Analysis reveals tool use and re‑activation characteristics in the knapped lithic assemblage, suggesting deeper cultural insights.
The necropolis at Decea is representative of the Decea Mureșului cultural group of the Middle Eneolithic period, part of the larger complex of early ochre burials. Although it has been in the attention of the specialists for some time, the knapped lithic assemblage from the Decea necropolis (Alba County) still reveals certain characteristics worth reviewing. The usewear of certain artefacts in the assemblage show they were used as tools, while some retouches are indicative of their re‑activation.
