The manufacture of lime on the Budureasca Valley (Prahova County) by late medieval and early modern period

Summary/Abstract: During the medieval and modern periods, in the area south and east of the Carpathians, the manufacture of lime, closely related to the emergence and diffusion of masonry architecture, is commonly associated with military fortifications, bourgs, towns and ecclesiastic centres. Nevertheless, research carried out in recent years on the Budureasca valley record the presence of this craft in a rural setting as well, in a relatively peripheral area compared to main trade and communication routes. In 2006 and 2020, via the archaeological excavations conducted on said valley were investigated two lime firing kilns, which most likely date by late medieval and first part of the modern era.
