Arheologie

The most frequent ornamental elements are the half-moon like, rhombic or oval impressions organized in two or three lines (Plate 2/2-3, 5; 4/2-6; 7/2-3, 5; 8/2-6), belonging to the La-Roman1 type. A variant of the ornament, the L-Roman type consists in vertically organized lines (Plate 4/1; 5/1-2; 8/1; 9/1). This ornament for Transylvania was dated in all three periods of the culture, in the Eastern regions being present only in the first phase. Analogies are known from Ca§olt-Poiana in Pise2, Petre§ti, Bratei-Ms/pär/'e, Leliceni-Mun/e/e de piaträ, Leliceni-Locul OpriF, Cefa and Bernadea4, Sibiu5, §ibot-La Telini or Cugir-Piatra Ple§if.

The Af-Roman type motive of the “deepened triangles” alternated with oblique incised lines appears with (Plate 2/2; 7/2) or without impressions (Plate 3). In Central Transylvania, the decoration is specific to all the periods of the culture. Analogies can be mentioned at Leliceni-Muntele de piaträ, Petre§ti7, Gornea and Herculane-Pe§fera hotiloF.

An ornament largely used for the decoration of pottery from the presented site is the Fa-Roman9 type “trestle” motive done by wide, oblique incised lines organized in vertical rows (Plate 2/3, 5; 4/9; 5/5, 7-8, 10-12; 6/2; 7/3, 5; 8/9; 9/4, 6-7, 9-11). It is specific to the first period for Central and Eastern Transylvania as well. Analogies can be found at §ibot-La Telini0, Vinerea-Täbäri§te, Mice§ti11, Leliceni-Muntele de piaträ, Petre§ti, Bodo12, or Turia, Malna§-Bäi- Platoul Nisipos, Zo\iar\-Urcu§, Reci-Te/e/f, Päuleni-Ciuc-Dämbu/ cetätii and Arcu§-§antul militarului3.

Impressed circles in horizontal line, together with incisions appear on the rim of a Ma1-Roman14 type large pot (Plate 2/5; 7/5). Although this motive in Central Transylvania was considered specific to the second and third phases15 in sites like Mice§ti16 or Vinerea-Täbäri§teu as well as in Eastern Transylvania at Tuna-Cimitirul romano-catolicw or Malna§ Bái-Platóul nisipos19 they are present beginning with the first period. Other analogies can be mentioned, like the ones from Cugir-P/'afra Ple§ii or §ibot-La TelinF0.

Unorganized incised lines of С-Roman type can be observed on three potsherds (Plate 5/3, 6, 9; 9/2, 5, 8). These are frequent in all three periods.
