 prezentacije včešli na mnohem, včešljati, nekaj, v zelo v 2012. Kaj sem vzelašil, da vzelaši, preventivne začnega sektora včešljenja, včešljenja, vzelaši vzelaši vzelaši vzelaši vzelaši vzelaši vzelaši. Tukaj, da se prihleda vihljena vihljena v Romanii, ali prihleda, da sem prihleda vihljena v Romanii, projekta Roša Montana, sem zelo vzelačil vzeločne situacije v 2012. Zato, da se prihleda vihljena vzelačne situacije, Wasn't known prior v late autumn 2011, and also, in a were I believe scary, in telling you, archaeology until 2014 In Romania was called, in relation to the construction of the motorways only in the construction phase. Basically no prior evaluation was done when izabilitvi studiče se zelo. Resultat, je to nekaj zelo. Če smo prišli do valeta konvenciju, tudi zame vsega legislacija. To je vstajen prinsipel. Vse moj prezentacije vse zelo, da nekaj početno prinsipel nekaj, da je protekta. In tudi, da je to vsezat, da se prišli, da je vsezat, as the main threats to aside, forgetting in a way the other stakeholders, like in this case you will see it is simply agricultural works who in fact are destroying more without paying any attention to the heritage. Just a brief definition, the archaeological heritage we have to understand it or at least I understand it as a legacy. And it's important to know that under the Romanian legislation this legacy is in a way taken care by the state. And the state, yes, it's one of the main stakeholders and as I've told you after the 90s, we've abducted in a hurry a huge bunch of legislative texts, which I dare to believe are not working properly as in a case like the one from Tartaria when you discover only in a very late stage of construction aside only partially impacted by the motorway but with remaining huge part affected by agriculture and how you can protect it. As I've told you these are very brief sketches of our legal system in Romania the idea is that yes, Valeta is recognized at the level of the authorities but in fact is not put in practice. In theory, yes, we do have the three areas of expertise, the cultural heritage legislation, the environmental one and the town planning and construction legislation but the integrated conservation principle it's a beautiful phrase without substance. It's intended to show how complex it is our system in dealing the administrative and the scientific issues in regard to the protection of archeological heritage but in a way it's also diffusing the responsibilities and the roles of the authorities at the central and the local level when they have to take a decision in regard of protecting a not priori known site. Various different layers of stakeholders let's say this is a very rough picture of the academic framework for archeology in Romania this is the administrative one but only focusing on the one related to heritage but also important to mention that both the county councils the mayories and the local councils do have in theory a lot of duties in regard to heritage which in fact they don't care about and don't take into consideration and for sure it is the public and what we are calling the community archeology and it's the general public and the general interest in regard to heritage and combined with the series of local interest like in the case this landowner you will see in Tartaria. The main problem for not having a truly protection system in Romania for protecting the archeological heritage it's the very deluvian I will say system of recording our archeological heritage we don't have a digital database related to a GIS project and the result nobody is knowing where exactly the sites even the known one are located. I have to say there were a lot of attempts to map these various levels of protected heritage but the Ministry of Culture was simply ineffective in centralizing and focusing all these approaches the result being even nowadays we don't have a national archeological repertory related to a GIS and I will dare to say because also we are speaking about the Malta Convention the result also it's a huge nowadays public fight with the metal detectors where they are allowed to detect and where is place a site simply nobody in Romania can answer you in very precise terms this being said these are let's say the key issues I've seen in a Romanian perspective what is missing in terms of trying to safeguard a site basically yes we do have the Malta Convention yes we do have the national legislation but the practice as you will see it's completely different or I will say in fact it's in a completely different direction this is a regional map of the sites of the at the very beginning of the First Myelina BC it's a dedicated ceramic style which characterizes large areas of nowadays Romania, Hungary, Serbia Northwestern Croatia this Bessarab type style and this map is just showing you the status prior to the commands of the construction of the motorway only related to in relation to this chronological phase the location of the site on the Murešvali and a picture at the very end of the excavation in August 2000 sorry in August 2007 2010 sorry, then I will show you basically this is the track of the motorway the site only impacted by the motorway are these two parts but the remaining part is this huge plateau you are seeing right now with a special remark that most probably in fact the historic landscape was impacted in late 19th century by the construction of the rainbow road and the national road along the Murešvali but absolutely no prior concern was given even to this type of information this is the