Piscul Cornişorului settlement. 1945–1946

Summary/Abstract: In this article are turned to account the results of the researches carried on in the ‘50th in the eneolithic settlement from Piscul Cornişului, the one which designated Sălcuţa culture, specific for the Olt river valley Western region. The settlement is placed on a hill on Desnăţui river right shore, on the territory of Plopşor village, Sălcuţa comune, Dolj county. The researches carried on by Hortensia Dumitrescu between 1945–1946 led to the discovery of two habitation levels represented by the wood and clay buildings burnished remains. There have been discovered at least 7 buildings, some of them massive, with inner hearts. The archaeological finds are varied: ceramics, antropomorphical figurines, flint, stone, bone, antler and cupper tools. The ceramics were discovered in quantites and well tipologically diversified. The ceramics analysis showed the existance of commun shapes for the two levels but also of some which seem to individualize the two habitation levels, for example the little amphora type vessels. The good resemblances with the material belonging to Gumelniţa culture found on the Olt river left shore rise the problem of a regional variety (Sălcuţa culture) found on the Olt river Western shore, included in the cultural complex Kojadermen–Karanovo VI–Gumelniţa.
