Papers by Mihai Gligor
considerations in mind, our study will attempt to reconstruct the “history” of adornments made from marine valves which have been discovered in the Neolithic and Eneolithic site of Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă
(Romania). We will combine a technological study, aiming at the identification of all operations involved in manufacturing and recycling the pieces, with a series of considerations regarding the items’social value. We will see whether throughout the two chronological stages which are specific to this site (Vinča B culture and the Foeni cultural group) there are some mutations in the selection of raw materials and in
the technological transformation schemes. The use of different analysis scales is the only possibility for reconstructing the entire pattern followed by an object, from the place where the raw material was gathered to its places of processing and abandonment.
The material culture of the Foeni group's bearers at Lumea Nouă emerges also from the study of the chipped lithic industry (456 pieces), the rocks analysis, the techno-typology and the morphology of the artifacts indicating the supply and exploitation of raw materials, the technical behavior adopted by these communities and the adaptation to the new realities of the Middle Mureş Basin, by making certain lithic tools.
fatale, to represent mysterious women with skill and charm, capable to
manipulate men for their own agenda. The morally ambiguous image, the uncertainty between victimhood and villainy and the almost compulsory connection to dead of this stereotype make it a perfect metaphor for the way in which certain burial finds fit the archaeology of women. One very real manifestation of the idealized artistic paradigms is revealed in the discussion on the deviant burial of a woman from recently studied archaeological site in Bulgaria. In the search for meaningful explanation, the limited available evidence will be analysed with particular attention to the in situ situation of the skeleton and its immediate archaeological context.
