Summary/Abstract: The tell settlement at Coşereni ‘Măgura de la Comana’ is little known in the literature. It was discovered by Ion Nestor and Eugenia Zaharia during archaeological excavations of the early medieval settlement at Dridu, Ialomiţa County, near Comana Lake. Nine Gumelniţa culture burials were also discovered and it is the opinion of the authors that they are related to the tell settlement. Archaeological material retrieved from the small part of the tell settlement excavated by Nestor and Zaharia has recently been discovered at the Institute of Archaeology, Bucharest. The excavators identified five Gumelniţa culture levels at the site. In this contribution we attempt to establish the spatial relationship between the small necropolis and the tell settlement and consider the relative chronology of the settlement.
