ABSTRACT: In this study we aim to take a short glimpse at the wall decorations from Neolithic and Eneolithic sanctuaries and temples. Starting from the idea that the artistic act is a mean for transmitting ideas, we seek the religious meanings of prehistoric people who represent their own world through a specific filter of realistic or abstract concepts.

ABSTRACT: This study presents the large size anthropomorphic statuettes (more than 25 cm height). These were discovered in the site of Păuleni-Ciuc „Dâmbul Cetăţii”, Harghita County. The statuettes were made of clay and were discovered in fragmentary state. This paper is especially important since there are only a few objects of this type discovered within the Cucuteni-Ariuşd culture. Most of the “statuettes/ figurines/ idols” assigned to the Cucuteni-Ariuşd culture are medium-sized objects (8-25 cm).

ABSTRACT: The Băile Figa site is situated in northeast Transylvania in the Someşul Mare Basin (Pl.1). It covers the valley of a salty brook (Pârâul Sărat) which flows into the Sărata stream which, in turn, flows into the Meleş River – a major tributary of the Someşul Mare River. The site overlaps a rock salt deposit that is found at a depth of 1.5 to 10 m from the present-day terrain surface. A consistent layer of salty mud rich in Bronze Age, Iron Age, medieval and pre-modern timbers overlaps this deposit.

ABSTRACT: In a combined field research effort of three post-doctoral projects, several archaeological sites linked in previous literature with finds belonging to the late Second Iron Age Dacian culture, in south-eastern Transylvania (Braşov Depression and Sf. Gheorghe Depression), were subject of survey by employment of aerial archaeology, photogrammetry and remote sensing.

ABSTRACT: The Covasna County Archaeological Repertoire mentions a roman site in the place known as “Véczer” or “Véczer farka”. Some authors mention this site as being a “roman camp”. They say its role was to control the passage through the Olt corridor between Augustin and Racoş. The arguments of this appreciation are based mostly on “logical assumptions” rather than on verifiable arguments. Our researches of the surface give us reasons to doubt the correctness in identifying a roman camp in the “Baraolt-Véczer farka” point.
