Imaginea societăţii paleoliticului superior din spaţiul carpatic reflectată în descoperirile cu caracter artistic [Articol]

Abstract

The image of upper paleolithic society in the Carpathian region reflected in the artistic descoveries. The developments that have marked scientific research in the field of general prehistory in the last century require a careful reassessment of the main contributions in the field of research on the European Upper Paleolithic. The Carpathian space, located at the intersection between the techno-complexes of Central and Eastern Europe, presents a distinct cultural evolution. The results of archaeological research constitute methodological approaches and interpretations based on eloquent evidence, which have not been accepted, however, so far, in scientific circles as “absolute truths”. From this point of view, only, a review of the historiographical aspects related to the interpretation of artifacts called “works of art” is useful in order to identify methodological benchmarks that are in agreement with international research systems.
