Un lot de ceramică Cucuteni C de la Gârcina, jud. Neamt
A Cucuteni C ceramic assemblage from Gârcina, Neamt County

Summary/Abstract: This brief note presents one of the ceramic categories discovered during a small excavation in a site near Piatra Neamt, at Gârcina-Slatina Cozla II-III (NeamtCounty). The site was formed as a result of using the abundant salted water sources on this hillside Cozla during the Chalcolithic period (Cucuteni culture). The archaeologic deposit has the same general aspect as all the other prehistoric salt connected sites from eastern Romania (such as Lunca, Solca or Ţolici): a complex stratigraphy, composed of layers of ash and coal, and large quantities of pottery (all fragmentary). The Cucuteni C ceramics consists of about 160 sherds from as many vessels. The paste, the shapes of the vessels and the decoration patterns are presented. The authors conclude that this type of pottery is a common category of the Cucuteni ceramic repertoire and that at least some of the material from Gârcina appear earlier than similar artefact from Lunca or Solca.
