The burned clay pot associated with the general human shape or only with some anthropomorphic features epresents a special category of vessels, certainly different from “everyday pottery”, both in terms of quantity and quality. The full understanding of these kinds of pots involves a complex analysis, based on typological-technological studies, but also on the evaluation of the archaeological contexts in which these vessels were discovered.
This paper will present and analyse several anthropomorphic pots discovered in the Eneolithic tell settlement of Sultana-Malu Roșu, where many such vessels were found.
Coming Soon at the National History Museum of Romania.

The aim of the session is to explore how these new data increasingly allow us to rethink the typology-focused chronological constructions and historical reconstructions based on them. In particular, we would like to have a closer look on transformations that took place in this region, e.g.:
• Establishment, transformation and disintegration of flourishing agricultural settlement systems in the Lower Danube (BPK V, KGK VI)) and the North-Eastern Carpathian region (Cucuteni-Tripolye),
• Expansion of human groups into the forest-steppe zone between Prut and Dnieper,
• Cucuteni-Tripolye population agglomerations with giant settlements,
• The development of mobile pastoralism with dispersed settlement pattern in the steppe and forest steppe north-west of the Black Sea
• Intensive interlinking of the Pontic-Baltic region through communication and exchange networks (Baden, Funnel beaker, Globular Amphora, Malice).
