SultanaArchaeology

Sultana - Malu Roșu is a prehistoric site located in southeastern Romania, approximately 9 miles of the Danube River, on the banks of the Mostiștea Lake, close to the village of Sultana, Călărași County. The core of the archaeologically rich area is the  tell settlement belonging to the Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karanovo VI culture (ca. 4600-3800 BC). At about 800 meters of the mound, an older settlement has been identified, belonging to the Boian-Polyanitsa-Karanovo V culture (ca. 4900-4600 BC). Between these two, a cemetery used by both cultures successively was discovered in 2006.
