Summary/Abstract: During the 1998 campaign of archeological researches, a sedimentological sondage was performed, in order to study the stratigraphical relations between the cultural levels Gumelniţa and the natural deposits. The sedimentological sondage was performed in the western extremity of the site (coming from the Neajlov river), at a depth between 1.01 and 3.75 meters from the reference point established at the upper part of the tell. The succession of the sedimentary units studied on the eastern profile of this sondage consists, fundamentally, in two occupational levels separated by an alluvial accumulation, pedogenetically transformed (enriched with carbonate components).
