Abstract

In 2022, a stone pendant was recovered from the Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian I) level of Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț, Romania. Dating to ∼24,096-22992 cal. BP, it is made on an oval-shaped quartz/quartzite pebble of 29 mm maximum dimensions. It bears 11 discrete incisions around its circumference, and a perforation to allow for suspension. Unlike other known Gravettian pendants from the Romanian sites of Mitoc-Malul Galben, the Cioarei-Boroșteni cave and additional items from Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț, this pendant bears no decoration on either face, and the incisions on its circumference are superficial and hardly visible, adding to the picture of variability of Eastern European personal ornamentation. We present it here, discussing its significance as part of a chronologically and regionally constrained visual symbol in Eastern Europe during the 24^th millennium BP.

罗马尼亚 Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț上层旧石器时代新发现的石坠及其广泛背景

2022 年，在罗马尼亚 Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț 的上旧石器时代（格拉维蒂第一层）发现了一个石坠。年代为公元前 24,096-22992 年。它制作于一块最大尺寸为 29 毫米的椭圆形石英/石英岩卵石上。它的周缘有 11 个不连续的切口，还有一个用于悬挂的穿孔。与罗马尼亚米托克-马卢尔-加尔本遗址、Cioarei-Boroșteni 洞穴和 Poiana Cireșului-Piatra Neamț遗址出土的其他已知格拉维蒂吊坠不同，这件吊坠的两面都没有装饰，周缘的切口也很肤浅，几乎不可见，这使得东欧个人装饰品的多变性更加明显。我们在此介绍它，并讨论其作为公元前 24 世纪东欧受时间和地区限制的视觉符号的一部分的意义。
