  • Commagenorum
    CASTELUL DE LA CAPUT STENARUM ŞI COHORS I FLAVIA COMMAGENORUM Cristian SCHUSTER* Fortificaţia de la Boiţa/Caput Stenarum Înainte de a părăsi Transilvania, Oltul face un unghi de aproape 90 de grade, pornind apoi spre sud, prin Carpaţii Meridionali, devenind ulterior „graniţa” dintre Oltenia şi Muntenia. Chiar în dreptul respectivului cot, pe malul drept al râului, investigaţiile arheologice au permis descoperirea resturilor unei fortificaţii romane. Acestea, aflate în punctul cunoscut sub denumirea În Rude (fig. 1), se găsesc astăzi pe teritoriul satului Boiţa (oraşul Tălmaciu, judeţul Sibiu)1. Aşa cum se ştie, cei mai mulţi dintre specialişti consideră că în acest sat trebuie localizat ceea ce Tabula Peutingeriana indică a fi Caput Stenarum2. Prezenţa urmelor romane a fost semnalată încă de la sfârşitul veacului al XIX-lea - începutul celui următor3. Primele cercetări arheologice s-au derulat în 19574, fiind continuate în 19585, 19736, 19797 şi, în cadrul practicii arheologice a studenţilor de la Facultatea de Filologie-Istorie din Sibiu, în vara anului 19818. Fortificaţiei, prin dimensiunile sale reduse – „de 46 x 47 m, fiind, deci, aproape pătrată”9, i se potriveşte mai degrabă termenul de castellum decât cel de castrum. Cu privire la momentul ridicării fortificaţiei din piatră, dar şi a „termelor cu palestrele, tabulariului vămii şi construcţiile cu caracter gospodăresc” s-a emis ipoteza că ele au fost realizate „după anii 167-169 e.n., când s-a operat reorganizarea administrativă şi militară de către Marcus Aurelius”10. Spre această concluzie * Institutul de Arheologie „Vasile Pârvan” - Centrul de Tracologie, Bucureşti; e-mail: [email protected]. 1 Ghinea 1998.

  • Bronze Age Tell Communities in Context: an Exploration Into Culture
    Bronze Age Tell Kienlin This study challenges current modelling of Bronze Age tell communities in the Carpathian Basin in terms of the evolution of functionally-differentiated, hierarchical or ‘proto-urban’ society Communities in Context under the influence of Mediterranean palatial centres. It is argued that the narrative strategies employed in mainstream theorising of the ‘Bronze Age’ in terms of inevitable social ‘progress’ sets up an artificial dichotomy with earlier Neolithic groups. The result is a reductionist vision An exploration into culture, society, of the Bronze Age past which denies continuity evident in many aspects of life and reduces our understanding of European Bronze Age communities to some weak reflection of foreign-derived and the study of social types – be they notorious Hawaiian chiefdoms or Mycenaean palatial rule. In order to justify this view, this study looks broadly in two directions: temporal and spatial. First, it is asked European prehistory – Part 1 how Late Neolithic tell sites of the Carpathian Basin compare to Bronze Age ones, and if we are entitled to assume structural difference or rather ‘progress’ between both epochs. Second, it is examined if a Mediterranean ‘centre’ in any way can contribute to our understanding of Bronze Age tell communities on the ‘periphery’. It is argued that current Neo-Diffusionism has us essentialise from much richer and diverse evidence of past social and cultural realities. Tobias L. Kienlin Instead, archaeology is called on to contribute to an understanding of the historically specific expressions of the human condition and human agency, not to reduce past lives to abstract stages on the teleological ladder of social evolution.

