“Brussels Sprouts and Post-Neolithic Archaeology”: The Metal Age Settlement at Foeni-Salaş

Abstract

Systematic archaeological excavations at the multiphase site of Foeni-Salaş in the Romanian Banat were conducted during the first half of the 1990s. The site was inhabited during the Early Neolithic, Copper, Bronze, Early Iron, Late Antique and medieval ages. This paper presents a description of the deposits and the most important ceramic finds that represent the Metal Age cultural horizons at the site. This is the first time that the finds from the Metal Age deposits at the site have been published.
