This article present the discovery of 25 polished and perforated ovicaprid astragals in a burned house from the Copper Age Gumelniţa settlement at Iepureşti, Southern Romania. They were analyzed from the point of view of their processing, of the taphonomic processes that affected them (burning), and of their spatial distribution. The discovery of this group of astragals were also analyzed in a larger context of more or less similar discoveries made mainly in the extra-Carpathian territory, but also South of the Danube, in Bulgaria. |
