Lazarovici M Chronology Precucuteni Cucuteni Horodistea
Lazarovici M Chronology Precucuteni Cucuteni Horodistea
he chronology of prehistoric civilizations in Romania is even today a very important subject, because of
the cultural diversity, the great number of cultures, local groups or regional aspects, many of which are
not always very well dierentiated or argued in a plausible manner. New discoveries constantly bring new
material that has to be interpreted and the old one need to be reconsidered in some cases. Unfortunately,
the last twenty years show that there is no coherence in planning the excavations or investigating specically
those phases, or stages of the cultures, which are not very well known. Rescue excavations are currently on
the rst plan, omitting any organization of planned and targeted excavations. In a few cases at least some
money for radiocarbon dating was obtained.
he radiocarbon evidence
To start with, we have to emphasise the fact that there is no functional radiocarbon laboratory in Romania
so far. Just recently, eorts to establish such a laboratory started at the Iai University. In this situation, all
the dating is at the moment related, just as in the past, to eorts of individual colleagues and their contacts
with institutes and universities around Europe.
In this paper we intent to present the state of art of the dating of the Precucuteni, Cucuteni and
Horoditea-Erbiceni cultures, latter called Gordineti in Bessarabia, all being part of the Cucuteni-Tripolye
cultural complex. One has to remember that Tripolye culture consists of the phases A, B, C, that roughly
correspond with the three mentioned civilizations on the Romanian territory. he sites in Bessarabia were
originally ascribed by the discoverers to the Tripolye culture but many authors believe in the meantime
that through ceramic features they are much more related to Precucuteni-Cucuteni areas. herefore the
radiocarbon data from this area were analyzed together with the Romanian data (Table 1).
A complex analysis of these dates, involving radiometric results (radiocarbon, archaeomagnetism) as well as
relative chronological data was published in 1998 (Mantu 1998). Our colleagues, Cosmin Suciu and Sabin
Adrian Luca from Lucian Blaga Sibiu University, have organized a database of radiocarbon data, in which
the new radiocarbon information was included (Tables 1, 2). Most of the older radiocarbon dates (Mantu
1998), as well as the new one, were obtained from the following laboratories: Heidelberg thanks to Dr. B.
Kromer and through the kindness and nancial support of Prof. Dr. H. Hauptmann, Gliwice thanks to
Dr. A. Pazdur, Louvain, due to Dr. M. Otte, and in Berlin through the kindness of Dr. N. Boroka. Our
thanks for supporting these datings go to all mentioned colleagues.
For the three civilizations, Precucuteni, Cucuteni and Horoditea-Erbiceni/Gordineti there is 83 data (Fig.
17), eight of them having an error of over 100 years, reason enough not to use it anymore (Table 1). Dierent
materials were used for the dating purposes, including animal bones, human bones, charcoal and cereals. Some
data reects also the accuracy of the laboratory and the quality of the sample chosen for dating.
72
73
For the Tripolye civilization, the situation is dierent. Here, there is more than 165 data available, including
eight with the same problem of an error of over 100 years. From the chronological point of view they
belong to the following phases (Table 2): Tripolye AII 1-2 = Precucuteni II = 7 data; Tripolye A III 1-2 =
Precucuteni III = 9 data; Tripolye A III3 = Cucuteni A1-A2 = 13 data; Tripolye A unspecied = 2 data;
Tripolye B I = Cucuteni A3 = 10 data; Tripolye B I-B II = Cucuteni A-B = 18 data; Tripolye C I = Cucuteni
B = 38 data; Transition between CI-C II = 2 data; Tripolye C II = Horoditea-Erbiceni/Gordineti =
59 data; Tripolye unspecied = 7 data. Many of these datings (132) were obtained from the radiocarbon
laboratory in Kiev. he materials used for dating include bones, cereals, charcoal, as well as organic materials
from the ceramic (Kovalyukh et al. 2007).
Returning to our short analysis of the Carpatho-Dniestrian area, we see that there is only seven
radiocarbon data for Precucuteni (Table 1), six of them for Precucuteni III. Based on this, but also on the
74
relative chronology, our assumption eas that the Precucuteni culture evolved between ca. 50504600 calBC
(phase I-II: 50504750 calBC; phase III: 47504600 calBC).
Equally, the 70 radiocarbon data for Cucuteni culture does not cover evenly all the phases (Table 1):
Cucuteni A = 44 data [A1 = 2; A2 = 22; A2-A3= 9; A3 = 12; A4 = 6]; A-B = 7; B = 19. Based on this data,
we have estimated that Cucuteni evolved between 46003600/3500 calBC followinglys: phase A, 4600
4100/4050 calBC (A1: 46004550 calBC; A2: 45504170 calBC; A3: 43504150 calBC; A4: 43004050
calBC); phase A-B, 41003800 calBC; phase B, 38003600/3500 calBC (Mantu 1998). For HoroditeaErbiceni/Gordineti there is six data that proves evolution between 35003150 calBC (Mantu 1998, 183).
