Summary/Abstract: The northern part of Muntenia, southern Moldavia and south-eastern Transylvania are the setting of development of the Monteoru Culture. At the same time, southward, in Muntenia, there are discoveries that can be related to the Tei cultural milieu but also some elements that are rather connected to the north-western-Pontic area. Several unpublished finds, as well as older discoveries that can be reassessed, bring under examination a series of events occurring in southern Romania simultaneously with the development of the Monteoru culture. We are considering several funerary finds from the central-northern area of Muntenia and also heading towards the Bărăgan Plain. We are classifying funerary behaviors, keeping in mind the relative chronology, but also using some radiocarbon dates to delineate the absolute chronology.
