Art mobilier au Paléolithique supérieur en Moldavie (Roumanie)

  • TITLU în română: Arta mobiliară din Paleoliticul Superior în Moldova (România)
  • Subiect: Recent approaches on ancient artefacts collections and very recent discoveries enable a detailed discussion (repertory, typology, technology, radiocarbon dates etc.) on the relative rare evidence of portable art – adornment, decorated and so called non utilitarian objects – in the Romanian Upper Palaeolithic (Eastern Gravettian, about 23-13 kya BP), in the regions placed between the Eastern Carpathians Mountains and the Prut river (Romanian Moldavia). The 29 artefacts were discovered in 6 open air sites and in a cave site. The types identified are: bâtons percés worked in horse long bone and in roe-deer antler; lithic and bone pendants; disk in roe-deer antler; perforated teeth; lithic objects in quartzite and graphite as well as bone and antler pieces having linear engraved decoration or notches; decorated roe-deer antler harpoon: ivory mammoth tusk fragment; fossil molluscs of Congeria? species; perforated snails of Succinea oblonga? species. Most of the artefacts are of significant importance for the phenomenon of art and of prehistoric technology in these regions; in this point of view we have to mention the pendants discovered at Mitoc, Botoşani County, and the fragment of bone discovered in 1998 with the engraved image of an animal’s foot from Piatra-Neamţ, Neamţ County. Another exceptional artefact is the fragment of mammoth tusk from Lespezi, Bacău County, dated at around 18 kya showing the débitage traces on the proximal part that prove the using of notching and grooving technique and probably of transverse sawing with fibre; this should be the oldest situation of use of such a technique solution in this part of Europe. Taking into account the extreme rarity of ivory artefacts in the Upper Paleolithic of Romania it is probably that the provenance of the objects can be found in the near territories of Central and Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Ukraine, Republic of Moldavia, Russia) where the manufacture and use of such artefacts was common in that epoch. The study contributes essentially to the definition in actual terms of typology and technology of oldest portable art objects from a particular region of Romania as material expression of first spiritual manifestations of hunter-gatherer communities and allowed to integrate the data of the phenomenon in the South-East and Central European context.
