Encyclopedia > Basarabi culture

Basarabi is a village in Dolj county, south-western Romania. Nowdays it is an administrative component of the Calafat municipality. It is also the place that named the Basarabi Culture (8th - 7th centuries B.C.) which relates to the Hallstatt culture of the Iron Age period that, when normalised, is uniformly spread apart from a reduced number of sites in Muntenia, the central Moldavian Carpathians and Oltenia. The Hallstatt A (12-11th BC) and B (10-8th BC) corresponds to the late Bronze Age, Hallstatt C (7th BC) to the early Iron Age, and Hallstatt D (6th BC) to the Iron Age. The Hallstatt culture probably consisted of many different peoples and language groups. The variant known as the Basarabi Culture was present over much of Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Voivodina, and central Moldavia up to the Dniester River ~650 BC (Nistru in Romanian). During this period the Greeks founded cities along the Black Sea coast and the first written records describe their encounters with the indigenous people. See also The Basarabi Culture. ...