In this presentation we have used OxCal v.3.9 Bronk Ramsey 2003, that does not very much change
the estimations published previously (Mantu 1998, Tab. 7) Calibration of the data proves once more the
superposition of some of the phases. his might be related to the real evolution, but we also do not exclude a
too general cultural attribution of the sites. herefore, for the future, a more detailed analysis of the pottery
will be necessary, which is impossible now, since the archaeological material was not fully published yet in
75
76
77
78
too many cases. A more thorough investigation of the selected sites clarifying those phases and stages not
represented enough until now (Precucuteni I, II, Cucuteni A-B1, A-B2, B1, B2, Horoditea-Erbiceni/
Gordineti) is also necessary. It is also necessary to use statistical analysis, to decipher the feature of every
complex or site and to make comparison between those related in time.
Relationships with other contemporary civilizations
We will now shortly present some new information regarding relationships with other contemporary
civilizations (Fig. 810). New archaeological research in Transylvania, as well as the re-evaluation of the
older ones, has proven that in the south-eastern part of this area, there are only Precucuteni I sites (Ciuc
Sngiorz, Eresteghin, Le); later on in the same area there are sites related with the Ariud group of the
Cucuteni culture (especially stages Cucuteni A1 and A2). We assume that the appearance of Ariud may
be related to a southern impulse here, similar to the one that determine the Petreti culture (Foeni group;
Lazarovici C.-M. - Lazarovici Gh. 2006, 544 with further bibliography; 2007, 2838).
79
Precucuteni I imports have been discovered in several sites of the Turda culture (Turda, Lumea Nou,
Pianul de Jos, Caol, Cauce) and of the Zau culture (the former cultural complex CCTLNIS, CCTLNZIS;
Gh. Lazarovici 2009), in its phases III-IV (Iclod, aga, Fundtura, Zau); Precucuteni imports have also
been discovered in Foeni complexes at Lumea Nou. he Foeni-group is assumed to be of southern origin,
related with Dimini, and it marks the start of the Petreti culture (Draovean 2004). Radiocarbon dates of
this group in Transylvania are at 46504500 calBC (Gligor M. 2007a; 2007b). Precucuteni II-III imports
have been attested in Petreti AB sites. Based on Turda discoveries, Precucuteni I is contemporary with the
early and middle Turda strata (Luca 1997; 2001a; 2001b; Luca et al. 2004).
New archaeological research in Moldova in the Precucuteni sites at Poduri-Dealul Ghindaru and
Isaiia-Balta Popii, indicate again a very strong relationship with southern areas, through Gumelnia. hese
relationships were proven by various sorts of pots (Fig. 1112) (Poduri: Monah et al. 2003, 159, 169; Isaiia,
askos: Ursulescu Tencariu 2006, 51, g. 14/3), anthropomorphic pots (Ursulescu Tencariu 2006, 33, g. 8/4,
pl. IX, 6), but also related to the appearance of sanctuaries (Trgu Frumos-Baza Ptule: Ursulescu et al. 2003)
and cult complexes (Poduri, Isaiia, with analogies at Sabatinovka, Ovarovo and respectively in Greece,
unknown origin: Idole 1985, 66).
New archaeological discoveries of the Cucuteni culture suggest strong relationships with the south,
namely with Gumelnia (Fig. 1328) (Maxim-Alaiba 1983-1984, 111, g. 26/1, 27/1; Boghian 1997, g. 1,
4, 6; Monah et al. 2003, 159, 169; Lazarovici 2008, g. 2/3-4), but also with Transylvania (Fig. 29, 3133)
(Mantu urcanu 1999, 92, nr. 141; O lume regsit 2001, 12; Bem 2007). New materials considered as
related to the Sredni Stog area (Skelanska culture: Rassamakin 2004, 216), named Cucuteni C ware, have
been published for several sites (Scnteia: Mantu urcanu 1999; Trueti: Petrescu-Dmbovia et al. 1999;
Cucuteni-Cetuia: Alaiba 2004; Alaiba Grdinaru 2001; Alaiba Vleanu 2001; Marinescu-Blcu Bolomey
2000, 104108, 126127), but the most spectacular are those from the Cucuteni B phaseinuenced by the
Cucuteni plastic art (Fig. 36). Relationships with the northern area, respectively with Trichterbecher culture,
are especially proven by older excavations (Fig. 3435), very few Cucuteni B-sites are investigated today.
To conclude with, the archaeological material from older or newer excavations, published in the past years
prove that the Precucuteni, Cucuteni and Horoditea-Erbiceni/Gordineti cultures had relationships with
most of all neighboring cultures. Relationships with the south, the west (Transylvania) and the east seem
to be stronger, when compared with the northern ones. With regards to the Cucuteni C ware we have to
note that some archaeologists believe that this sort of pottery might have been made also in the Cucuteni
communities (Marinescu-Blcu 1983, 126, note 45), under the inuence of the eastern communities. he
geo-archaeological analysis of the pottery will surely solve the problem in the future.
