Tokens of time: on anthropological periodization of the Cucuteni-Tripolye culture

Summary/Abstract: The article presents an attempt to develop the periodization of the Cucuteni-Tripolye culture in terms of cultural anthropology. The scheme is based on common consideration of different manifestations of material culture and related social and historic-cultural phenomena. It is built along three separate but interrelated lines. The first line embraces the most significant material symbols of each phase. The second line exemplifies the nature of social leadership on different stages of cultural development and corresponds to material symbols. The third line reflects main phenomena, events or processes which took place in different periods.
