During 2003-2006 a project on the Starcevo-Cris pottery was carriedout at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UK). Theaim of the project was to shed more light on the Neolithisation process ofthe Balkan Peninsula. The methods employed to answer this question werescientific analysis of ceramics and fired clay objects, and radiocarbon datingof samples, from 20 early Neolithic sites in Serbia, Romania, and Slavonia.The ceramic analyses were carried out in order to define possibleroutes of trade/exchange in the early Neolithic and the manufacturingprocess of fired clay objects. The radiocarbon dating was required to definean absolute chronology for the early Neolithic in this region and to identifypossible routes for the spread of the Neolithic (Biagi P., Spataro M., 2005;Biagi et al., 2005).
2003-2006年期间,在英国伦敦大学学院考古研究所开展了一项关于Starcevo-Cris陶器的项目。该项目的目的是为了更好地了解巴尔干半岛的新石器时代。回答这个问题的方法是对来自塞尔维亚、罗马尼亚和斯拉沃尼亚20个新石器时代早期遗址的陶瓷和烧制粘土制品进行科学分析,并对样品进行放射性碳定年。进行陶瓷分析是为了确定新石器时代早期可能的贸易/交换路线以及烧制粘土制品的制造过程。需要放射性碳定年来确定该地区早期新石器时代的绝对年代,并确定新石器时代传播的可能途径(Biagi P., Spataro M., 2005;Biagi et al., 2005)。

This paper summarizes osteometric data for cattle and pig from Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic contexts at Schela Cladovei in an attempt to distinguish between the wild and domestic forms of these animals. The data are compared to empirical size ranges published by Bökönyi for aurochs (Bos primigenius) and wild pig (Sus scrofa). The results suggest the overwhelming majority of the bones measured fall below the median values of the wild forms. No cattle bones were recovered from secure Mesolithic contexts and the size-range data are congruent with the view that most of the cattle from the site were domestic. There is a clear overlap between the size-ranges of the pig bones from Mesolithic and Neolithic contexts, which does not contradict the idea of interbreeding between wild and domestic populations put forward in previous studies.

The paper is trying to point out the existence of a possiblecorrelation between the position of the skeletons in the Neolithic time ofRomania and the Balkan region and the Sun. Most of the largecemeteries considered here, with numerous skeletons, were excavatedsome decades ago (in the 50’s and 60’s of the 20th century) so that, theonly instrument employed in the measurements was a simple compass.It means that no precise figures could be given, with regard to theorientation of the individuals under study; this is why some biasescould appear. Even today, we have very few possibilities to determinethe exact position of the skeletons in a necropolis; some of the possiblecauses being also the pressure of the earth upon the bones, which couldsomehow modify their initial position. In certain cases, somedisturbances could be also determined by the landslides, floods orearthquakes, being known, for a long time, that Romania is situated intoa region with high seismic risk. None at the least, the subsequent humanintervenes, plundering for instance, have changed the initial situation.That’s why there are some controversies regarding the issue of theskeletons orientation to the Sun. Some scholars considered it as a truefact (Cantacuzino Gh., Morintz S., 1968), while others were reluctant tothis hypothesis (Bacvarov K., 2002, 260). Yet, in Central and EasternEurope, the mentioned issue is considered to be very topical today(Lichter C., 2001).

In this paper an attempt to reveal the different systems of raw material procurement and supply in the territory of Northern and Eastern Thrace and South Marmara region have been done and the results are presented further down. (Map 1) Northern Thrace - systems of raw material procurement and supply ‐ VII mill BC In the territory of Northern Thrace a well defined system based on acquiring with high quality flint raw material had functioning. The former was connected with white - painted and dark-polished pottery phases in this area during the first half of VII mill BC. In Northern Thrace the appearance of very high quality flint in all Early Neolithic assemblages could be established. The flint is yellow, yellow-reddish to brown and grayish in colour, opaque, with patterns of stripes or spots of varying density. (Hiller S., Nikolov V., 2000) This type of raw material is registries in shape of relatively big blades in all sites chronologically relating to the first half of VII mill in Northern Thrace. Up to now flint cores from the above-mentioned high quality yellow, yellow-reddish raw material have not been found in all Early Neolithic settlements of Bulgarian Thrace. This fact suggested that the core preparation and exploitation was done off the settlements and very likely somewhere more or less close to the places of flint provenance. This way could be explained the fact that in all Early Neolithic flint chipped stone
