar…
Gravettian and Epigravettian personal ornaments in Eastern Carpathians
Paleoliticul superior din estul Carpaților este caracterizat printr-o densitate mare de situri, majoritatea aparținând cronologic Gravetianului sau Epigravetianului. În scopul identificării unor diferențe și/ sau similitudini în manifestarea culturală a comunităților paleolitice din siturile localizate între Carpați și Nistru, studiul nostru se va concentra pe analiza podoabelor din această regiune. Rezultatele indică existența unor perioade în c…

Outcrops of Exotic Raw Material in the Bistrița Valley (north-eastern Romania) used in the Palaeolithic
This article deals with a number of raw material sources less commonly used by Palaeolithic populations in the Bistrița valley, such as amber and serpentinite. Artefacts made from such rocks have been found in the Gravettian from Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț site. The identification of outcrops of this kind of materials in the Bistrița valley prompts one to reflect upon the possibility of some of them having been used as local sources

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…

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…
Redefining the Epigravettian and Epipalaeolithic in the Rock Shelter of Cuina Turcului (the Iron Gates Gorges of the Danube, Romania), with Special Emphasis on Art Objects
The Cuina Turcului rock shelter is located on the Romanian bank of the Iron Gates Gorges of the Danube. Archaeological investigations conducted in the 1960’s revealed, in the lower part of the deposit, the existence of two habitation levels, whose cultural definition has changed several times over the years. Due to lithic material features, hard animal materials, C-14 dates and especially personal ornaments and art object, we consider that the fi…
Parures et objets d'art du Gravettien récent de Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț (Roumanie)
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…
Theories and Ideas ahead of their Time
The beginnings of the systematic Paleolithic research in Transylvania were represented by the complex activity of the researcher Márton Roska. This paper is the result of some preliminary observations of Marton Roska’s work on the archeology of the Paleolithic period. In this respect, we analyze several aspects, such as archeological diggings, stratigraphic identifications, observations on the lithic material, so to create an image of the first d…

The Upper Paleolithic in the Bistrița Valley (Northeastern Romania)
The paper deals with the Upper Palaeolithic in the Bistrita Valley (northeastern Romania). In spite of the richness of the Palaeolithic sites from this Carpathian area, the Palaeolithic record has remained largely ignored by Western studies. Apart from the most obvious reason, the language barrier, another particularly important motive for this cautious attitude seems to have been the chrono-cultural framework proposed by Romanian archaeologists,…
Considérations générales concernant la technique Levallois et ses produits. Principes généraux de réalisation et representations dans le Paléolithique moyen de la Roumanie
The Levallois technique characterizes particularly the Middle Paleolithic and essentially consists in the minute preparation of the core, so that the products achieved by this kind of debitage have a predetermined form. The Levallois debitage was defined in 1961 by F. Bordes, and since then numerous studies have been achieved concerning this kind of debitage. The analysis of the Levallois technique in time has proved its complexity, as well as th…

The recent field research we carried out in order to identify raw lithic matter used by man during the Paleolithic gave us a special surprise by the discovery at inca Nou of the first Paleolithic tools. The items discovered are located mostly in two areas of the commune and belong, from a techno-typological viewpoint, to the Middle and Upper Paleolithic, though we are not able, in our present state of the research, to make more accurate chrono-cu…
Considérations stratigraphiques et géochronologiques concernant le dépôt de la grotte Bordul Mare de Ohaba Ponor (Roumanie) (Regard rétrospectif et conclusions interdisciplinaires)
Les fouilles archéologiques, effectuées tôt et ensuite reprises plusieurs fois plus récemment, ont permis l’accumulation de matériel archéologique important, mais souvent interprété de manière contradictoire, à cause de l’utilisation de systèmes différents de numérotation des couches, ce qui a conduit souvent à bien des confusions. En même temps, les recherches interdisciplinaires importantes effectuées concernant le dépôt de la grotte Bordul Mar…
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…
