Painted vessels with complex geometrical patterns based on spiral-motifs are typical.

They are decorated with dots, straight parallel lines and zig-zags, which make Hamangia pottery very original.

Pottery figurines are normally extremely stylized and show standing naked faceless women with emphasized breasts and buttocks.

Two figurines known as "The Thinker of Cernavodă" and "The Sitting woman" are considered masterpieces of Neolithic art.

Settlements consist of rectangular houses with one or two rooms, built of wattle and daub, sometimes with stone foundations (in Durankulak).
