CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPERTORY OF BUZĂU COUNTY. ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SURVEYS ON THE TERRITORY OF COCHIRLEANCA COMMUNE

Summary/Abstract: Between 10 and 17 february 2016, the authors conducted an extended archaeological field survey on the territory of Cochirleanca commune. During the research, two known archaeological sites were verified and nine new sites were identified. The oldest traces of human presence in this area of the Romanian Plain date from the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC, being evidenced by a series of funerary mounds. From the 6th-5th centuries BC several finds were noted on the Cochirleanca Valley and near the village of Boboc. The most consistent archaeological traces date back to the first millennium BC and were identified on the Cochirleanca and Coştei valleys. The Middle Ages are documented by few discoveries, these being located in the site of Roşioru and dated between 16th and 18th centuries. Another interesting discovery is the treasure of 77 Ottoman silver coins found in 1992 in the Roşioru village and dated in the the 18th century.
