Project details
Short description
The main focus of the project is the investigation of the settlement process in the period between ca. 4800 and 3500 BC in the area between the Carpathians and the Pruth. During this period the Late Neolithic/Copper Age cultures Precucuteni and Cucuteni spread out from the interior of the Carpathian arc over the mountains and the hilly Carpathian foothills (Subcarpathians) into the Eastern European steppe. There, in the culture called Tripilija in the Ukraine, so-called giant settlements were built, some of which had more than a thousand houses.
The aim of the project is to investigate the economic and social processes in the original and core area of the Cucuteni culture, which led to the formation of these giant settlements in the steppe, but did not have such consequences in the topographically differently structured Romanian part of the distribution area.

The
main focus of the project is the investigation of the settlement
process in the period between ca. 4800 and 3500 BC in the area between
the Carpathians and the Pruth. During this period the Late
Neolithic/Copper Age cultures Precucuteni and Cucuteni spread out from
the interior of the Carpathian arc over the mountains and the hilly
Carpathian foothills (Subcarpathians) into the Eastern European steppe.
There, in the culture called Tripilija in the Ukraine, so-called giant
settlements were built, some of which had more than a thousand houses.
The
aim of the project is to investigate the economic and social processes
in the original and core area of the Cucuteni culture, which led to the
formation of these giant settlements in the steppe, but did not have
such consequences in the topographically differently structured Romanian
part of the distribution area.