  • Roman Defence Sites on the Danube River and Environmental Changes
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XIII 563 Roman defence sites on the Danube River and environmental changes D. Constantinescu Faculty Material’s Science and Engineering, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania Abstract There are many things to learn from the past regarding ancient settlements, the ancient organization of cities, the structures of the buildings and concerning the everyday life of our ancestors. There are numerous sites along the Danube River which were once included in the economic and defensive system of the Roman Empire. Many of them are not well known today or studies are in their very early stages. Sucidava is an example of a Daco-Roman historical defence site, situated on the north bank of the Danube. The ancient heritage site covers more than two hectares; comprising the Roman-Byzantine basilica of the 4th century, the oldest place of worship north of the Danube, the building containing the hypocaust dates from the late 6th century AD, Constantine the Great portal bridge, to span the Danube river, the gates linking the bridge and city, a Roman fountain dating from the 2nd century AD. This entire defensive and communication system stands as a testimony to the complexity of an historical conception. However, how was it possible that such sophisticated structures have been partially or totally destroyed? Certainly not only economic and military aspects might be a likely explanation. The present article considers the evolution of the sites from cultural ecology point of view, as well as taking into consideration environmental and climatic changes. Doubtless, the overall evolution of this site is not singular.

  • Aux Débuts De L'archéologie Moderne Roumaine: Les Fouilles D'atmageaua
    Aux débuts de l’archéologie moderne roumaine: les fouilles d’Atmageaua Tătărască∗ Radu-Alexandru DRAGOMAN** Abstract: This text is an analysis of the archive resulting from the 1929-1931, 1933 and 1935 archaeological research at Atmageaua Tătărască, southern Dobrudja (today Sokol, in Bulgaria). The excavations at Atmageaua Tătărască are relevant for the history of Romanian archeology because they correspond to the time of formation and institutionalization of a scientific approach considered to be “modern” and of a research philosophy that would dominate the archaeological practice ever since. The text seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the beginnings of the discipline and also advocates for the redefinition of the current archaeological practice. Rezumat: Textul reprezintă o analiză a arhivei rezultate în urma cercetărilor arheologice din 1929-1931, 1933 şi 1935 de la Atmageaua Tătărască, sudul Dobrogei (astăzi Sokol, în Bulgaria). Săpăturile de la Atmageaua Tătărască sunt relevante pentru istoria arheologiei românești, deoarece corespund perioadei de formare şi instituţionalizare a unei demers ştiinţific considerat a fi „modern” şi a unei filosofii de cercetare ce va domina practica arheologică de atunci încolo. Textul își propune să contribuie la o mai bună înțelegere a începuturilor disciplinei și, totodată, pledează pentru redefinirea practicii arheologice din prezent. Keywords: History of archaeology, modern archaeology, “lovers of antiquities”, archive, Atmageaua Tătărască, Romania. Cuvinte-cheie: Istoria arheologiei, arheologie modernă, „pasionaţii de antichităţi”, arhivă, Atmageaua Tătărască, România. ≤ Introduction Pendant la première guerre mondiale, lorsque l’armée roumaine, qui luttait près d’Entente, avait été vaincue et une partie du pays occupée par les troupes des Empires Centraux, les archéologues Allemands ont entrepris des fouilles dans plusieurs sites préhistoriques de la Roumanie (Vl.

    BHAUT, XII, 2010, p. 201-213 CONSIDERAŢII PRIVIND ORGANIZAREA CĂRĂMIDĂRIEI LEGIUNII A XIII-A GEMINA DE LA APULUM Doina Benea Cuvinte cheie: cărămidărie, legiunea a XIII Gemina, stampila de legiune, lut, material tegular Schüsselwörte: Ziegelei, Legio XIII Gemina, Legionsstempel, Lehm, Baumaterialien Zusamenfassung: Bei Apulum sind zwei Haupttypen der Legionsstempel bekannt. Beim ersten kommt nur der Legionsname vor, beim zweiten gibt es daneben auch gewisse Personennamen, die als Namen der Leiter der Ziegeleien betrachtet werden. Unter diesen kommen mindestens drei von Zivilisten vor, die also zu Lokalwerkstätten der canabae gehören. Die bislang erschienenen drei Namen Iulius Serenus, Terentianus, P. Clodius... auf Baumaterialien und auf bestimmten Gegenständen heben das hervor. Von diesen Beispielen ausgehend wurde die Ansicht vertreten, dass in den Werkstätten Baumaterialien aus Lehm auf Bestellung der Behörden oder der Armee für öffentliche Zwecke oder für das Militär hergestellt wurden. Man kann zum ersten Mal feststellen, dass diese bedeutende wirtschaftliche Tätigkeit in den Lagerdörfern der Legion XIII Gemina von Apulum stattfand, und zwar in den privaten Ziegeleien, die sowohl für die Armee als auch für den privaten Bereich gearbeitet haben. Der bedarf an Baumaterialien für die Errichtung der öffentlichen oder militärische Bauten in den neuen Siedlungen Dakiens haben die Behörden dazu veranlasst, sich an private Unternehmer zu wenden. Die keramischen Baumaterialien für die Provinz wurden in den canabae von Apulum hergestellt. Weder die Ausmaße und der Umfang dieser Produktion noch deren Verbreitung auf dem Gebiet der Provinz können allerdings ganz erfasst werden. Die Produktion wurde vermutlich von der Legion XIII Gemina überwacht, von einem magister figlinae oder –arum, wie zum Beispiel Aurelius Godes.

