THE_PREHISTORIC_NECROPOLIS_OF_CERNICA.pdf

On the western shore of the lake Cernica, on the territory of the Cernica village in the
neighbourhood of Bucharest, the Academy of the Socialist Republic of Romania in co-operation
with the Bucharest Museum of History carried out during 1961 - 1967 archaeological excavations
that revealed a settlement and a necropolis belonging to phase I of the Boian culture.
On the site of the Neolithic necropolis, in the second millenium B. C„ a settlement of the
Bronze age was established. Later on, in the 16th and 17th centuries, a medieval settlement
and a monastery (Fig. 1) were set up.
