Observaţii asupra originii şi circulaţiei obiectelor de bronz în aria culturii Coslogeni
Some observations about the origin and movement of bronze objects in the area of culture Coslogeni

Summary/Abstract: Culture Coslogeni during its evolution is a synthesis of eastern, Danubian and north-Balkanic cultural elements. This is due, firstly, to the geographical area of spread of communities, on both sides of Danube, a natural circulation way of cultural products on the west-east direction, but also north-south. In whole, the communities of Coslogeni culture were more receivers and not producers of metal goods. The small number of discovered bronzes and the type of pastoral-agricultural society are not evidences of the existence of artisans in metal, who could create a production center in true sense of the word, as in neighboring lands. The origin of the bronze pieces found in the bottom of the Lower Danube, suggests the existence of an area of transit of these goods, integrated in the economic and interregional cultural system of the time.
