Olteni village, Bodoc commune, Covasna County, is situated in the Sfântu Gheorghe Valley. The village is lying 10 km north of Sfântu Gheorghe, on both sides of the National Road 12, Braşov – Miercurea Ciuc. The Olt River crosses this village. Starting from the prehistoric period and until nowadays people preferred to settle on the high terraces on both banks of the Olt River. The land here is favourable for agriculture and for animal breeding. An advantage of this area is the existence of a salty mineral water spring and many mineral water springs in this area. The salt water could have been used to assure the minimum need of salt for animal breeding and for human use. The presence of the salty mineral water spring may also stand as an explanation for the large number of archaeological findings on a relatively limited area, where one may distinguish certified findings dating from the Neolithic period (The Linear Pottery Culture with musical note heads), the Aeneolithic period (The Boian – Giuleşti, Precucuteni I and Cucuteni – Ariuşd Cultures), the Bronze Age (Noua Culture), the Second Iron Age (the Geto – Dacian Culture), the Roman Period (the Roman Camp), the post-Roman Period (the Sântana de Mureş – Cerneahov Culture), the Medieval Period (The Heretz Fortress) and the Modern Period (Plate I/1,2). Two archaeological sites were discovered in year 2000, south from Olteni village, Covasna County. Site A is situated between the National Road 12 and the Sfântu Gheorghe – Miercurea-Ciuc railway. Within this site, during 2001 – 2006 years, excavations uncovered evidences of the Bronze Age (the Noua Culture), Dacian La Tène (4th centuries B.C.) and of the post-Roman Period (4th – 5th). Site B is situated at about 300 m west from Site A. The excavations carried out with in this site revealed the Neo-Aeneolithic settlement and a Dacian grave (Plate II/1, 2). The Neo-Aeneolithic settlement In a first stage the settlement was inhabited by the Culture of linear pottery with musical notes community (Pit no. 5) and later by the Boian – Giuleşti and Precucuteni I communities (in the filling of the archaeological complexes the discoveries are mixed). The communities representing the Culture of linear pottery with musical notes had an important role for the setting up of the Early Aeneolithical cultures, Boian, Turdaş, Iclod, Precucuteni. Boian Culture is well known in south – eastern Transylvania and it is overlapping the inhabitance area of the Culture of Linear Pottery. Materials belonging to this culture have been discovered in 16 settlements from Transylvania. Precucuteni Culture has been put into gear in a system of direct or indirect relations with some of the contemporary cultures, former or even hinder, from the geographical area in which it developed and evolved. Neo-Aeneolithical complexes from Olteni “Cariera de Nisip”, Site B will be researched in future campaigns. The Dacian Cemetery Grave no. 2, about 10 m southwest of G.1, found 0.40m deep. Shape: one could not make out the contour of the pit for sure, because it was at the surface and was dug in an Aeneolithic complex; however, based on the colour of the infill (brown), it was probably round. Infill: brown sediment. Rite: in-urn cremation, as the vessel was almost filled with strongly burned bones of various sizes; the upper part of the urn broken and collapsed inside or on the side. Grave no. 3: double cremation tomb, in urn and in pit. Shape: rectangular pit, close to the north-south axis, with wooden planks, now carbonized, marking the eastern and northern sides, as well as the bottom, meaning there must have been a wooden structure on the sides and the bottom. Infill: Yellow sediment, different from the one around the pit. Rite: cremation Grave 3a: in-urn cremation, as the vessel is almost filled with cremation bones; it is placed in the northern-central part of the pit. Grave 3b: in-pit cremation, with the bones deposited in the southern part of the pit, next to deposit 1. Deposit 1: truncated vessel with a porringer-lid, placed faced down on it, both of them found in the southern end of the pit, close to the G.3b Deposit 2: porringer fragment, found north-east of G.3b. Deposit 3: biconical vessel found at the north-western end of the pit, close to G.3a, placed faced down. Deposit 4: a vessel’s stem found in the pit’s filling at the depth of 0.55 m Deposit 5: grinder fragments probably from a primitive grinder, trapezoidal in shape, with the upper part slightly rounded, probably wear out as a result of use. Offering pit ? The porringer-lid of Grave 2 ? One found only a fragmentary porringer (about two thirds of the vessel), deposited face down about 4m southeast of Grave 2. Preliminary considerations. Grave 1 and Grave 3 might have belonged to some families high in wealth and status, given the resources necessary for erecting the pyre and the special manner in which the tombs was fitted out. Why are we talking about a Dacian community? Because the many ceramic recipients, found in all types of complexes and originating from at least 60 items all in all, are characteristic of the Geto-Dacian pottery of the 5th-3rd centuries B.C. Unfortunately, from the other intra-Carpathian valleys (Haţeg, Hunedoara, Sibiu, Bârsa, Sf. Gheorghe, Ciucaş), we have very few archaeological discoveries dating back to the 4th – 3rd centuries B.C. We believe that is due to the stage of the research and the lack of a consistent and persistent program of researching these areas, because it is difficult to believe that regions so hospitable and full of rich resources could have been uninhabited for almost two centuries. It is obvious that these vessels, that are of modest value but so useful in food preparation, were obtained from the local Dacian communities and not brought from the other side of the mountains; there is no reason to assume the existence of intense trade activities over the Carpathians (the extreme rarity of Greek imports in Transylvania is serious evidence to that end), not to mention the difficulties associated with transporting such fragile and low-grade vessels over the mountains. In conclusion, the special importance of the discoveries from Olteni is that the varied complexes and specific inventory stand proof of the existence of a Dacian community in Transylvania in the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. This is just one example – albeit a representative one – on how the Dacian and the Celtic communities could live together, in their respective patches.
