Cercetări arheologice şi artefacte din materii dure animale în aşezarea de la Negrileşti, jud. Galaţi (2015)

  • Subiect: „Archaeological research and osseous raw materials artefacts discovered in the Negrileşti comm., Galaţi County – Curtea Şcolii (Schoolyard) site (2015). The article presents the data issued from the analysis regarding a collection comprising 6 artefacts made of osseous raw materials (bone and red deer antler). These all belong to Noua culture – Late Bronze Age. The artefacts were recovered during the 2015 excavation campaign in the site. The typological distribution of the assemblage was presented according to Beldiman 2007 Typology: I. Tools (double bone awl, bone endscraper, notched scapula, antler axe-hammer); IV Handles (Bone handle); V Varia (Bone skate). As concerns the raw materials used, the assemblage comprises pieces made from undetermined mammal (N = 1), cattle long bones (N = 4); red deer antler (N = 1). The analysis of the artefacts discovered during 2015 archaeological campaign used a series of optical means of study (optic microscope, zoom x10 – x40; digital microscope, zoom x10 – x400); complete sets of photos (microscopic, inclusive) at various scales were taken. All the pieces parameters were taken and this allowed the initiation of a database containing osseous materials industry from NGS. Our approach facilitated the highlight of some characteristic elements of the technological environment in which the artefacts were used (and probably, manufactured, too). The pieces were manufactured by applying the following procedures: chipping, fracturing, notching, abrasion, perforation by rotation. The use of notched scapulas as tools (scrapers) for hide processing is again documented in the site. A special attention was drawn by the awl with bone handle and bronze point preserved in situ, a rare discovery in the field. The hypothesis regarding the practice of routine household activities like osseous materials artefacts manufacture (bone) can also be stated. The typological analysis of osseous materials artefacts discovered at Negrileşti – „Curtea Şcolii” in 2015 allowed us to: mention some benchmarks regarding the typology of osseous materials artefacts dated from Noua culture from Southern Moldova; identify some household activities practiced in the site and which were illustrated by specific artefacts related to osseous materials industry, hides/vegetal and animal fibres manufacture etc.; the systematic processing of some hard animal raw materials as bone and red deer antler. The studied assemblage offers new typological, palaeo-technological and chrono-cultural markers important for a complex and extensive approach of Late Bronze Age manifestations from the Southern part of Moldova.”
