Abstract
The archaeological investigations concerning the Bronze Age within
the area of the Middle and Lower Danube demonstrated the existence of an
ethnical-cultural complex characterized through a series of common
elements that suggest the relationship among the different ethnical-cultural
manifestations within this area. The main common denominator is the
ceramics whose ornamentation consists in motifs executed through
printing, incision, notches and successive stitches. The motifs were inlayed
with white substance. The funerary common ritual, respectively the
cremation, the anthropomorphical statues, the bird-shaped representations
and the clay little bells suggest similar religious beliefs.
