Summary/Abstract: The lithic polished artefacts discovered during the recent preventive researches, open a new perspective over the relations between the habitations from Anatolia and Transylvania. Through ethnographic analogy, from Maramureş popular tradition, we can recognize some habits and objects discovered in prehistoric settlements from Transylvania, used as polishers, having remains of red or black pigment. The composition and structure of the archaeological materials from the sanctuaries of Early Neolithic shows an amazing similarity of the surviving Mesolithic technologies.
