Un complex funerar preistoric descoperit la Târgşoru Vechi (jud. Prahova)
A prehistoric burial from Târgşoru Vechi (Prahova County)

Summary/Abstract: An Early Bronze Age burial was discovered in 2014 during the preventive archaeological research carried out at the Târgşoru Vechi Archaeological Reservation. It was located within the ruins of the ‘Biserica Albă’ (‘White Church’), in the space destined for the altar. The grave was partly disturbed by medieval inhumation and re-inhumation burials. Early Bronze Age research and discoveries are relatively rare in the study area. Multidisciplinary analyses of this funerary feature have provided scholars with new information on funerary practices and on the absolute chronology. Excepting the Yamnaya (Pit-Grave) barrow burials, only a few graves belonging to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC have been discovered in central Walachia, and almost all of them have raised serious problems with the chronological framework.
