Talk:Varna Necropolis

message: The semi-comprehensive synopsis, ( 9 paragraphs, about 700 words ), starts the article by saying age is 4500-4000 BC.
A quote from the article(No. 34):
:"...nearly 300 graves has produced an astonishing amount of gold artifacts, including diadems, body ornaments, and weapon shafts, as well as finely made objects of copper, flint, and stone. "..
Article also includes an In situ grave pic, and a pic of an organized, "laid-out" group of artefacts (+shell bead necklace?).MMcAnnis,YumaAZMmcannis 15:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

message: "The local variant of the KGKIV:" I don't think one reader in five hundred has any idea of what this signifies; was such impressive mystification intended? I can guess this is a culture stratum, fourth in someone's series. Perhaps one of those Ks stands for Kalkolithic or Kulture... --Wetman (talk) 01:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  So? Should have linked to it, so that those (like us) who don't know what "KGKIVI" means can click on the link, and find out what it is! That's the whole point of links in Wikipedia, right? (I have now done so.) Noel (talk) 18:01, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: The KGKIV

message: "The gold artifacts from the Varna Chalcolithic necropolis are assumed to be the “oldest gold of mankind” according to their total volume and quantity. "  Does not make sense to me.  It implies that the volume and quantity prove it is the oldest.

message: I don't understand the following sentance:
"The gold artifacts from the Varna Chalcolithic necropolis are assumed to be the "oldest gold of mankind" according to their total volume and quantity"  Surely the volume and quantity have nothing to do with whether it is the oldest?

replies: text: I believe the sentence is supposed to imply that this can be considered the oldest golden "treasure" - other finds may be equally old but due to limited diversity and or volume it's not clear if they constitute a treasure hoard or just individual items clumped together. Maybe something along the lines of "That being said, due to it's diversity and volume, Varna gold is usually considered the oldest man-made golden treasure."
