Preliminary report on the rescue archaeological excavations in Dudeștii Vechi – 54

Summary/Abstract: The archaeological research conducted during the winter of 2020 was determined by the construction of platforms for the extraction of oil and natural gas. Three areas were excavated, with a total surface of 495 m2 . The discovered features may be ascribed to the 4th and 11th–12th century. From the total of 3rd – 4th century features, 11 are burials (inhumations in simple rectangular gravepits or within circular ditches that surround them). We also connected to magical-funerary aspects a rectangular feature overlapped by a grave surrounded by a circular ditch, where two small dogs were buried. The rest of the 3rd – 4th century features may be interpreted as domestic waste pits. The medieval features belong entirely to the household sphere, three houses and several waste pits being discovered.
