Description
Ariuşd (Erősd)-Tyiszk-hegy is a multi-layered (tell) settlement of the Copper Age, eponym site of the Ariuşd Group, the South-Western branch of the Cucuteni-Tripolye cultural complex. The investigation of lithic material from the site (including a number of 778 lithics) was recently started by the authors. Following the first results (Sztáncsuj et al. 2014), petrographical and geochemical study of the lithic artefacts was continued in the framework of the CHARISMA and IPERION EU projects in the Budapest Neutron Center. 94 artefacts were subjected for analysis, provening from the sites of Ariuşd, Boroşneu Mare (Kisborosnyó)-Borzvára, Doboşeni (Székelyszáldobos)-Borvízoldal, Malnaş Băi (Málnásfürdő)-Füvenyestető and Olteni (Oltszem)-Vármege (Sztáncsuj – Biró 2016). Furthermore, the investigations included also the analysis of some comparative raw material pieces received from the Museum of the Eastern Carpathians, deposited in the Lithotheca Collection of the Hungarian National Museum.
This poster will present results of PGA analyses and petrographical thin section studies made on the Erősd material and related sites.
