Late Mesolithic and Neolithic site in western Romania of the Iron Gates gorge of the River Danube with radiocarbon dates of 6800-5600 BC. The Schela group is contemporary with the sites of Vlasac, Lepenski Vir, and Padina and includes cave as well as open sites. Burials are found, located around a hearth, with feet pointing toward it. There was herding and plant-gathering to supplement fishing and hunting. Remains of the Neolithic Cris culture were in another layer.
