Cercetările arheologice de la Giurtelecu Şimleului – „Coasta lui Damian” (III). Descoperirile culturii Coţofeni

  • Subiect: The present paper brings to the attention of archaeologists interested in the study of Coţofeni culture the recent discoveries of this culture from Giurtelecu Şimleului, „Coasta lui Damian” hill, which was investigated in 1998-1999. Three pits (Pl. III) and a dwelling (Pl. II/3) belong to Coţogeni culture bearers. Their inventory consists in ceramics (unbroken and fragments), tools made from horn, stone, bone and clay and the pits have in common the presence of a grinder made from local rock. By the analyses of ceramic material discovered, the Coţofeni site from Giurtelecu Şimleului „Coasta lui Damian” hill can be dated to the final period of this culture evolution, with the specification, that dwelling can be a little bit more recent than the evolution of Coţofeni culture, in a post-Coţofeni stage, still insufficiently known in northern Transylvania. Until now, in Sălaj county we have information about 62 sites belonging to Coţofeni culture, from the 1st to the 3rd phase. Only few sites were investigated by archaeological excavations (Giurtelecu Şimleului „Coasta lui Damian”, Hereclean „Dâmbul Iazului”, Pericei „Keller-tag”, Zalău „I.S.C.I.P. – Baza DROMET”, Moigrad „Măgura Moigradului”, Porţ „Corău”) – systematic or rescue excavations. Discoveries with funeral character come from Hereclean (a cremation grave in pit) and a cremation grave under a tumulus from Domnin. The both cases are problematic, because the osteological analyses are missing.
