Between Everyday and Ritual Use – ‘Small Altars’ or ‘Cult Tables’ from ‘Măgura Buduiasca’, Teleorman County (II): the Developed Neolithic Finds
-

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to present a second group of objects, known as ‘altars’, ‘small altars’ or ‘cult tables’, items belonging to the developed Neolithic (c. 5500-5000 BC) and discovered at Măgura, Teleorman County. They are analysed as object types belonging to the three chronological sequences of Developed Neolithic, traditionally defined as cultural sequences: Early Dudeşti, Late Dudeşti and Vădastra. The discussion takes into account the context of the finds, the morphology, the possible function and analogies with similar discoveries in the neighboring area, both north and south of the Danube.
