Geophysical prospection for development-led archaeology. The section 3 of Sibiu-Pitești highway, Romania
Inclusion of non-intrusive techniques in development-led (preventive) archaeology; enhancing the precision and efficiency of archaeological excavation
Lidar Views of Bronze and Iron Age Hill-Top Sites in the South-Eastern Carpathians
The article offers a glimpse into the potential of a series of recent LiDAR based explorations, in cases combined with geophysical prospections, pin-pointed excavation and radiocarbon dating of enclosures, to contribute to the better understanding of the anthropic modified relief morphology and layout of several hill-top sites from South-Eastern Transylvania dated in the Bronze and Iron Ages. The study area, which is mostly forested, gathers one …
Unhiding Forested Landscapes. The Archaeological Index of South-Eastern Carpathians
Starting with late 2018, a new archaeological research project has been unfolding in the framework funded by the Romanian Governmental Unit for Research and Development (UEFISCDI) dedicated to top fundamental research, as one of the few winners of 2016 edition (the single to date) of ‘Complex Projects for Frontier Research’ competition. The Project, whose aims and methods will be shortly presented further, is entitled ‘Hidden Landscapes: Explorat…
Delimited Funerary Spaces – Hellenistic Tumuli with Stone Enclosures at Kallatis
This article analyzes the practice of delimiting tumuli graves with stone enclosures, mainly in the Classical and Hellenistic cemeteries of Kallatis/ Callatis (Mangalia), a Dorian establishment on the western Black Sea, following the recent exploration of a monumental tumulus ensemble, the Documaci Mound, built at the end of the 4th c. BC-early 3rd c. BC at 3 km west of the ancient city limits. The mound, covering a chamber tomb with semi-cylindr…
Tumuli, Roads and Plots. Decoding the Monumental Funerary Space of the 4th-3rd Centuries Bc Kallatis
The study focusses on the monumental elements of the 4th-3rd centuries BC cemeteries of Kallatis: the use of large tumuli, the implementation of a systematized network of funerary plots, the extent of the burial grounds, the discovery of a series of built chamber tombs under tumuli with elements of decorated architecture, including mural paintings and exceptional presence of a statue topping a tumulus. The detection and morphological characterisa…
Systematic Field Survey on Limes Transalutanus. Săpata Case
Two adjoined forts and their surroundings, elements of the 3rd century Roman frontier in Dacia – Limes Transalutanus, which were last archaeologically investigated in 1930, were recently systematic surface surveyed, resulting in the identification of the associated civilian settlement in what seemed, at first glance, as an unexpected location, more distant than other military vici the team had previously identified along the same frontier line.No…
The Drones Are Coming. What to Choose? Low and Medium Altitude Aerial Archaeology on Limes Transalutanus
Aerial archaeology has more than one century of tradition as a valuable research method. Like archaeology, the aerial reconnaissance is undergoing dynamic changes. The field must face the profound conceptual challenges raised by the evolving demands of archaeologists. In addition, aerial archaeology has to adapt its own methods in order to constantly incorporate new technologies such as: thermal vision, LiDAR and also advanced photogrammetry proc…
Landscape Archaeology Along Limes Transalutanus
The project addresses the historical monuments comprised in the longest Roman ‘linear defence’ structure present on the Romanian territory. Despite it being the longest, this historic structure is the least protected and the least known in its technical details. Was indeed Limes Transalutanus an incomplete limes (lacking civilian settlements, for example), an odd construction (a vallum without fossa), an early-alarm line rather than a proper defe…
