Structurile de habitat ale tracilor septentrionali – potenţial şi realităţi de atribuire cultural-cronologică
Habitat Structures of septentrional Thracians – cultural and chronological potential and realities

Summary/Abstract: Habitat structures have a special place in the attribution of cultural-chronological archaeological objectives – espe- cially for septentrional Thracians. In the case of identifying objects, it is important to determine elements that are to do with previous cultural traditions, as well as evidencing the appearance of new elements in the context of material culture. The cultures of Early and Middle Hallstatt are not relevant in this aspect, as they have no contribution to the creation of the Thraco Dacian. The only thing remaining is the evidence of a possible tradition of the Basarabi-Şoldăneşti culture. When it comes to the placement of sites, they are different: in the previous era the lower places were more dominant, within the bays of rivers; we also notice the appearance of new structures – forts which are practically missing in the previous cultures. Although most of the structures can be found in previous cultures, new structures that are different begin to appear – stone buildings, and within those - porches. Within settlements the delimitations between households are now clear, there is also pavement of some streets. The Greek structure of the latter is assumed. In the lack of certain indicators, the totality of characteristics for structures (type, plan, facing) cannot be used to determine the cultural and chronological differences of the era.
