Heritage
Hamangia / Neolithic
Hamangia culture has belonged to Dobrogea for five millennia. The Thinker sits in Bucharest; the context is here: pottery, settlements, figurines. No GPS for fragile sites. The 10-minute lesson is for the classroom and for haste.
What it is
People from about 5,000 years ago, on the northern shore and on the steppe. Pottery, figurines, a face that became an emblem. It is not 'Dacians before the Dacians' — it is Neolithic, with its own name.
Where you see it
MINAC, other museums, the emblem piece in Bucharest. Do not go into a field with a forum pin.
Respect
We do not publish coordinates of unexcavated sites. A furrow is a site, not a place to hunt 'treasure'.
Along the timeline
The chronology links Hamangia to Histria to Tomis. One museum is enough for this layer.
