Unele observaţii cu privire la vasele cucuteniene de tip kernos/ pseudo-kernos

  • Subiect: Most of the prehistoric and historic artefacts are not sufficiently known and understood within the contexts in which they were made and operated. The kernoi and pseudo-kernoi pottery is in a similar situation. In this paper we discuss and attempt to explain according to current knowledge the issue of Eneolithic vessels, especially Cucuteni pottery conventionally identified as kernoi and pseudo-kernoi. For this purpose, we have analysed several categories of findings belonging to the third phase of the Precucuteni culture (Târgu Frumos) and to all three phases of Cucuteni civilization (Truşeşti, Cuconeştii Vechi, Darabani I, Ruginoasa, Bârlăleşti, Drăguşeni, Costeşti, Hoiseşti, Hăbăşeşti, Cucuteni, Bod, Bălţaţi, Veselyi Kut, Traian, Ghelăiesti, Nezvisko, Bădragii Vechi, Rozsohyvatka, Parincea, Şipeniţ, Buznea). We distinguished several subtypes, with multiple variants: 1. with 5 cups/beakers communicating with the main body; 2. with 6 small containers attached through arms to the central body in the form of a support; 3. with 4-6 cups/beakers connected by a tubular support ring. Analogies with other findings, from the same broad and diverse category of kernoi / pseudo-kernoi vessels from Eneolithic and Bronze Age in the Middle East, Greece, Cyprus, Balkans and Central Europe and their perpetuation in Classical Antiquity, raise also the question of clarifying the naming of these artefacts, where we have opted for a different formula: so called kernoi or pseudokernoi vessels. The author shows that none of the functionalities that were advanced so far should be excluded: placement into sepulchral rites, offerings and libations pots, vessels with arms, tube ware, mixed ware (?), vessel for fermentation, vessels used in ceremonies of beverage consumption, vases, candle holders, recipients for condiments (certain vessels only) and vessels with aesthetic function only. Therefore we assume that these artefacts were used as paraphernalia in different social and cult rituals/ceremonials, perhaps as “lighting equipment” (lamps, oil lamps, candlesticks, “luxury” or daily cult rituals) or for cult fumigations.
