The authors provide the first report of a Middle Palaeolithic assemblage from Romania. data suggest short-lived occupation and intriguing evidence use ochre.
Long‐distance raw material transfers across Romania prior to the Last Glacial Maximum have previously been inferred from either visual and/or petrographic observations of East Carpathian sites. We investigated potential ‘fingerprint’ flint archaeological sites at Mitoc‐Malu Galben and Bistricioara–Lutărie III in Eastern Romania, using situ high‐precision analyses 28 major, minor trace elements determined by laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) combination...
Abundantly preserved in the prehistoric archaeological record, lithic tools enjoyed a preferential focus aimed at understanding Palaeolithic cultural and adaptive variability.However, approaches to variability are often framed contrasting theoretical methodological moulds, with (predominantly analytic) Anglo-American (preferentially synthetic) French research traditions viewed as providing paradigmatic examples of mutually incompatible perspectives.By stressing strong points each tradition,...
The Poiana Cireşului Upper Paleolithic site is located on the erosion level cut into flysch strata, roughly equivalent in altitude to middle (45 m) Bistriţa's terrace, right shore of river, 4 km N-W from city Piatra-Neamţ (North-Eastern Romania).The systematic excavations are currently carried out by an international Romanian, German and French team.The paper focuses recent results obtained during last stage research (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) campaigns.The displays one...

The paper critically reviews the basic theoretical premises that lead current practice of Romanian Paleolithic archaeology.The author emphasizes that, while background entire prehistoric archaeology in Romania belongs to humanities, seems rather close paleontology and geology.This conflicting attitudes stem from dominant culture-history paradigm core, which excessively stresses unity human condition normative content behavior.These uniformitarian view leaves a little room for actual cultural...
