On the Two-Room Dwelling from Precinct IV of the Early Medieval Fortification in Dăbâca (Cluj County) and the Chronology of the First Stage of Fortification

Summary/Abstract: The early medieval fortification from Dăbâca has been researched through systematic excavationsduring the Communist Era, since 1964. Although the research started very well, its final publication hasbeen disappointing. The most interesting point has been the chronological classification of the oldest phase offortification dated, at that time, to the ninth – tenth centuries.This short presentation takes into consideration the two-room surface dwelling (measuring 8 × 8 m)discovered in precinct IV. Beginning with its first mentioning in 1968, none of those studying the issue of fortificationshas escalated the problem of this two-room surface dwelling.The analogies for this surface dwelling in the Moravian environment – dated between the ninth andmid-tenth century – clearly show that the Moravian model has been used in Dăbâca and can be interpreted as amanifestation of kindred links between the two geographical areas.
