Stone objects from the territory of ancient city Orgame / Argamum. Preliminary results
Journal Title: MATERIALE SI CERCETARI ARHEOLOGICE - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The present paper presents and provides an interpretation of five classes of stone objects resulting from field research of the French‐Romanian project “Orgamè/Argamum, nécropoles et territoire”. The objects were discovered in sites placed around the Razim Lake, belonging to different historical periods. They are divided in two categories and fall under various types, starting with weapons and finishing with common household items. This diversity gives us the opportunity to observe the origin of stones and the techniques of their production. An important point is to understand for which purpose various stone objects were used in different periods of time, in a limited and well defined geographical area, so that we obtain new information about various aspects of the military and economic spheres.
