CONSIDERATIONS ON THE TOPOGRAPHY, TOPONIMY AND SECTORS OF THE COMPLEX OF PREHISTORIC SETTLEMENTS FROM LIMBA- OARDA DE JOS (ALBA COUNTY)

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the complex problematics of the results of the more than 50 years of research on the prehistoric settlements existing between Limba and Oarda villages, situated along the lowest terrace of the Mures River, covering a surface around 2000x50 m. After 8 years from the last excavation, the author is decided to reopen the scientific research in this ensemble of prehistoric archaeological sites, rich in the deposits of the human activities from the early Neolithic to the Medieval times. The medium thickness of the archaeological layers is around 2,5 m, proving a very intensive human habitation, especially in the Neolithic and Copper Age, but also in the Bronze and Iron Age. After the description of the geo-morphological characteristics, the author presents all the sectors (points) of the ensemble, the topographic coordinates, particularly the stratigraphic successions of the cultural layers. At the end, a brief history of archaeological research is presented, field surveys and systematical excavations, the actual stage of knowledge about the evolution of the human communities and the general outlines of a new archaeological project, using modern methodologies and techniques of research.
