Considerations on the Origin of the Briquetage Vessels
Considerations on the Origin of the Briquetage Vessels

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims at proving that the briquetage vessels found in the inventory of some Cucuteni sites, near the salty springs in the Sub- Carpathian region of Moldavia, should be related to the presence of the steppe population, bearers of the Cucuteni C pottery. The argumentation is based on the analysis of the archeological contexts from Solca-Slatina Mare, Lunca-Poiana Slatinii, Cacica, Ţolici-Hălăbutoaia sites where the fragments of briquetage vessels always appear in association with the Cucuteni C pottery present in big quantities. This conclusion calls for new explanations and details regarding the relationships between the Cucuteni population and the shepherds in the north of the Black-Sea steppes.
