OSTROVUL CORBULUI - O DISCUŢIE ASUPRA MORMINTELOR MEZOLITICE ŞI NEOLITICE TIMPURII
OSTROVUL CORBULUI - A discussion about Mesolithic and Early Neolithic graves

Summary/Abstract: The understanding of the Mesolithic-Early Neolithic transition in the Iron Gates of the Danube is hindered by the fact that many of the sites excavated during the 1960’s and 1970’s are poorly published, especially in relation to the Early Neolithic. The present paper introduces new data concerning the Early Neolithic occupation from Ostrovul Corbului, one of the three Romanian sites in the Iron Gates where Mesolithic burials were uncovered. Although only one burial was reported as being definitely Mesolithic, the author draws on old field documentation and analogies to the Serbian bank burials to suggest that at least six of them could have been Mesolithic or of Mesolithic tradition. Consequently, the correlation between these burials and the Mesolithic complexes should be re-assessed.
