SĂRATA – MONTEORU II – ‘MARIA SĂBĂREANU’ POINT. A BRIEF PRESENTATION OF A CHALCOLITHIC SITE INVESTIGATED IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: The Chalcolithic settlement from Sărata-Monteoru II - ʽMaria Săbăreanuʼ was investigated in 1938. The purpose of the excavation was the recovery of data and archaeological finds from the preserved area of the site, as a large part had already been destroyed by Sărata River erosion and by post-Chalcolithic human intervention. Four trenches with a total area of ca. 120 m2 were excavated. According to the authors of the excavation, the archaeological layer was up to 80 cm thick and consisted of a single occupation layer. A large quantity of archaeological remains, especially potsherds, flint tools and anthropomorphic figurines were discovered. The pottery is fragmented, with the exception of a single complete vessel. The typological and morphological analysis of the ceramics identified many similarities with contemporary sites from north-east Wallachia, belonging to the Stoicani-Aldeni cultural aspect, a fact also highlighted by the authors of the excavation
