Halmeu - Vamă
de aprox. 2 ha. Raportându-ne la cele două nivele de locuire, sistemul de fortificaţie corespunde celui de-al doilea nivel. Sistemul de fortificaţie a fost surprins prin cercetări arheologice în trei puncte fiind prioritar delimitarea traseului acestuia pe teritoriul românesc. Din situl neolitic de la Halmeu provin o serie de idoli care au reprezentate, prin incizii şi împunsături fine, elemente de vestimentaţie. Astfel, la unul dintre idoli, în partea superioară a corpului este reprezentată prin incizii haina, iar în zona gâtului, prin împunsături fine dispuse în formă de V, este reprezentat un colier. HALMEU - VAMĂ The Neolithic site of Halmeu-Vamă is located in the northern part of the Halmeu village, on the Romanian-Ukrainian border area, on the terrace of the Egher brook (Egherul Mare), a marshy region in ancient times. The prehistoric communities show a propensity for placing settlements on river courses, on positive forms like small heights that look like small hills that dominate the overall land area, building islands not liable to flooding or only temporarily floodable. In fact, the entire surface of the site of Halmeu has a level of alluvial deposition dating from the period after the Bronze Age. The site was discovered when rescue excavations were being carried out in the year 2000. On that occasion, a surface research was carried out in the areas nearby and pottery materials dating from different periods were discovered (Neolithic, Bronze Age, Middle Ages) and covered the entire terrace of the Eger brook. In this context, in the fall of 2001, a survey was conducted to check the Király - Domb / Dâmbul Craiului site that was located on the margin of the terrace. The survey confirmed that the Neolithic settlement extended from Vamă to this point. This point comprised two small hills (Király Domb I and II) roughly equal in size, with oval surfaces and a maximum diameter of76.40 x 55 m„ without counting in the surrounding ditch. Mounds are surrounded by ditches that were dug in order to drain water from the edge of the meadow, but given that they match perfectly with the area of the mounds it is possible they have been dug on the path of older ditches. The observations made during the archaeological research come to support this hypothesis. Idol antropomorf Anthropomorphic figurine Антропоморфний ідол
