Theoretical aspects about prehistoric habitat in Oltenia

Even though we can only imagine the entire mythical structure which could have represented the basis of the human settlement that, through the archeologically observed traces, could offer information related to the social and economical structure of communities. Achieving a symbiosis between the climatic conditions, the specific of rural economy, intercommunity or distant changes, the necessity of creating some fortification systems and the existence of some power centers, some religious practices thus it is defined the character of the habitat of the discussed period. The Neolithic settlements can be found in different places but in most of the cases on rivers courses near springs with drinking water especially on lower or middle terraces. Both the demographic development and the sedentary character of the communities, first of all in places adjusted to human life and then in placements permitting the co-inhabitation of many coherent groups. To the end of the Neolithic, these villages are fortified, they get sometimes big sizes and an important territorial systematization.
