SETTLEMENTS AND BUILDINGS OF EARLY BRONZE AGE ON THE TERRITORY OF ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: The present research will refer only to the first period of Bronze Age, that is different from Middle Bronze and Late Bronze, because reminiscences of the previous Neolithic Age (Eneolithic) are still present, but the new period comes with important transformations already recorded in the habitat of human beings. The settlements and homes of the Early Bronze Age reflect he general state of insecurity which was caused by the coming of the nomad pastoral communities from the North Pontic steppes: they are small, seasonal, fortifications are rare now, but regarding religious constructions, the funerary monument appears, having the shape of tumulus of the chieftain, being collective or individual, which proves the emphasis on social hierarchy. We will record the specificity of settlements and buildings of each culture of Early Bronze Age on the territory of our country, in their evolution towards the next phase – of Middle Bronze Age.
