Present landscapes and contexts: a burial mound excavated at Coada Izvorului, Prahova County

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to provide extensive information regarding the results of the archaeological research carried out during the autumn of 2017 in Coada Izvorului locality, Măneşti commune (Prahova County). Within less than two weeks, the Prahova County Museum of History and Archaeology excavated using mechanised equipment an earth mound with a height of 1.2 m and a diameter of 35 m. It contained a total number of three graves, two of which were prehistoric, dating from the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, while the third was assigned to the Turkic nomad populations from the beginning of the 2nd millennium AD. No grave goods were found in the prehistoric burials, however the later one had two iron items, respectively an arrowhead and a ring, both of which were poorly preserved.
