Descoperiri arheologice la Turda. Punctul Valea sărată
Archaeological Discoveries in Turda. The Valea Sărată Point

Summary/Abstract: At about 5 km distance, north-east of Turda, at the interflow confluence of the Salted Valley with a sweetwater brook as a result of a gravel pit excavation, executed without an authorization in 2009, the destruction of an archaeological site was signaled. The area was affected over a surface of about 2,5 ha. The excavated field was situated on a hilltop out of which only the inferior part has been preserved. The depth of exploitation reached about 6-7 m. This intervention destroyed a medieval cemetery which was not signaled on the archaeological map of Turda. Here also there were discovered numerous artefacts dating back in the Roman times, such as ceramic pottery fragments and construction materials (profiled blocks, bricks, tiles, pantiles etc.), most probably reused for the construction of a medieval edifice which was part of a settlement that no longer exists.
