CUCUTENI: BIRTH OF A COLLECTIVE HERITAGE

摘要

THAT ARCHEOLOGY HAS ALWAYS SERVED AS MATERIAL SUPPORT FOR IDENTITY CLAIMS, IS AFACT ALREADY KNOWN. THE MAJOR EMPHASIS ADDRESS TO THE OLDEST VESTIGES RESPOND ATTHE NEED OF SEARCHING OUR "ORIGINS" IN HISTORICAL DEPTH, BUT BETWEEN THE ROMANSAND THE DACIANS WE EXPERIENCE A VAGUE DISCOMFORT. INCREASED AWARENESS THAT THEREARE MANY PREHISTORIC OBJECTS AND "BARBARIANS" WHO DESERVE TO BE STUDIED ANDCOLLECTED BRINGS MEANINGFUL CHANGE. THUS, THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE, BUILT UPOVER THE CENTURIES, THANKS TO COLLECTORS, INDIVIDUALS, OR BY THE STATE, IS RELATED TOTHE NATIONAL IDEOLOGY. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE CUCUTENI DISCOVERIES OF THE LATENINETEENTH CENTURY COULD NOT GO UNNOTICED AND THESE ANTIQUITIES, IN A WAY LOCALS,INTEGRATED IN THE AESTHETIC AND HISTORICAL MANIPULATION, QUICKLY BECAME NATIONALHERITAGE OBJECTS. HOWEVER, THE IDENTITY MODELED ON ARCHEOLOGY MIRROR IS OFTENFRAGILE AND TEMPORARY. THIS CONTRIBUTION IS A CRITICAL LOOK AT ARCHEOLOGY AS ARECOVERY OF THE NATIONALIST HERITAGE. THE EXAMPLE IN THIS ARTICLE SHOWS THAT THESAME REMAINS CAN RESPOND TO THE AFFIRMATION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY, TO THEPROMOTION OF UNIVERSAL IDEALS AND TO THE STIMULATION OF LOCAL PRIDE, WITHOUTTHESE THREE AIMS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.ALL THE FACTS MENTIONED HERE CONCERNS THE INSTRUMENTATION OF "ANTIQUITIES" OFCUCUTENI SINCE THEIR DISCOVERY BY CHANCE -TO THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY UNTILTHEY HAVE BEEN HONORED IN A MUSEUM DEDICATED FRAMEWORK INCLUDING THE CULTUREOF CUCUTENI, IN 1934, IN THE MUSEUM OF PIATRA NEAMT. IF THIS CONTRIBUTION IS NOT ATRUE STORY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE OF CUCUTENI, THEDATA COLLECTED HERE ALLOW AT LEAST FORWARD A NUMBER OF PLAUSIBLE ASSUMPTIONS.
