ABSTRACT: Several hypotheses regarding the variety of functions fulfilled by the seven wooden troughs found until now in the prehistoric salt mines at Băile Figa, Bistrița-Năsaud County, Romania and dated in the Bronze Age, have been advanced. However, until now, no valid and convincing arguments in favour of a functional system in which troughs could be understood as part of the rock salt and brine extraction and/or exploitation processes, have been presented. Even if their connection with the salt areas is indubitable, because they were usually discovered in secondary contexts, their exact application was not immediately apparent.

ABSTRACT:  The article reports on recent geophysical investigations undertaken in the central part of Brașov Depression, in south-eastern Transylvania, at Reci (Covasna County), and offers preliminary information about a rescue excavation which was previously done in the vicinity of the newly prospected areas. A gradiometric survey and a series of magnetic susceptibility measurements were completed on a river terrace, nearby the site of Doboika, where 109 pits dating from various moments of the Iron Age and one from Eneolithic were researched in 2015 by the National Museum of Eastern Carpathians in Sfântu Gheorghe. Some of these pits had as content a certain selection of items’ categories which, despite changes in styling and manufacturing techniques due to time passing, could be recognized as a common model employed in three different stages of the Iron Age: 11th-10th c. BC (Gáva circle), 5th-4th c. BC and 1st c. BC – 1st c. AD (so called Dacian period).

Environmental impact in building a new frontier

ABSTRACT:  A three years research project along the plain section of the Roman frontier known as Limes Transalutanus has reached some peculiar conclusions. Between them one can count the fact that some sectors, summing three quarters of length of the northern section, although crossing open fields, has no obvious frontier obstacle. The common explanation, about ‘the state of art’, does not work this time, therefore one will need a rationale for that ‘anomaly’. 

Several contributions concerning the cultural contacts between the Roman Empire and the territories located north of the Lower Danube during the late Roman period

ABSTRACT:  The study discusses the challenges of interpreting the functionality of those edifices built in Roman style, found however outside the provincial borders, in particular the contribution of such buildings to the identification and interpretation of contacts between the Roman Empire and its northern neighbours, in the area of the Lower Danube, their identities, interests and experiences. The analysis is grounded on the archaeological features and contexts encountered in the middle 4th c. AD site of Sobari (Republic of Moldova) on the Middle Dniester, resuming a previously explored situation, to which new data, emerging from recent excavations and geophysical investigations can be added.

ABSTRACT:  Archaeozoological analyses for sites dated in the 3rd-4th centuries BC in south-east Transylvania are very scarce. Only two other lots of faunal materials had been previously analysed, both originating from Harghita County (Cristuru-Secuiesc–Felső-Lok and Odorheiu-Secuiesc–Câmpia Kadicsfalva/Alsó-Lok). The following study presents the analysis of a consistent lot (1825 faunal remains) discovered at Olteni–Cariera de nisip, 10 km north of Sfântu Gheorghe.
