Abstract

Archaeological excavations carried out at Sudiţi (Buzău County, Romania) some decades ago unearthed several Linear Pottery culture features which were subsequently interpreted and used by various researchers in an attempt to explain the origin of Chalcolithic cultures (such as Boian). The poorly published findings generated conflicting or arguable theories. Even if it is not the only discovery of its kind, the Neolithic feature from Sudiţi is the most complex one from Wallachia. Until new, accurate field research is undertaken, this old discovery is still appropriate for further discussion, offering some valid points regarding the relation between the local culture and Linear Pottery at the turn of the fifth millennium.
