Camelia-Mirela Vintilă et al., « Noi aspecte ale plasticii antropomorfe descoperite la Dunărea de Jos / Several antropomorphic figurines found during the excavations on the Vidra tell », Materiale şi cercetări arheologice, ID : 10.3406/mcarh.2013.936
The present paper reopens the discussion over several antropomorphic figurines found during the excavations on the Vidra tell. The figurines are part of the collection of the Bucharest City Museum (MMB). The majority of them were assigned by the author of the excavations, D. V. Rosetti, to the B1 phase of the Gumelnitsa culture. The exact archaeological context of the figurines is unknown. The authors used for the study of this lot a relatively recent method of investigation – the X-ray tomography. The X-ray equipment was specifically built for applications in archaeology and is unique in Romania. The X-ray tomography proved to be a very useful tool in archaeological research and cultural heritage studies, presenting a series of advantages.
