Câteva consideraţii asupra ceramicii eneolitice de la Largu (jud. Buzău)
Several Remarks on the Eneolithic Pottery from Largu (Buzău County)

Summary/Abstract: During the last 50 years several research expeditions were conducted along the Călmăţui River pointing out the vast number of places bearing traces of the prehistoric inhabitants. Intrusive researches were carried out so far in 15 settlements (13 in the second half of the 20th century, two in the last two years), some with extraordinary results. Part of the discoveries have been published in the form of excavation reports, some have remained unknown.The artefacts presented here are the result of the 1957 survey made by I. T. Dragomir in the Chalcolithic settlement from Largu. A 30 x 2 metres trench was executed during this survey, in order to observe the stratigraphic sequence. Few Chalcolithic features were revealed during the excavation of the 1-1.20 m archaeological deposit. The results of the survey were briefly published.The current paper presents the main typological characteristics of the ceramic inventory unearthed in 1957. The ceramic assemblage is rather small (compared with similar Chalcolithic settlements) and the degree of fragmentation is high (usually one shard per vessel). The pottery types that have been identified bear good analogies both south of the Calmăţui valley (in the Gumelniţa cultural environment) and north of it (in the Precucuteni and Cucuteni environments).
