Bug-Dniester culture

The Bug - Dniester culture (ca. 6500-5000 BC) is an archaeological culture of the Neolithic in the territories of present-day Moldova and Ukraine on the rivers Dniester and Southern Bug.

The development of this culture is evident in her 1500 - year follow different phases, the most important thing for the Neolithic of this region is the independent development of the local Mesolithic tradition.

In the early phase the bug Dniester culture is preceramic. The people lived by hunting aurochs, red deer and wild boar and fished roach, eels and pike. Evidence of agriculture so far were not found.

From about 5800 BC, the first ceramics are known. Mainly, these are flat or spitzbödige cans that have been decorated with wavy lines. Influences the Starčevo culture led to strong changes in the bug - Dniester culture. The ceramic was suddenly that of Starčevo culture very similar and rather wild grass was now as increasingly used in southern Europe, einkorn, emmer and spelled.

To 5500 BC, the style of ceramics changes again. Characteristics of the Starčevo culture were replaced by those of the Linear Pottery Culture ( LBK ). The LBK- people probably came from the Upper Dniester in this region and probably before penetrated to the lower Danube. Pit houses were replaced by long houses.

To 5270 calibrated years BC, the Linear Pottery Culture developed in Austria a new decorative style of pottery, called the note head ceramic. Broken incised lines replaced the ribbons decorating the early LBK, angular meander were applied circumferentially in a zig -zag designs. In the recesses of the scribe lines sit pierced points, the note heads. In the edge region circumferentially pierced points are also mounted in one or more rows. This style quickly spread through Slovakia to Poland in the Western Bug and came thence along the Dniester and Prut in the Ukraine and Romania.

Later, the bug - Dniester culture went on in the Cucuteni culture.