map I was provided in spring 2012 in regard to the site the green area it's what was preliminary outlined as a prehistoric site to be excavated in less than four months and the pink area is what we've found out it has to be added to the research project while we were already working in the field two months after the beginning of the preventive archeological excavation I will dare to say to you that basically when I started the excavation in 2012 I was completely in blind nobody knew exactly what to expect in there this is the way the site simply looked in spring 2012 I will move forward on the details and this is the result what you see in dark blue are the trial trenches to try to understand the general stratigraphy and to the main location of the archeological features and what is in purple it's a very complex system of open area excavation to understand and document exactly what the features are and the results are this it's an area full of archeology and archeological potential with a special remark on the finds this is the special material which is the richest iron age middle iron age site in Romania now there is in terms of metallic finds both bronze and iron with a special remark to the special finds two bronze hordes and iron objects found in an outlining ditch sorry, I forgot to tell you that this is the outlining ditch it's a natural ravine with andropping intervention something, a feature completely unknown for other sites in which was possible to document only by this type of excavation the open area excavation one have to say very clearly that the funds for schedule excavations in Romania simply does not allow to document and properly understand such a structure and only and I will have to say he has preventive archeology in a way it's destructive but in a way if you decide if you project correctly your research agenda you can use those finds in properly documenting and understanding a certain historic period the second find was just three meters in the same level the second bronze hord and also you will see in here it's another particular find it's a collective grave and completely unknown for this period for the nowadays Romanian territory but during the last six to seven years comparable finds have been made in eastern and south eastern Hungary also in relation to motorway construction but also in nowadays Serbia so it's the the evidence for this particular phenomenon of the early and middle Iron Age period along the Middle Danube and Lower Danube are starting to to build a file and more more interesting when we map the bronze hord of this historical sequence we see that the area between Orashtije and Alba Iulija it's very rich in these finds and also that they are all located on the ends of the valleys river valleys coming from a mountainous area very well known for salt deposits gold deposits and nonferos deposits so yes proper archeological repertory prior to this excavation would have helped enormously in understanding this historic environment and further I've managed since the end of 2012 understanding the nature of the site I entered I will dare to say it's a personal battle to try to save the site as you see this is the part investigated throughout preventive archeological excavations and this is the remaining area on which we've performed large scale geophysics surveys in 2004 and 2016 in trying to gain the battle with archeology with sorry agricultural works as you see it is an intensive agricultural area moreover to say nobody has given attention to the meaning of the sites in the area and what the law is stating right now that for the areas found outside urban zones you have to give to an archeological site which is listed as a historic monument 500 meters and I just want to show you that this is the famous Neolithic site from Tartaria the one with the first examples of writing in Europe and with European funds they built somewhere between 2015-2016 a waste dump yes I know it's shocking and the others are two major excavations that are completely unreported from archeological surveillance in artificial ponds for fishing and the picture it's showing you the degree from 50 to 100 meter of this protection area which should exist for such sites it's a very clear demonstration in my opinion that yes we do have a law but in fact it's just words and the preliminary results of the geophysics made in 2014 and 2016 I will scare you once more these pipelines were completely unaware to all the authorities at the level of the county and the mayor house it's only the geophysics they find out so this is unfortunately the situation with our basic town planning documentation when dealing with archeology what you see it's also represented the results of the excavation in 2012 and all these are let's say the preliminary indications of geophysics and this is the once again the plateau and the location of the test excavation made in 2016 and 17 proving 100% that all the indications provided by the geophysics are true it's the same concentration of archeological materials former pits, refuse pits rest of dwellings with very rich archeological materials both in terms of pottery and metal instead of conclusions yes we do have a legal system but we are narrowing the images in seeing exactly how it's functioning the sad truth is it does not function and I do believe still I do believe that throughout a very staged approach and using my expertise both as an archeologist but as a heritage consultant I will manage at least to save part of this completely amazing site Thank you very much
