Archaeological research relating to early neolithic (Starčevo–Criș) made during the construction of the Hydropower station from Porțile de Fier. Research history in Caraș-Severin county

Summary/Abstract: Archaeological research relating to Early Neolithic (Starčevo–Criș culture) in Romania started in the second half of the 19th century (in Banat) through systematic research of Kislegy Nagy Gyula and Felix Milleker. The period of maximum interest (for Early Neolithic but not only) was represented by the research made with the occasion of the construction of hydropower station from Porțile de Fier I (1965-1971) and II (1977-1984). The results of these excavations and field surveys, as well as the latest ones, from 1980 to 1990, were materialized by the publication of volumes and studies relating to Banat Neolithic by Gheorghe Lazarovici, Sabin Adrian Luca, Florin Drașovean etc. However, the Early Neolithic in the southwest and south of the country must be researched and analyzed in comparison with the end period of the Mesolithic, which was well documented in the Porțile de Fier area, both on the Romanian shore, but especially on the Serbian shore of the Danube, through systematic and salvage archaeological research, using both classical research methods and modern interdisciplinary methods, which help us to understand the Neolithic communties in this area to a greater extent.
