Summary/Abstract: The present research will refer to the period of the Early Eneolithic, the first Eneolithic phase. On the territory of Romania, the Eneolithic comes, on the whole, with important changes regarding the progress made by the human communities: a real science of territorial organization will be applied to the placement of houses, but also in their construction; the placement of houses according to a specific plan indicates the existence of an authority, the inhabited areas being arranged according to a specific hierarchy. In the period specific to the beginnings of Eneolithic, important transformations had already been recorded in the human habitat, the houses reflected the increase of fights between tribes, as a consequence of the accumulation of goods, a specific feature now was the appearance and increase of the number of strengthened locations. The sanctuary buildings of Early Eneolithic (from Căscioarele) prove the level of spiritual life, the sacred space was delimited and cult scene were practiced. We will register the specificity of the locations and of the buildings of each Early Eneolithic culture on the territory of our country, on their evolution towards the next phase – of the Developed Eneolithic.
