First observations on the techniques of shaping and finishing of Gumelnita A2 ceramic from Chalcolithic site Carcaliu (Dobrodgea, Romania)

Summary/Abstract: The current technological study conducted on the ceramic corpus (Gumelniţa A2) of Carcaliu (Dobrudja) is a part of a multidisciplinary Franco Romanian project, devoted to the populations’ dynamic (during Neolithic and metal Ages) of agro-pastoral communities from the Lower Danube. This approach has its roots in anthropology techniques; it is the material expression of social relationships. In Carcaliu, first results on the study of shaping and finishing "chaînes opératoires" shows the existence of a local ceramic production framework. This production reflects a mastery of varied and complex know-how. These initial observations will be compared with data from Chalcolithic settlements from Lower Danube. It will be then possible to define the relationships among the communities established in such a zone of interference.
