location
The Taraschina archaeological site has been added to the Romanian Historical Monuments List and is located 4.5 km southwest of Mila 23 village in Tulcea County . It is bordered on one side by an artificial canal from the second half of the 20th century, on the other side there are reeds.
State of research
A team of archaeologists and geographers studied the water levels at the time the Danube Delta was formed. At Mila 23 they suspected a dry plateau two meters above sea level of the then united Black and Mediterranean Seas . In fact, excavations there confirmed a settled Neolithic culture that engaged in agriculture, cattle breeding, pottery, and metalworking. Thanks to French funding, extensive excavations with professional equipment could be carried out to a depth of eight meters, which also revealed traces of later Hellenistic and medieval cultures.
The abandonment of the settlement in the middle of the 5th millennium BC BC was probably caused by rising sea levels and the flooding of large areas.
