The excised 'wolf 's teeth' and 'chessboard' motifs are typical especially for phase I of Precucuteni culture. The decoration is executed inside the incised parallel lines using the excision technique and consists in the 'wolf 's teeth' and 'chessboard'. The aim of this paper is to present the pottery from Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă (Pl. The discoveries from the Sultana-Valea Orbului necropolis were compared with other Boian findings to determine if there is a typology of the funeral inventory specific to this culture.
Analyzed pieces showed different degrees of use-wear demonstrating that they were worn before the deposition in graves. Small cylindrical beads with a central perforation were made of malachite and green schist. Ringlike elements were made from the bone, involving a very complex technological transformation scheme. The inventory is complemented by tubular beads and cylindrical beads. The pieces are endowed with two/three perforations. The most numerous beads of Spondylus valve have a bilobed/trilobed morphology with triangular section, convex extremities and convex-concave sides. From a valve, a belt element was processed by the abrasion of the surface. The valve was also abrased on the internal side in order to remove the cardinal plateau. On the external side, the median area of the valve was removed.
The bracelets were made by an extremely unitary technological transformation scheme of raw material. The personal adornments are mainly manufacturated from Spondylus valve. For this study, we analyzed the archaeological assemblage preserved in the Museum of Gumelnița Civilization from Oltenița (Călărași County) belonging to seven graves. Over 250 inhumation graves which were attributed to the Boian culture have been discovered. Each peak represents a moment of relaxation, Popian says, “because they’re lighter, more airy.” From there, he sends the data to a 3D printer, where each subtle peak and valley is recorded and coded through a complex algorithm.The necropolis of Sultana-Valea Orbului (Călărași County) has been investigated by Done Șerbănescu (starting with 1974). Popian gives users an abstract film to watch, packed with slow-motion colorful movement to stimulate brain activity.Īs the subject’s brain revels in the film, produced by filmmaker Noah Shulman, other people in the studio can watch the peaks and valleys undulate back and forth on a screen.

“Every single one of these maps is like a fingerprint of the individual.” He achieves these models with help from a portable headset equipped with a biosensor he attaches to his subjects. “ emotions, we can feel as human we can map these out,” Popian told ABC News. Popian’s creations are always unique, and direct representations of the user’s own brainwaves.
#ION POPIAN MENTAL FABRICATION SERIES#
Popian calls his series “Mental Fabrications.” The tiny, tissue box-sized creations are part of a much larger movement in 3D printing, which seeks to explore human anatomy in tactile ways - freeing anatomical models from the confines of pixelated screens. What if you could see your brainwaves visualized in 3D, manipulating the model in your hand and physically holding the abstract patterns of your mind? New York-based artist Ion Popian is hard at work making that dream a reality.
