    CERCETĂRI INTERDISCIPLINARE LA SITUL DIN EPOCA FIERULUI SAHARNA MARE / „DEALUL MĂNĂSTIRII”
    (2018) Zanoci, Aurel; Rafailă-Stanc, Simina Margareta; Nagacevschi, Tatiana; Sochircă, Vitalie
    Situl Saharna Mare / „Dealul Mănăstirii”, amplasat pe un promontoriu ce face parte din terasa înaltă a malului drept al Nistrului, a fost cercetat pe parcursul mai multor campanii arheologice, pe o suprafaţă totală de 2658 m2 . În urma acestor investigaţii s-a stabilit perindarea pe promontoriul Saharna Mare a mai multor fortificaţii şi aşezări deschise, care se încadrează în intervalul de timp cuprins între a doua jumătate a sec. XII şi sec. III a. Chr. În anul 2017, având ca reper harta magnetometrică a sitului, cercetările s-au axat pe investigarea unei porţiuni a aşezării, unde au fost identificate anomalii pozitive ce denotă prezenţa unor structuri arse. Ca urmare au fost descoperite cinci construcţii, 11 gropi menajere, precum şi un bogat şi variat inventar arheologic. De asemenea, din secţiune (29/2017) au fost recoltate 1396 resturi faunistice şi au fost prelevate probe de sol, care au fost analizate de specialiştii în domeniu de la Facultăţile de Biologie a Universităţii „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” din Iaşi şi a Universităţii de Stat din Moldova.

    INVESTIGAŢIILE ARHEOLOGICE LA SITUL SAHARNA MARE / „DEALUL MĂNĂSTIRII”, RAIONUL REZINA (2017-2019)*
    (2019) Niculiţă, Ion; Zanoci, Aurel; Băţ, Mihail; Dulgher, Victor
    The archaeological research conducted in 2017-2019 was concentrated in the southwest part of the site, where as a result of the geomagnetic measurements a positive anomaly was attested that denotes the presence of burned structures. Following the archaeological excavations (256 m2) in this part of the settlement, three layers of living were identified: Holercani-Hansca, Cozia-Saharna and Thracian-Getae. It was discovered a pit (7/2018) belonging to the Holercani-Hansca horizon whose filling contained ceramics characteristic of this culture. For the Cozia-Saharna layer was found a structure (4/2017-2019), 12 pits, a burial, and various archaeological inventory represented by work tools, weapons and ceramics ornamented with incised and stamped ornaments. In the Thracian-Getae layer were uncovered three structures, 13 pits and a rich archaeological findings. Among the inventory items are tools and utensils made of different raw materials – iron, bronze, bone and horn, stone and burnt clay. From this layer come several weapons, in particular, tips of bronze arrows, as well as pieces of jewelry, represented by fibuale, bracelets, rings etc. Also, from the Thracian-Getae layer was recovered a significant amount of local ceramics and Greek imports

    A PLACE OF LIFE AND DEATH. BURIALS AND HUMAN BONE FINDS IN THE IRON AGE SETTLEMENT AT SAHARNA MARE / ”DEALUL MĂNĂSTIRII”: ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
    (2019) Băţ, Mihail; Simalcsik, Angela; Zanoci, Aurel
    Among the numerous vestiges of the Iron Age at Saharna Mare / “Dealul Mănăstirii”, there are 11 finds of human remains, which are of particular interest for the interdisciplinary research of the site. In this article, we propose combining archaeological data with anthropological ones. The analyzed skeletal material comes from six types of archaeological contexts: “cultic structure”,“ditch”, “rampart”, “grave”, “dwelling”, and “cultural layer” (Fig. 2; 3). In all the analyzed cases the identified osteological remains come from a single individual. In total, seven individuals were identified, one of whom is female and six are male. Regarding age distribution, most individuals fall within the age range of 30-60 years (maturus). One individual falls within the age range of 20-30 years (adultus), and another one has passed the age of 60 (senilis). As a result of the paleopathological analyses, a wide spectrum of dental pathologies (supragingival calculus, cavities, abscess, antemortem tooth loss) and bone pathologies (osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc herniation, porotic hyperostosis) were recorded. The analysis of occupational indicators showed over-demanding physical activities, spatial mobility, and horseback riding. Traces of violent death, such as cranial and postcranial fractures, have been reported in several cases. There were also identified injuries with signs of healing.
