A 9,000-year-old Mesolithic settlement on the bank of the River Danube.

A 9,000-year-old Mesolithic settlement on the bank of the River Danube. Schela Cladovei is one of the most important Mesolithic–Neolithic sites in Southeast Europe. It belongs to a group of Stone Age settlements that were discovered ahead of dam construction in the Iron Gates section of the Danube valley in the second half of the twentieth century. It is arguably the only one of these settlements to escape flooding when the river was impounded, although the rise in the river level has led to extensive erosion of the site.

The 1965-1968 excavations at Schela Cladovei (Romania) revisited [2013] by Clive Bonsall and Adina Boroneanț

Schela Cladovei is one of the most important Mesolithic–Neolithic sites in Southeast Europe. It belongs to a group of Stone Age settlements that were discovered ahead of dam construction in the Iron Gates section of the Danube valley in the second half of the twentieth century. It is arguably the only one of these settlements to escape flooding when the river was impounded, although the rise in the river level has led to extensive erosion of the site.

However, like most of the sites investigated, published accounts of the excavations at Schela Cladovei are sparse and lacking in detail. In this paper we review the results of the first three seasons of excavation at Schela Cladovei, conducted by Vasile Boroneanț between 1965 and 1968. Our account places emphasis on the burial remains and is based largely on the original field notes, plans and photographs of the excavations. In some respects, our interpretations differ from those that have been published previously.

Archaeologists Discover Mesolithic Human Traces in South-Western Romania by Andy B on Monday, 16 February 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
7 July 2009: The Schela Cladovei archaeological site was first excavated in the 1960s by Professor Vasile Boroneanţ. Between 1992 and 1996, Professor Clive Bonsall from the University of Edinburgh conducted excavations at the site in partnership with Boroneanţ. According to information published on the website of the university’s School of History, Classics and Archaeology, by “employing strict sampling and recovery techniques, the excavations have provided better information on the economies of the two periods of occupation, and added substantially to our knowledge of architecture, burial practices and technology.”

“This part of Romania is highly important for understanding the crucial transition from the formation of human groups, and from hunting to farming, that occurred 8,000 years ago,” Bonsall said.
