Geodynamic and Hydro-Geological Constraints Regarding the Extension of the Prospective Archaeo-Cultural Area Within the Northern Romanian Coastal Zone ARTICLE IN PRESS Quaternary International xxx (2010) 1e11 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Quaternary International journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/quaint Geodynamic and hydro-geological constraints regarding the extension of the prospective archaeo-cultural area within the northern Romanian coastal zone Radu George Dimitriu* Department of Geophysics, National Institute of Marine Geology and Geoecology - GeoEcoMar, 23-25 Dimitrie Onciul Street, 024053 Bucharest, Romania article info abstract Article history: An obvious discrepancy is noticed between the very few archaeological sites discovered until now on the Available online xxx Danube Delta plain area and the large number of such sites, whose ages range from the Middle Paleo- lithic to the Middle Ages and more recently, identified on its higher topography surroundings. Keywords: The combined effects of the regional subsidence of the coast and delta area, with amplitudes of Romanian Black Sea coast À2toÀ4 mm/y and of the secular mean sea level rise (þ0.5/1.0 mm/y) continuously change the “land- Dobruja mean sea level” relative relationship, placing the prospective archaeo-cultural layer corresponding to Geodynamics the Late Prehistory e Antiquity period at a burial depth which now exceeds 4e5 m. This situation Eustasy Littoral erosion partly explains the limited success of the archaeological research carried out until now within the Archaeo-cultural heritage Danube Delta plain area and recommends a systematic use of the geophysical investigation methods in future. The integrated interpretation of the coastal zone bathymetry and sedimentology mappings and of the shoreline geomorphological evolution in time highlights the sedimentary processes that pres- ently shape the littoral study zone allowing to divide it in sectors where either sediments accumu- lation or erosion processes prevail. The study draws attention to the Împut¸ita e Câs¸la Vadanei and Cos¸na e Vadu littoral sectors where the intense marine erosion of the shoreline and the adjacent seabed also imminently endangers their prospective archaeo-cultural load.

    JURILOVCA Localitatea Jurilovca este situată în partea de sud–est a judeţului Tulcea, pe malul vestic al Lacului Razim; la 54 km de Tulcea, 26 km – Sarichioi, la 20 km de Babadag, la 5 km de localitatea Sălcioara şi 15 km până la Gura Portiţei. Alături de aceasta, în componenţa comunei cu acelaşi nume intră satele: Vişina, situată la 1 km distanţă şi Sălcioara (fost 6 Martie), la 6 km. Accesul în aceasta localitate se face de la şoseaua naţională DN 22, Tulcea - Constanţa, la nodul rutier numit local „Două cantoane”, apoi spre stânga pe drumul judeţean, DJ 222. Comuna Jurilovca este delimitată de următoarele teritorii administrative comunale: la nord – teritoriul administrativ al comunei Sarichioi la vest – teritoriul administrativ al comunei Ceamurlia de Jos la sud – Complexul lagunar Razim (Lacul Goloviţa) la est – Complexul lagunar Razim. Localitatea Jurilovca este aşezată în zona de racord a podişului Babadag cu câmpia litorală Razim, prezentând un relief alcătuit din dealuri ce descresc altitudinal spre nivelul de bază reprezentat de sistemul lagunar. Cele mai mari altitudini se regăsesc în extremitatea nord-vestică a comunei (Dealul Drăgaica – 140 m). Depresiunea Jurilovca este dominată la sud de dealurile Ceardac-Bair, Drăgaica, iar în vest de dealurile de la capul Doloşman. Depresiunea Vişina este situată în sectorul de vărsare a văii Batalului în lacul Goloviţa, la V de localitatea Jurilovca. În partea de nord a localităţii Jurilovca, între promontoriile Iancila şi Doloşman, apare depresiunea de tip golf 6 Martie. Reţeaua hidrografică este alcătuită din văi cu caracter temporar şi regim torenţial, pe de o parte, şi mari suprafeţe lacustre (complexul lagunar Razim - Sinoe), pe de altă parte.

A number of spider species were collected in 2011 and 2012 in various microhabitats in and around the village Letea (the Danube Delta, Romania) and on the Bulgarian Dobruja Black Sea coast. The results are the start of a proposed longer survey of the spider fauna in the area. The genus Spermophora Hentz, 1841 (with the species senoculata), Xysticus laetus Thorell, 1875 and Trochosa hispanica Simon, 1870 are mentioned in the Romanian fauna for the first time. Floronia bucculenta (Clerck, 1757) is at the first record for the Bulgarian fauna. Diagnostic drawings and photographs are presented. Résumé. En 2011 et 2012, on recueille des espèces d’araignées dans des microhabitats différents autour du village de Letea (le delta du Danube) et le long de la côte de la Mer Noire dans la Dobroudja bulgare. Les résultats sont le début d’une enquête proposée de la faune d’araignée dans la région. Le genre Spermophora Hentz, 1841 (avec l’espèce senoculata), Xysticus laetus Thorell, 1875 et Trochosa hispanica Simon, 1870 sont mentionnés pour la première fois dans la faune de Roumanie. Floronia bucculenta (Clerck, 1757) est au premier enregistrement pour la faune bulgare. Aussi on présente les dessins de diagnose et des photographies.
