Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- The 2010 archaeological excavations at “Ciofliceni – East of the village” covered an area of 9,757 sqm., lying on a higher plateau, ...with mild slopes, lowering towards the Orzarului Valley to the East and the Snagov Lake to the North. The recovered archaeological material consisted of pottery, flint and stone artifacts. The recorded archaeological complexes belong to the Bronze Age (two dwellings, one kiln, 19 garbage pits, pottery fragments, faunal remains, flint artifacts) and the 6th – 7th centuries AD ( two dwellings, two kilns, two garbage pits, pottery fragments, faunal remains). Some of the complexes (six pits and a kiln), lacking any archaeological material, could not be dated.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Some brick structures were identified during the archaeological excavation in Bucharest, Pasajul Francez Street. Most of them are ...concentrated in the north part of the street, next to the cross with Gabroveni Street. Here we found remains from four buildings, one over another, an interesting proof of building dynamic in this area of the former princely court. One structure, found in the south part of the street, was, according to D.V. Rosetti, probably one of the buildings from the princely court ensemble. Tree inhumation graves were found too. All have West (skull) – East orientation. Only one (M. 1) was found almost entire, but with no funerary goods, just a bronze hook. We can date these graves, based on stratigraphy, to the 18th – 19th centuries.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Archaeological excavation of Gabroveni Street, in the old centre of Bucharest, revealed different stages of evolution of this ...important street going along the north part of the princely court in Bucharest. From an epoch when the Gabroveni street was, probably, just a road beside the enclosure of the princely court dated four sunken buildings, severely damaged by later interferences, each having a fire place built on bricks. On all south part of Gabroveni Street we found remains of the wooden fortification of the princely court. It is a structure made from big logs fixed in a trench, mentioned by foreign travelers in the 16th century. Later, a brick wall was built to protect the princely court. This wall generally follows the alignment of the wooden fortification, and in some area even cover it. It suffers a major restoration during the reign of Constantine Brâncovan. After the princely court was partitioned and sold, new buildings appeared which reused the wall of the former princely court. In almost all of the excavated surfaces we met remains of the wooden structure that cover the street in 18th and 19th century. An extraordinarily well preserved area of this “wooden street” and of the enclosure wall of the princely court was proposed for conservation.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Archaeological excavation in the area of Sf. Dumitru and N. Tonitza streets, in Bucharest, uncovered an important mediaeval ...cemetery, developed around the old parish church of Sf. Dumitru and some brick structures. Here we discovered many types of buildings like enclosure walls, brick foundations of different houses, a fountain and a sanitary installation (toilet), showing a great dynamic of streets alignment. The Cemetery: 217 graves were investigated, 192 on Sf. Dumitru street and 25 on N. Tonitza St. The dead were found in a supine position, heads to the east, legs to the west, with one exception, an individual lying on the left side, legs and arms flexed. Position of arms for the supine individuals varied: from both arms on the chest/basin, to one to the chest and the other to the neck/shoulder or even both flexed to the shoulders. In two cases legs were crossed in the ankle area. Personal items occurred in 34 graves: belt buckles, hair pins, cuffs, earrings, seal rings, hair combs, bone buttons, coloured glass beads. 46 graves yielded coins (with 38 yielding one coin, 4 graves two, one with three and 1 with six), most of them found in the chest area, around the head or more rarely, the lower leg area. No formal organization of the cemetery was identified. Anthropological analysis of 35 graves provided data on 52 individuals: age, sex determination (where possible), interesting elements of palaeopathology. Based on the coins from the graves, the cemetery was dated to the 16th–18th centuries, with a starting date earlier than the historical documents suggested as a foundation time for the St. Dumitru church.