Top of the pots. Late Neolithic ceramic lids from North Central Bulgaria2019 •
Lids are a seldom discovered type of Neolithic vessels, which explains the lack of analyses of this category of ceramic assemblage. This study includes 41 unpublished fragments found at the settlements Samovodene, Kachitsa, Hotnitsa-Kashlata, Hotnitsa-Kaya bunar, situated in the Yantra river valley, as well as Koprivets which is located in the Rusenski Lom basin. They reveal certain changes in typology and decoration throughout the entire Late Neolithic period (according to the Bulgarian chronological system – 5400/5300-5000/4900 BC), namely the Hotnitsa and Dudeşti cultures in the Lower Danube region, plus some Early Vădastra elements. The absence of any Boian-Bolentineanu traces is not surprising, considering its vague specifics and even question-able existence. Most of the forms described come from Samovodene (34 pieces), as it is one of the few extensively excavated sites. The majority have cylindrical (with straight or bulging walls) and slightly conical lids with planar top surfaces. The few pieces from Kachitsa, the sites in the vicinity of Hotnitsa and the single from Koprivets show different shapes, characteristic of the very end of the period. Various ornamentations are encrusted with white or, at rare occasions, red, pastes. Moreover, due to the diverse decorations, every single fragment included has its own specific appearance. The lids from North Central Bulgaria, as well as parts of the ceramic assemblage, and their closest parallels in the Dudeşti and Vădastra material from the Western Muntenia and Eastern Oltenia regions in Southern Romania
Early and Middle Bronze Age Zoomorphic Figurines and Depictions from the Present-Day Area of Bulgaria
WARSAW STUDIES IN ARCHAEOLOGY VOLUME 5 EDITORIAL BOARD2023 •
This study focuses on the Early and Middle Bronze Age zoomorphic figurines, plastic representations and depictions originating from the present-day area of Bulgaria. These very interesting artefacts belong to the group of so-called “small clay finds”. The figurines are 43 in total, and they were distributed across 11 settlements, primarily in the Upper Thrace Valley. The zoomorphic figurines and other representations were discovered in several different archaeological contexts: in dwellings, ditches and pits, as collective finds, at the base of hearths or ovens, etc. The present research summarises their distribution, the details of their archaeological contexts, their technological and typological features, their parallels, their relative and absolute chronology (when possible) and the interpretation of their meaning and usage.

The Budapest History Museum's Aquincum Museum opened its new temporary exhibition in December 2019, which presents the world of the first food producers based on their archaeological remains uncovered in Budapest. The exhibition is an important milestone in the research of the Neolithic in many ways. Only rarely do we get to see exhibitions focusing on this exceptionally exciting period which brought major changes for humanity. 2 It is also highly significant for the Hungarian capital. Although Neolithic settlements and select finds uncovered by excavations on different construction sites have been presented before in exhibitions with a broad range (Zsidi 2005; 2017), such a detailed and concentrated overview of the subject has long been missing from the rich exhibition repertoire of the museum.
