Cucuteni-Tripolye culture

Метою цієї статті є огляд подій та досліджень, пов’язаних із вивченням трипільської культури, які мали місце у період, починаючи із виходу двотомної «Енциклопедії трипільської цивілізації» (далі — Енциклопедія) восени 2004 року до початку
2012 р. Зараз можна сказати, що ці вісім років були часом цікавих досягнень, неочікуваних результатів і надій, які не завжди справджувалися. Спробуємо скласти їх ретроспективу: організаційні заходи, наукові форуми, підготовка кадрів, польові дослідження, видання тощо. Для повноти картини спробуємо розглянути їх усі, нехай подекуди і у скороченому вигляді

Smirnova G.I., Vakhtina M.Ju., Kashuba M.T., Starkova E.G. (With the Supplements by Kalinina K.B., Zakościelna А., Kerschner М. and Mommsen H., Khavrin S.V.) Nemirov Hill Fort on South Bug River. According the excavation materials of the 20th century from collections of the State Hermitage Museum and documents kept in IHMC RAS. St. Petersburg: The State Hermitage Museum; Institute for the History of Material Culture RAS; Neva Book Printing House, 2018. 336 p.
The collective monograph is devoted to the famous archaeological site – Nemirov hill-fort on South Bug. At the basis of investigation are the materials from the excavations of the settlement in the 20th century kept in Scientifc Archive of the Institute for the History of Material Culture RAS, Archive and collection funds of the Department of Archaeology of Eastern Europe and Siberia of the State Hermitage Museum (Saint Petersburg). The book reviews the history of the excavation of the site by S.S. Gamchenko (1909), A.A. Spitzyn (1910), and M.I. Artamonov (1946–1948). The book gives a detailed account of two periods of the occupation of the settlement: in Eneolithic time (Trypillia culture) and Early Iron Age (Scythian culture). The authors showed the signifcance of the hill-fort in the Early Iron Age, when two impulses reflected in its culture ― Hallstatt (in the broad meaning of the term) and early contacts with the Greeks. The general scheme of development of the material culture of the hill-fort in different historical periods ― from Eneolithic time till modern epoch ― has been suggested. The book consists of the six parts and nine supplements, which include the catalogues
of individual fnds of Trypillia culture, Greek Archaic pottery and the results of natural-scientifc analyses of Trypillia pottery, East-Greek pottery and of the surface of the bronze mirror handle. A lot of archive materials and fnds kept in collections are published for the frst time. The book is destined to archaeologists, historians, specialists in related sciences, students and all interested in archaeology and history of the ancient Northern Black Sea and Europe.

J. Müller/R. Hofmann/M. Shatilo, Tripolye Mega-Sites: “Collective Computational Abilities” of Prehistoric Proto-Urban Societies? Journal of Social Computing 3, 1, 2022, 75-90, doi: 10.23919/JSC.2021.0034.

In the East European region between Prut and Dnieper, proto-urban mega-sites developed ca. 4100−3600 BCE with population agglomerations of around 10000 inhabitants per site. An outline of complexity categories, based on P. Turchin et al. (2018), illustrates that "computational abilities" are first developed to make the shift from dispersed to agglomerated settlement patterns. The development of an internal decision-making system for a polity that organizes communication via public buildings on different levels, together with a site-specific track system, may be responsible for this shift (or made it possible). However, after generations, this communication pattern was not developed into further collective communication abilities (e. g., into a writing system), while at the same time a tendency toward centralizing decision processes probably destroyed the communication flow. This ultimately led to the collapse of Tripolye mega-sites.

Fully deserved, this anniversary volume is dedicated to Mrs. Cornelia-Magda Lazarovici, who has devoted her entire career to the study of Prehistory in Romania and Southeastern Europe, succeeding, through remarkable contributions, to place her name among the well-known representatives of this field of Romanian and European archeology. The name of Cornelia-Magda Lazarovici is today a reference for those who are addressing major themes such as the chronology and evolution of the Cucuteni culture, the symbolism of various pieces of plastic art, the forms and the decoration of ceramics, the everyday life of that period, illustrated by household implements or architectural accomplishments. Some biographical data are essential for understanding the stages of Cornelia-Magda Lazarovici's intellectual and scientific development. Cornelia-Magda Istrati was born on 1 March 1953, in the old and always young Iași, the center of spirituality and Romanian culture. He grew up in a family environment favorable to the development of interest in humanities, his father being a remarkable scholar of the documents from the beginning of the modern age, with numerous and valuable specialized publications. Both parents, Maria and Corneliu Istrati, came from families with many children, so that even though she was her parents' single child, Magda grew up with numerous cousins, in a community characterized by warm and lasting relationships. After the primary and secondary studies in her hometown, she followed, in 1972-1976, at Alma Mater Iassiensis, the courses of the History Department of the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the oldest University in Romania, bearing the name of its founder, the prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza-the maker of modern Romania. After graduating, she worked for a few years (1976-1980) in Vaslui, initially as a museographer with the County Museum (1976-1977), then as head of the County Cultural Heritage Office (1977-1980). During this period, she carried out excavations in several paleolithic sites in Vaslui (Măluşteni IV, Oțetoaia) and Botoşani (Mitoc-Valea lui Stan) counties, research whose results were utilized in scientific publications. At the same time, she is carrying out research on Neolithic sites, in Măluşteni-Via Schineni (Starčevo-Criş) and Poieneşti (Starčevo-Criş and Cucuteni cultures)-alone or as a member of archaeology research teams. Țurcanu), which reviews the essential data on Cucuteni civilization, in the form of an album with representative sites and pieces. She has also been involved in many other projects, being a team-member of research projects funded by the National Scientific Research Council. Among these, we mention "Geoscientific view of ceramic technology: evolution from Neolithic to Byzantine times within Romanian territory" (2012-2014, Project manager Corina Ionescu) and "The Ethnoarchaeology of Salt in the Inner Carpathian Area of Romania" (2017-2019, Project manager Marius Alexianu). One of the extremely ambitious, yet unfinished projects, on which Magda Lazarovici is involved with the scientific coordination team, is the Encyclopedia of Cucuteni-Trypillia Civilization, which will systematize relevant information throughout the area of the famous painted pottery civilization. Another project-organized together with Lăcrămioara Stratulat-still in its early stage, involves the investigation of a Cucutenian settlement together with specialists from the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, given that there is a Neolithic culture in this country with a painted ceramics similar to the Cucuteni type. Along with the monographic work on prehistoric settlements in Poieneşti (published in 2015 together with Mircea Babeş), Magda Lazarovici has two other great works in preparation. One presents the results of the research carried out in the caves of Cheile Turzii area, and the second is the monograph of the Cucutenian settlement in Scânteia. Plenty could be said about the life and activity of Magda Lazarovici, about her projects! However, we would stop here! Magda shall certainly continue! On her anniversary day, we wish her, together with all our friends, colleagues and collaborators, health, strength to work and best results, to the measure of her tenaciousness and her dedication to Archeology! Happy birthday, dear Magda!
