Considerations upon the neolithic clay spoons with shaft hole

Summary/Abstract: Some of the most interesting “special pieces” that were founded in the sites of Porţ/Suplacu of Barcău “Corău” and Pericei “Keller tag” are the so-called clay spoons with shaft hole. They were discovered at Pericei. We undertake through the present study to present the main sites into which these discoveries were found and to point out the most important hypothesis with regard to their functionality: their pediatrical usage – to feed the children, tools employed in metallurgy, lamps, pipes, ritual objects. There are pro&con arguments of each of the hypotheses. All these pieces can be ascribed to the Late Neolithic and Eneolithic of the Northern-Western part of Romania and Transylvania. The most representative sites are those from Iclod, Porţ/Suplacu de Barcău “Corău” and Pericei “Keller tag”.
