Landmarks in the Development of Carthographic Representations of the Dacian Settlement in Ardeu (Municipality of Balşa, Hunedoara County)

Summary/Abstract: The cartographic sources analyzed in this article, that include the micro‑sector of Ardeu, can be grouped in three categories: sources with low accuracy, general sources and professional/modern ones created for military goals, and administrative and scientific sources. Each stage is characterized by its own manner of representation and the level and accuracy of its details. According to the topographic base and the means/methods of representation, I followed, from the Josephinische Landaufnahme (The Josephine Map) until the latest topographic survey of the site (2001), the development of all details of archaeological and historical significance for the micro‑area covered by the archaeological site under discussion.
