The Dacian Fortress at Cucuiș – Dealul Golu (Hunedoara County) in the light of LiDAR data

Summary/Abstract: The Dacian fortress at Cucuiș- Dealul Golu (Hunedoara County) is a lesser-known fortified hilltop situated notfar from the capital of the Dacian Kingdom. Discovered in the 1970s, it underwent several systematic research campaigns in the 1990s; however, the published information remains scarce. There is no record of a published plan, and the research reports do not include any visual documentation. The entirety of Hunedoara County is now covered by ANCPI’s recently released digital terrain model, which was generated from LiDAR data. This offersa remarkable potential for conducting archaeological landscape research, particularly with regard to the Dacianera. By utilizing the most recent data, this article presents a fresh viewpoint on the layout of the Dacian fortress at Cucuiș, specifically highlighting the terraces, fortifications, and pathways.
