Descriptions of sites:
TROPAEUM TRAIANI is a fortified Roman city near the Black Sea, SE Romania.
Near the city is an immense triumphal monument, built by Roman veterans of
the first war against the Dacians (101-102 AD) and an on-site museum which
houses original sculpture from the monument. There are on-going excavations
in the city center every summer. In addition, we will be conducting surveys
of the surrounding territory to record archaeological sites in the vicinity
of the city. Excursions available for participants to museums and all 3
ancient Greek and Roman cities on Romania's Black Sea
coast: Histria, Tomis, and Callatis, as well as a boat excursion through
the Danube Delta.
SCANTEIA is a Late Neolithic village in northern Moldavia, near the city of
Iasi. Carbon-14 dates: 4350-4200 BC. This site belongs to the
"Cucuteni-Tripolye Culture" which is renowned for its superb tricolor
pottery--the most technologically and artistically advanced ceramics of its
time. The excavations consist of prehistoric houses rich in archaeological
finds. Excursion to Moldvavia's 15th century painted monasteries (UNESCO
World Art Heritage sites) is available for participants.
We are committed to COMMUNITY ARCHAEOLOGY by providing assistance and
outreach to local communities. Excavations are sponsored by Terra Europaea,
a U.S. registered, non-profit organization supporting an aid program for
rural Romanian schools and summer employment for local teenagers in rural
villages near the excavations, and an educational book donation program to
schools and museums.
