BRONZE DEPOSITS BETWEEN THE CARPATHIANS AND DNIESTER RIVER Origins, composition, social practices, cultural identity

The project has a degree of novelty, he involves a special interest in the geo-historical space of Bucovina; the interdisciplinary analysis of the bronze deposits is quiet inedited, it hasn’t been approached yet. If we are to consider the very few studies on bronze deposits, which do not unify/synthesize the Polish, Ukranian, Hungarian and Romanian literatures regarding the area upon which we cast our view in this project, one could easily distinguish the importance of our work. This project resides in the accomplishment of a complex scientific synthesis, dedicated to a historical-geographical area (Bucovina) which was marked by intense demographical and cultural flows even from ancient times, nevertheless, subordinate to the area between Carpathians and Dniester river. Actually, there is no international or national scientific manifestation to refer with a unitary, synthesis look to the bronze findings in Bucovina. It is this aspect that we want to promote and exploit to its maximum from the scientific point of view.

We focus on: 1) the subject’s historiographical unification, beginning with the elucidation of the German language literature from 19th century Bucovina, when the first bronze deposits are signaled. 2) establishing a repertoire of discoveries, according to a scientific algorithm, is one of the priorities. 3) the mapping of all bronze discoveries, in relation with the fortified and unfortified settlements (ex. Grăniceşti, Siret, Voloca, Oprişeni etc.). 4) the synthesizing of our observations is based on interdisciplinary research: spectral and metallographic analysis, GIS, SRTM maps. We give special attention to the social meaning and interpretation of the bronze deposits, from the recent literature perspective, and in this respect we find the comparison necropolises-deposits very helpful. The concepts of prospector-craftsman-symbol and social-power-leadership-solar-aquatic will be discussed in a distinct chapter in which we aim at judging and evaluating the notions of acculturation, import, cultural identity.
