Preventive archaeological research at Nufăru, Tulcea County (II)

Summary/Abstract: The authors present the results of an excavation carried out in an entirely overlapped archaeological site from the northern part of the Romanian province of Dobrudja. The archaeological research was occasioned by the sewerage system project of the village. After a summary of the archaeological data (a fortress built in the last quarter of the 10th century, after the Byzantine reconquering of the Lower Danube region; habitation structures; cemeteries; archaeological finds dating from the 10th to the middle of the 13th centuries), the article presents new evidence found in the street network: the Iron Age (a habitation level and ceramic material), the Byzantine Age (sections of the wall on the northern and southern sides, habitation structures, garbage pits, inhumation graves), , the Modern Age (graves). The archaeological research campaigns between 2008-2011 confirmed and enriched the already known data about the ramparts of the Byzantine fortress, the stratigraphy, the topography and the chronology of the site. The more accurate image about the archaeological site’s potential offered a better base for adapting the constructive project in order to protect the vestiges
