The chipped stone assemblage from the Early Chalcolithic settlement at Isaiia – Balta Popii
Journal Title: MATERIALE SI CERCETARI ARHEOLOGICE - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The paper presents, in detail, the investigations on the chipped stone assemblage discovered, during archaeological excavations, in the early Chalcolithic settlement at Isaiia ‐ Balta Popii. The technological and typological analysis of the entire collection was accomplished taking into account the various raw materials that are its constituents. In the case of the raw material with the greatest frequency – the flint from the Moldavian Platform –, artefacts coming from all phases of the debitage are certified. The results obtained for Isaiia were then compared with those from other Precucuteni II ‐ Tripolje A sites, highlighting the existence of technological and typological elements common for the lithic industries of the early Chalcolithic in Eastern Europe (North‐East of Romania, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine).
