Art mobilier au paléolithique supérieur en Transylvanie, Roumanie

  • TITLU în română: Artă mobilieră în paleoliticul superior în Transilvania, România
  • Subiect: Recent approaches on ancient artefacts collections and relative recent discoveries enable a detailed discussion (repertory, typology, technology, radiocarbon dates etc.) on the relative rare evidence of earliest portable art - adornment, decorated objects and so called non utilitarian objects - in the Upper Palaeolithic in Transylvania, Romania (Aurignacian and Eastern Gravettian, about 30 - 13 kya BP). The artefacts were discovered in 5 cave sites. Most of the pieces (6) are attributed to the Aurignacian and 5 belong to the Eastern Gravettian. The typology is less diversified, including: a spear point in bone; 3 bâtons percés worked in wolf long bones; 7 red deer, fox, bear and wolf perforated teeth. The rare Aurignacian artefacts in Romania are five teeth modified by human intervention discovered in two caves (Cioclovina and Ohaba-Ponor). Of particular interest is the wolf canine in provenance of last site, perforated by scraping and alternative rotation on both sides of his proximal (apical) part; it seems to be the oldest perforated abject ever known in Romania. The study contributes essentially to the definition in actual terms of typology and technology of oldest adornment from Transylvania, Romania as material expression of first spiritual manifestations of hunter-gatherer communities and allowed to the data of the context.
