PUBLIC SPACE – PRIVATE SPACE IN THE DAVA OF CÂRLOMĂNEŞTI, BUZĂU COUNTY

Summary/Abstract: The latest excavations made in the dava of Cârlomăneşti led us to identify a number of habitation structures situated in the central area of the “Cetăţuia” Plateau. There are the remains of three big buildings, probably public ones, with a cult-related functionality The most impressive is the apse edifice (Edifice no. 1), but only its foundation remained. The building had a rectangular shape, with an apse side. It has the shape of a foundation ditch filled with yellow earth. Under this building, the archaeologists revealed partially superposed remains of two other edifices (Structures no. 17 and no. 18). At the bottom of these structures one revealed portions of the floor, as well as three decorated hearths, one in the Structure no. 17 and two others in the Structure no. 18. It is difficult now to specify their dimensions, because they are partially caught in the perimeter of the V4bS area. If we take into account the data obtained so far, we could consider the length of these buildings somewhere between 9 and 11 meters. The presence in this area of three moments of functioning for important cult edifices, with decorated hearths, indicates a certain “assignment” of this space, a consecrated one.
