MATERIALUL LITIC CIOPLIT ENEOLITIC DIN SITUL DE LA PETREȘTI – GROAPA GALBENĂ (JUD. ALBA)
ENEOLITHIC CARVED LITHIC MATERIAL FROM PETREȘTI - GROAPA GALBENĂ SITE (ALBA COUNTY)

Summary/Abstract: Petrești - Groapa Galbenă site revealed two Eneolithic habitations belonging to the Foeni cultural group and to the Petrești culture. The analysed carved lithic material denotes notable differences between the two habitations, in terms of the qualitative approach to the rocks, the approach to the debitage and to making tools. For the Foeni cultural group, it is noted predominant use of local raw materials, while for the Petrești culture, it can be observed a preference for higher quality rocks. Also, fewer tools are observed for the Foeni communities compared to the Petrești ones, this not being consistent with the analyses of the carved lithic pieces from other Foeni sites, but could be related to the inexperienced approach to raw materials, both in terms of the technique of carving as well as tools making.
