Adelina obtained a Master of History from the University of Bucharest in 2014. In 2013, she got an Erasmus scholarship at Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Humanities. She earned her PhD in History from the "Vasile Pârvan" Institute of Archaeology, Romanian Academy in 2018, under the supervision of Cristian Schuster, PhD. Her dissertation is entitled: ”Metal ornaments in the Neo-eneolithic period in the Carpatho-balkan basin”. Since 2016, she works at Bucharest Municipality Museum as a conservator and archaeologist, with responsibilities regarding the preservation of the artefacts included in the Archaeology Collection; responsibilities in displaying artefacts in various exhibitions; participation in preventive archaeological excavations. She is also participating in systematic archaeological excavations at Sultana-Malu Roșu (since 2010), Gumelnița (2017-2019, 2021), Chiselet (2022, 2025) and Glina (since 2025). Since 2021, she is part of the research project ”The Dynamics of the Prehistoric Communities Located in the Mostiștea and Danube Valleys” (University of Bucharest in partnership with Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel – CAU (Germany), HoGent (Belgium), the Bucharest Municipal Museum, the Lower Danube Museum Călărași and the Gumelnița Oltenița Civilization Museum (Romania), coordinated by Cătălin Lazăr (ICUB, Romania), together with Professor Johannes Mueller (CAU, Germany) and Cornelis Stal (HoGent, Belgium)”.
“The impact of lead isotopic analyses in the provenance of copper objects belonging to the Kodžadermen-Gumelniţa-Karanovo VI cultural complex, from the last half of the 5th millennium BC”
An important component of the copper metallurgy research is represented by discussion around the possible raw material sources exploited during the 5th millennium BC in Southeastern Europe. This project will contribute to an extended knowledge on the stages of copper metallurgy during the Eneolithic across the Kodžadermen-Gumelniţa-Karanovo VI region, with focus on the Northern part of the Danube, taking into account the archaeological data and the results of lead isotope analyses, in order to obtain a complete picture of the exploitation of copper raw material sources, production techniques and the possible copper supply links formed on both sides of Danube river. A selection of tools as well as ornaments from various Gumelnița sites will be the object of the lead isotope analysis. The results will be correlated with the existing data on the copper ores exploited during the Eneolithic times and the copper-based artefacts from the KGK VI area, located in Northeastern Bulgaria.
