Oseminte umane descoperite în aşezări din arealul culturii Gumelniţa
Human bones discovered in the settlements of the Gumelnita culture

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of my research was to study the human remains discovered in Gumelniţa settlements in their context of discovery. The working hypothesis was that human bones are always part of a positive selection that is related to elements of the collective view on the past. Although this hypothesis was infirmed by the research’s results, it must be highlited that the human bones from the settlements are usually deposited in the same way as those from the necropolis. Besides this, the intentional deposition of the human bones can be demonstrated, at least for some cases. This fact urges the interpretation of these discoveries as funerary deposits.
