Viaţa spirituală a comunităţilor Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni prin prisma elementelor nonfunerare descoperite în aşezări
The spiritual life of the Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni communities through the prism of the non-funerary items found in settlements

Summary/Abstract: This article presents and analyzes non-funeral objects of worship, which were found throughout the area of spreading of the complex of Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni cultures. The spiritual aspect of life of these communities is well defined by places of worship (some parts of the “ashpits” and dwellings, ritual pits) and by the presence of votive objects made of clay, stone, bone and bronze (anthropomorphic and zoomorphic representations, small balls, miniature vessels and rollers, buttons, pendants, etc.) in the settlements. The present study aims to identify features of the Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni communities’ spiritual life not related to burial rites based on archaeological data obtained as a result of excavations in the settlements throughout the spread of this complex of cultures.
