Understanding the Anomaly
Roman amphitheatre in Romania surveyed with Earth Resistance and GPR, Arena’s infrastructure and later constructions were recorded at different depths
On the Fringes of the Empire
The Role of Past Climatic Variability in Fluvial Terrace Formation, a Case Study from River Mureş (Maros), Romania
Fluvial terrace formation is a complex process governed by the interplay of climatic and tectonic forcings. From a climatic perspective, an incision is usually related to climatic transitions, while valley aggradation is attributed to glacial periods. We have reconstructed the formation of Late Pleistocene fluvial terraces along the middle, mountainous section of a temperate zone river (Mureş/Maros) in order to identify the roles of different cli…
Geophysical Investigations within the Latus Dextrum of Porolissum Fort, Northwestern Romania—The Layout of a Roman Edifice
This paper summarizes the results of a recent geophysical investigation carried out at Porolissum, which is considered to be one of the most significant Roman sites in Romania. The geophysical survey was carried out within the latus dextrum of the fort, which is the same location that had been the subject of earlier geophysical surveys as well as older archaeological excavations (1970s) that had uncovered a multiroom building. A cesium vapor tota…
Freely available LiDAR-derived digital terrain model (DTM) uncovers the heartland of the Dacian Kingdom
Alexandru Popa, The Frontiers of the Roman Empire in Eastern Dacia. Preliminary Results of Research Conducted in the Context of the Romanian National Limes Program
The visible and invisible traces of the Roman Frontier in Dacia have been, for quite a long time, one of the most representative archaeological sites in Romania, and especially in Transylvania. On one hand, the Roman frontier in Transylvania, also known as Limes, symbolises a border between the GreekRoman world and the local civilisations found in the regions north of the Danube. On the other hand, we rather deal with a large contact zone between…
Non‐destructive research in the surroundings of the Roman Fort Tibiscum (today Romania)
The Roman military fort Tibiscum which existed from the beginning of the second up to the third quarter of the third century ad was manned by various auxiliary units, including Syrian Palmyrenians and Germanic Vindelici. Its irregular shape and relatively big surface, usual for the forts of that type, as well as not having entirely clear settlement structures visible on both sides of the Timiş River drew attention of many scholars. The non‐destru…
An object‐based approach to support the automatic delineation of magnetic anomalies
The intensive use of geophysics in archaeological investigations demands new ways of fast and meaningful data interpretation. With the increasing size and complexity of magnetometer data, manual identification and delineation of magnetic anomalies becomes a time‐consuming activity. In this respect, our study introduces a new approach to automate this laborious procedure, implemented as a ready‐to‐use tool within the eCognition® software. The appr…
A 'new' Roman Temporary Camp in Parâng Mountains
A new Roman camp was documented – mainly for its topographical features – far away from any known camp from Şureanu Mountains. It has a typical size of the encampments from around Sarmizegetusa Regia, 5 hectares, as no one reaches a full-size legionary camp. Having tituli and being made of two parts separated by a palisade, it finds also analogies in the region (as Comărnicel 1). What is really outstanding at the encampment from Cracul Găurilor i…
Mapping the subsurface structures of a lost medieval village in South‐Western Romania by combining conventional geophysical methods
The medieval fortification of Mașloc, known as the ‘Șanțul Turcilor’ (Turkish ditch) is one of the best preserved archaeological sites in the Banat region, Romania. To reconstruct the subsurface archaeological features at the Mașloc site we combined three different geophysical methods: magnetometry, ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and we used SfM (structure‐from‐motion) to achieve a detailed digital elev…