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Lipscani Street (Historic Centre) Rescue archaeological excavations on the Nos. 32-34 Lipscani St. brought to light the remains of ...17th century wooden habitations as well as walls of various buildings dating to the 17th – 19th centuries, a medieval water pipe, several archaeological complexes with pottery fragments and coins from the 17th – 19th centuries. The results obtained during the 2010 excavations on Lipscani Street complete those of the 2008 excavations, improving our knowledge on the urban structure of medieval Bucharest. In 2010 we made archaeological investigations of the building wrongly called “Gabroveni Inn”, which established that there were dwellings in that place, with deeper floors, dating to the beginnings of urban life in Bucharest. In the 18th century, on this place there was a building with commercial role, from which it was possible to investigate only two caves, and another part of the same building, with a single cave. The actual building was erected between 1847 and 1852.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Noile cercetări de pe tell-ul eneolitic „ Măgura Gorgana”, lângă satul Pietrele la Dunărea de Jos au început în anul 2002, printr-un proiect de colaborare între Institutul German de Arheologie, ...Secţia Eurasia, Institutul de Arheologie „ Vasile Pârvan” al Academiei Române şi Institutul de Geografie Fizică al Universităţii „ Johann Wolfgang Goethe” din Frankfurt a. M. Scopul cercetărilor este obţinerea de informaţii asupra cronologiei culturii Gumelniţa, asupra arhitecturii clădirilor, a organizării aşezării, cât şi asupra strategiilor economice şi a folosirii spaţiului de către locuitorii din a doua jumătate al mileniului V î. e. n. În cadrul săpăturilor au putut fi întreprinse cercetări geomagnetice pe tell precum şi în imediata apropiere a acestuia. Şirurile de clădiri de pe colină, vizibile în magnetogram, au fost verificate prin săpături. Neaşteptată a fost identificarea unei aşezări întinse la poalele tell-ului şi a unei necropole cu cel puţin 50 de morminte, la vest de tell. Pe o imagine de satelit Corona din 1967 a fost vizibilă o amenajare cu şanţ circular. Prospecţiunea geomagnetică a confirmat existenţa a trei şanţuri concentrice. Aşezarea a fost, deci, cu mult mai mare decât s-a presupus iniţial. Pluralitatea activităţilor specializate, documentate pe tell, sugerează existenţa unei populaţii mult mai numeroase. Descoperirea aşezării întinse din jurul tell-lui ridică o nouă serie de întrebări privind rolul aşezării de pe colină precum şi al locuitorilor săi şi va contribui la o revizuire fundamentală a imaginii asupra aşezărilor eneolitice de tip tell. Cercetările fluvial-morfologice au dus la o nouă cunoaştere a dezvoltării luncii Dunării şi a sistemului fluvial din zona Pietrele. Forajele şi măsurătorile geofizice din jurul tell-ului au arătat că prin sedimentele din zona inundabilă precum şi prin solurile şi sedimentele (coluviile) de pe terasele adiacente se află la îndemână arhive remarcabile, care permit afirmaţii fundamentate atât asupra potenţialului de folosinţă al spaţiului, dar şi asupra impactului uman asupra gospodăririi ţinutului, intensificat ulterior epocii neolitice.
Seit 2002 wird die kupferzeitliche Siedlung Măgura Gorgana bei Pietrele an der Unteren Donau erforscht. Die Grabung ist ein Gemeinschaftsunternehmen der Eurasien-Abteilung des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, des Archäologischen Instituts „ Vasile Pârvan” der Rumänischen Akademie und dem Institut für Physische Geographie der „ Johann Wolfgang Goethe” Universität in Frankfurt a. M. Ziel der Grabungen ist es, Beiträge zur Chronologie der Gumelniţa-Kultur, zur Hausarchitektur und Siedlungsorganisation und den wirtschaftlichen Strategien der Bewohner in der zweiten Hälfte des 5. Jahrtausends zu erarbeiten. Im Zuge der Ausgrabungen wurden geomagnetische Untersuchungen auf dem Tell sowie in dessen Umgebung durchgeführt. Die im Magnetogramm sichtbaren Häuserzeilen auf dem Siedlungshügel konnten durch die Grabung bestätigt werden. Neu war die Entdeckung einer ausgedehnten Besiedlung um den Wohnhügel. Auch ein Gräberfeld mit ca. 50 Bestattungen konnte im Westen des Tells identifiziert werden. Schließlich wurde auf Corona Satellitenbildern in der unmittelbaren Umgebung des Tells eine Kreisgrabenanlage entdeckt. Eine geomagnetische Messung ergab die Existenz von drei konzentrischen Gräben. Die Siedlung war wesentlich größer als bislang für Siedlungen der Gumelniţa-Kultur angenommen wurde. Die Vielzahl der durch die Ausgrabung auf dem Tell nachgewiesenen spezialisierten Tätigkeiten ist vor dem Hintergrund einer deutlich größeren Einwohnerzahl plausibel zu erklären. Vor allem die Entdeckung der ausgedehnten „ Außensiedlung“ führt zu einem Bündel von Fragen, welche die Rolle des Wohnhügels und seiner Bewohner betreffen und das bisherige Bild kupferzeitlicher Tellsiedlungen grundlegend revidieren werden. Darüber hinaus konnten durch die fluvialmorphologischen Untersuchungen weitreichende neue Erkenntnisse zur Entwicklung der Aue und des fluvialen Systems im Raum Pietrele gewonnen werden. Die Bohrungen und geophysikali schen Messungen im Umfeld des Tells zeigten aber auch, dass mit den Sedimenten der Überflutungsebene sowie den Böden und Bodensedimenten (Kolluvien) auf den angrenzenden Talhängen hervorragende Archive vorliegen, die fundierte Aussagen zum Nutzungspotenzial einerseits und zu Auswirkungen der seit dem Neolithikum zunehmenden Siedlungstätigkeit und Landnutzung auf den Landschaftshaushalt andererseits gestatten.
Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Șerban Vodă Inn was first built by Șerban Cantacuzino starting with 1683, and demolished 200 years later, on its area being erected ...the National Bank Palace. Archaeological excavations from the Lipscani Street allow the discovery of an important part of the southern side of this important monument consisting in foundations of 11 rooms, 7 basements and an entrance in the cellar level. The cellars 1 to 6 dated from the first phase of the building, but the cellar 7 and the entry were built later and have suffered modifications in the final phase of this edifice. Those first six cellars, very well preserved, still have parts of wall paint decorations. Having religious theme, this decoration was made in a fresco technique and was dated to the 17th century. This is a unique discovery in the Historic Centre of Bucharest. Because of their dimensions (4.10 x 4.10 m floor square and 5.50 m height), state of conservation and fragments of painted decorations, this cellar area was proposed for conservation, restoration and valorisation.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Bara Lucreția estate The plot of land in question mostly consists of a steep slope. In several sections and sondages we uncovered ...eight funerary complexes. These belong to a larger area, found just above the limits of the estate in question, on a spot investigated by the colleagues from the National History Museum of Romania. All the funerary complexes are cremation graves. In a few cases we found works in steps, and the grave goods were deposited especially on the upper edge. The grave goods are usually scarce, sometimes even lacking. The categories of artifacts are little varied, more often than not represented by jugs and lamps. Chronologically it is probable that they date to the 2nd century AD. Zlaczki Andrei estate In several successive sections, we found two deposits of considerable sizes. In one of these we found a considerable amount of stones that, at least in part, might be interpreted as belonging to a wall. It is possible that in the deepest level related to the previously-recorded “pavement”. Both these levels belong stratigraphically to the Roman period. Next to this complex (without being able to establish a clear relation) we found a fragment from a votive altar dedicated to Fortuna Augusta.- Proprietatea Bara Lucreția Terenul respectiv se prezintă în cea mai mare parte a sa sub forma unei pante cu o înclinare considerabilă. În mai multe secțiuni și casete au ieșit la iveală un număr de opt complexe funerare. Acestea aparțin unei arii mai mari, aflate în cea mai mare parte puțin mai sus de limitele proprietății respective, pe o parcelă investigată de colegii de la MNIR. Toate complexele funerare sunt de incinerație. În câteva cazuri se întâlnesc amenajări cu treaptă, iar inventarul a fost depus mai ales pe marginea de mai sus. Piesele de inventar sunt în ansamblu puține sau, uneori, chiar absente. Categoriile de obiecte sunt și ele prea puțin variate, cel mai adesea reprezentate de ulcioare și opaițe. Din punct de vedere cronologic este destul de probabilă o încadrare în cursul secolului al II-lea p. Chr. Proprietatea Zlaczki Andrei Prin mai multe secțiuni succesive, au fost sesizate două complexe de dimensiuni considerabile. Într-unul din acestea a apărut o cantitate însemnată de pietre, care, măcar în parte ar putea fi interpretate a fi aparținut unui zid. S-ar putea crede, de asemenea, că în nivelul mai profund față de cel amintit ar fi existat un "pavaj". Amândouă dintre aceste niveluri corespund, din punct de stratigrafic, epocii romane. Alături de complexul menționat (fără putea stabili o relație clară) a fost găsit un fragment de altar votiv dedicat Fortunei Augusta.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Archaeological excavations on Lipscani Street, the area between Smârdan Street and I.C. Brătianu Boulevard were done in September - ...October 2008. All along the street we excavated the foundations of different kind of buildings, with or without basement, most of them being dated to the 18th and 19th centuries. On the north side of the street, close to the crossroad with Smârdan Street, archaeological investigations found an aqueduct from the 17th-18th centuries and a fountain from the 16th century. The foundations of the Gabroveni Inn were investigated, too. It was possible to make some observations considering the architectural transformations of this monument from the 18th century on. In the space between buildings we documented important parts from the wood pavement of the street.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
