Archaeological digs in Romania, especially in Oltenia

Thermae from the Roman Empire - It is amazing to see how close the images of Roman Thermae are around the world, as though they were made by the same architect. This is not surprising, since from Gallia to Tunis, from Rome to the Red Sea, even ancient Roman bricks are the same, and the Romans were careful to make all buildings, roads and towns of standard dimensions, no matter where they were. This was commented on by the Roman architect, Vitruvius.

The Twin Trees Site - When exiting from Perisor village, Dr Gheorghe found a large valley, between two small hills, bordered by forests, with a small well in the middle, and a site with some ancient pottery pieces. This site must be investigated in November when there is less grass obscuring the artefacts.

A new ancient site has been found at Puturoasa. Here there are a few fragments of pottery of good quality, as well as a few fragments of ancient bricks and limestone blocks from buildings. It is unknown at present whether the site has been registered by the authorities.

A huge site in the Lipovu area from the Bronze Age has been the subject of a preliminary investigation. Much of the site has been destroyed by the exploitation of the limestone there, but part of it is still in existence.
