Description
Summary:The hallstattian settlement from Babadag was fortified in the third phase of the Babadag culture (8th – beginning of the 7th century BC). Very important in this dating is the pottery discovered in the course of excavation. The fortification contains a trench and a vallum. The pits found in the vallum’s structure shows that the fortification was abandoned in the same phase of habitat, probably at the beginning of the 8th century BC. Through this pits, there is a very interesting situation in the case of pit number 3 from S VI, where we discovered three human skulls, which were dropped there. Similar situation are mentioned in the Babadag type settlements from Satu Nou “Valea lui Voicu”, Garvăn „Mlăjitul Florilor” and Niculiţel „Cornet”.
