Everything about The Varna Culture totally explained
The
Varna culture belongs to the late
Eneolithic of northern
Bulgaria. It is conventionally dated between 4400-4100 BC cal, that is, contemporary with
Karanovo VI in the South. It is characterised by polychrome pottery and rich cemeteries, the most famous of which are
Varna Necropolis, the eponymous site, and the
Durankulak complex, which comprises the largest prehistoric cemetery in southeastern Europe (1,200 graves: published), with an adjoining coeval Neolithic settlement (published) and an unpublished and incompletely excavated Chalcolithic settlement. Burial is normally flat on the back, sometimes covered with stones. Grave gifts include bracelets of
Spondylus,
carnelian beads, gold beads and pendants, and blades of blond balcanic flint. The culture seems to come to a sudden end around 4100 BC, which
Henrietta Todorova explains with a dramatic climatic change.