  • FRONTIER IDENTITIES Roman Villa and Settlement Excavation and Survey
    LIFE BY THE IMPERIAL ROAD - FRONTIER IDENTITIES Roman Villa and Settlement Excavation and Survey IDENTITY AND WEALTH: ROMAN PROVINCIAL LANDSCAPE STRATEGIES Rapolt, Transylvania, Romania June 7 - July 4; July 20 - August 1, 2020 During the Roman colonial occupation, southern Transylvania shows a very dynamic and intensive synthesis of Roman provincial life, where a multitude of processes of colonization and creolization take place side by side. Prior to the Roman conquest of 102AD, it was also the most densely populated region of the Dacian Kingdoms. Our project seeks to explore the integration of all the structural provincial elements present along the main Roman axes of communication and transport. Our research area is in the immediate proximity of both the imperial road and the Mures River, the extremely important gold deposits of the Carpathian Gold Moutains, and the political and military centers of Sarmizegetusa Ulpia Traiana and Apulum. We will continue the excavation of the well preserved structures, including a villa rustica of palatial size, identified during our 2013-2019 field seasons. Our 2020 excavation and survey will aim at understanding the importance and impact of the proximity of the main axis of movement, communication and commerce on the Roman provincial rural life, and its evolution through time, as well as the local processes of identity creation. Our participants will participate to the villa excavation, geochemical and geophysical survey, Duration: 4 week sessions STP survey and laboratory analysis. This Costs: US$1695 for each 4-week session extraordinary environment with its associated It includes: monuments and material culture, combined with excavation registration, taxes, fees lectures and spectacular surrounding natural landscapes and most gear beautiful Transylvanian churches and castles, housed as guests of Romanian families in a guarantees all students and volunteers with a highly beautiful traditional Transylvanian village full room and board, Monday-Friday rewarding archaeological and cultural experience.

  • The Late Bronze Age Pottery in the South-Eastern Carpathian Basin
    SlovenSká archeológia lXVIII – 2, 2020, 253 – 296 DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/slovarch.2020.68.12 THE LATE BRONZE AGE POTTERY IN THE SOUTH-EASTERN CARPATHIAN BASIN V IC TOR SAVA after the abandonment of some of the Middle Bronze age tell settlements, a series of developments and transformations lead to the construction of mega-forts in the lower Mureș region during the 15th c. Bc, followed by their subsequent destruction/demise during the 13th c. Bc. While most investigations in the aforementioned region have focused on the evolution of the most representative sites, a large number of artefacts, especially the pottery assemblage, have not yet been analysed in detail. The current paper aims to fill this gap by presenting a detailed analysis combining the available radiocarbon dates, the contexts from where these samples were taken, and the associated pottery finds. in this way we could establish time intervals expressed in absolute dates that frame the evolution of certain pottery shapes, decora- tion techniques and ornamental motifs. as a result of this analysis, it became clear that certain characteristics of the Middle Bronze age pottery have been perpetuated during the late Bronze age. another important observation was the widespread use of channelled pottery as early as the 16th c. Bc within some communities from this region. on the other hand, other communities in the area make extensive use of incised decoration until the 14th c. Bc. as a result, two different stylistic areas could be observed in the lower Mureș region. The results obtained in this paper underline the drawbacks of traditional relative chronologies based on the evolution of certain artefact types.
