A few weeks ago a met a very friendly and interesting couple from Roumenië who participated in some of my excursions. On the last stop of the last excursion they made with me we sat together for a coffee and started talking about our interests in history and culture. During this conversation they showed me pictures of ceramics that look a lot like the ceramics the Minoans had made (2600 – 1400BC) I was very much amazed by the pictures but even more by the fact that these ceramics were made around 5200 – 3000BC!! in Europe!
This vase and other ceramic foundings are part of the Cucuteni or Tripolye Culture, it is a neolithic archeological culture that was found in Transylvania. The today area of North-East Roumania, Western Ukrain and Moldova.
This Culture is called the Cucuteni Culture because the first findings of it were found in the village Cucuteni in Roumenië in spring 1885 when the first excavations started after fragments of ceramic were found during road constructions.
