Archaeological
- The archaeological adventure continues!
Southern Transylvania Projects enters its 5th season exploring
the evolution of a Chalcolithic community, both in space and
time.
The excavation (2002-2004) of the
Mosna site (Medias, Transylvania, Romania) has revealed several
housing structures, a plethora of spectacular artefacts (painted
and incised ceramics, stone and bone tools, a gold pendant -
unique!). Surveys and test trenches have shown several other
sites of the same community in the next valley (Valea Viilor)
which indicates the semi nomadic aspect of this culture. It is
this nomadic character that we intend to explore during the 2005
season, excavating these newly identified sites. Would you be so
kind as to inform your students of this archaeological field
opportunity and direct them to check out the excavation web
