Ce ne spun oasele prelucrate dintr-o groapă menajeră? Cazul așezării eneolitice de la Fruntișeni (jud. Vaslui)
What tell us the processed bones from a waste pit? The case of the Eneolithic settlement from Fruntişeni (Vaslui County)

Summary/Abstract: Our study proposes to analyze a lot of osseous materials, which were transformed into tools, deriving from the Stoicani-Aldeni site of Fruntișeni (Vaslui County). Although it is quantitatively reduced and comes from a domestic waste area, our intention is to establish whether such a context may provide data that can be helpful for reconstructing the economic activities carried out within the settlement. We analyzed the types of used raw materials, the sources of their acquisition and the items’ techno-typological data. In the end we were able to conclude that the exploitation of raw materials concentrated around the activities of animal breeding and slaughtering, being also reflected by the domestic character of the assemblage’s composition. Collaterally there were also used blanks deriving from wild animals. We are dealing with an industry processed in an ad-hoc manner with minimum technological and time investments. The pieces were abandoned in the moment of their fracture, even thou they were not completely worn out and they could have been fixed/recycled.
