Considerations regarding a Noua Culture tomb discovered
near Valea Viilor, jud. Sibiu (abstract)
Adrian Georgescu, Andrei Gonciar, Ovidiu Calborean (Sibiu - Romania)
In early
autumn 2004, near Valea Viilor (jud. Sibiu), several bones, possibly
human, have been found about 2,4 km West-Northwest from the village,
in the immediate vicinity of the river Vorumloc. The deposit was situated
approximately 4,5 m above road level, in a terrace profile, resulting
from a recent landslide. The excavation of the deposit led to the discovery of a human skeleton, placed in a fetal position on his left side. The artifacts present in the burial were a cup with a handle – mostly destroyed – placed behind the head, at neck level, and a larger vase, “cantharos” type, with two raised handles with buttons in the hands. The position of the body, in conjunction with the ceramic material, allows us to date the burial in the 2nd faze of the Noua Culture. |
