Large Rivers, Small Rivers
The spatial distribution of Chalcolithic settlements in the East Lower Danube Plain (SE Romania) shows markedly higher densities along small river valleys with low modern discharges, such as the Călmățui, Mostiștea, and Teleorman, which originate in the upper plains (150–300 m a.s.l.). In contrast, valleys of larger Carpathian-sourced rivers (e.g., Buzău, Ialomița, Argeș), host far fewer settlements. Our research explores whether these patterns r…
Building context from different sources
Surface and subsurface mapping to investigate late Hallstatt hillfort settlements, Characterizing the spatial configuration within a GIS framework
From Survey to Rescue Excavation
The current study employs a geophysical approach, integrating magnetic and Electrical Resistivity Tomography techniques, to unveil the Timișoara‐Freidorf La Tène culture settlement in the lowlands of the Banat region, southwestern Romania, within the context of a rescue excavation. A multi‐method approach was adopted in order to enhance archaeological precision. Geophysics proved essential in unveiling historical layers facing imminent destructio…
On the Fringes of the Empire
Above ground and underground – An integrated approach of the burial mounds within the Suusamyr plateau, Kyrgyzstan
Mapping burial mounds based on UAV-derived data in the Suusamyr Plateau, Kyrgyzstan
Palaeoecological evidence from buried topsoils and colluvial layers at the Bronze Age fortification Corneşti-Iarcuri, SW Romania
Sensitivity of geomorphons to mapping specific landforms from a digital elevation model
The current paper explores the suitability of geomorphons for the automatic extraction of drumlins. To calibrate the geomorphons to the size of drumlins, it is necessary to optimally define the maximum scale of mapping, i.e., the lookup distance parameter (L). Therefore, based on the concept of topographic grain, we introduce a new automated approach for identifying the specific threshold of L (13 cells) and assessing its potential to generate co…
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…
