Excavations at the Medieval Fortress in Feldioara/Marienburg, 2007

Summary/Abstract: The report presents the results of the excavation that took place in 2007 at the medieval fortress of Feldioara/ Marienburg. The primary objective was to obtain samples of environmental data – animal and plant remains – from identifiable, transitional contexts, assessing the ecological impact of the castle’s construction. Five trenches were opened at the fortress site, yielding prehistoric (Neolithic, Bronze Age, Hallstatt, La Tène) and medieval pottery, a few metal objects, animal bones and a coin issued during the reign of Carol Robert. In one of the trenches was re-identified the wall dating from the first phase assigned to the Teutonic Knights.
