NEW TECHNOLOGICAL AND STATISTICAL DATA ON THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION FROM THE EARLY NEOLITHIC TO THE DEVELOPED IN THE MUREȘ VALLEY

Abstract

The archaeological rescue excavations occasioned by the construction of the Lot no. 1 of the Highway no. 10, Sebeș-Turda, highlighted new data about the spatial distribution of the Neolithic settlements from Limba-Oarda de Jos (Alba county), which evolved on the high terrace of the Mureș River, as well as housing structures, containing ceramic materials whose technological and statistical analysis provided new information on the complex processes specific to the final phases of the Early Neolithic and the transition to the Developed Neolithic. The study below is also in this direction which addresses the analysis of the ceramic material offered by feature Cpx. 584 (most probably a pit-house), investigated in March 2017, in Zone 3 sector B3.
