Analiza tehnologică a industriei cornului de cerb din situl Cucuteni de la Drăgușeni-Ostrov (jud. Botoșani) – o nouă discuție
The technological study of the red deer antler industry from the Cucuteni site at Drăgușeni-Ostrov (Botoșani County) – a new discussion

Summary/Abstract: The goal of the present paper is to re‐discuss the red deer antler archaeological assemblage from the Cucuteni site at Drăgușeni‐Ostrov. The archaeological research was carried out by S. Marinescu Bîlcu and Al. Bolomey between 1970‐1974 and 1979‐1985. The assemblage is currently curated at the ‘Vasile Pârvan’ Institute of Archaeology, Romanian Academy. The methodology used aimed to identify the products and byproducts of the operational schemes, as well as all their technological and use‐wear marks. Also, we observed the manner the Eneolithic communities interacted with the animal environment, exploited its resources (in this case the red deer antler) in order to manufacture various osseous artifacts, and at times re‐integrated these objects in the cycle of use. Further discussions on other similar assemblages would make a decisive contribution to our understanding of the exploitation patterns of the animal resources during the Cucuteni Eneolithic period.
