Item CERCETĂRI DE SALVARE LA LIPOVENI (R-NUL CIMIŞLIA) EFECTUATE ÎN ANUL 2013. DATE PRELIMINARE(2014) Matveev, Sergiu; Vornic, VladIn 1956, in the Lipoveni village two archaeological sites were identified, conventionally called Lipoveni I and Lipoveni II. The first object is located at the northwest edge of the village and it was attributed to the Sântana de Mureş-Cerneahov culture from the late Roman era (III-IV centuries AD). The second one, Lipoveni II, is located at about 0.7 km north of the village, including a cemetery and a settlement of the Sântana de Mureş-Cerneahov type, and traces from the first and second periods of Iron Age (XII–VI and V-III centuries BC), as from the late Middle Ages (XVI-XVIII centuries). Given the fact that the Lipoveni II site was and still is strongly affected by an unauthorized sand quarry, in the summer of 2013 saving researches were carried out, two sections having being cut. Section I, square-formed (2x2 m), was effectuated in the central north of the quarry, in an area, where sand extraction works have revealed burn marks and crust cuts of a strongly burned hearth. After the excavation of the first layer, two archaeological complexes were identified: a clay outdoor hearth and a pit of unspecified destination (no.1), where two Cucuteni pottery fragments have been found (IV mil. BC). Section II was cut in the northeast of the quarry, in an area where sand extraction works have revealed the outline of a waste pit. The form of the cut was approximately square, with dimensions of 4x4 m. In the expense of the section, several archaeological complexes were found: one „kitchen” oven and five small and medium-sized pits (no. 2-6). Based on stratigraphic data and inventory, the oven and two pits (no. 3 and 4) were dated to the late Roman period, but the other complexes (pits 2, 5-6) were attributed to Hallstatt or getic culture. In addition, there were discovered different archaeological materials (mainly ceramics) belonging to many historical eras and archeological cultures. As a result of researches in the multi-layered Lipoveni II site from 2013, there were identified archaeological remains dating from the Eneolithic (IV mil. BC), the first and the second periods of Iron Age (XII-VI and V-III centuries BC), late Roman period (III-IV centuries AD) and from late Middle Ages (XVI-XVIII centuries).Item GRADUL DE PĂSTRARE ŞI METODELE DE CURĂŢARE A MONEDELOR(2014) Matveev, SergiuItem REFLECTAREA PROCESELOR ETNO-CULTURALE DIN SEC. II-XIV DIN SPAŢIUL PRUTO-NISTREAN ÎN CERCETĂRILE ETNO-FOLCLORICE SOVIETICE(2007) Matveev, SergiuThe ethnography form the former Soviet Union in the context of researches in the Prut-Dnestr area represents a discipline that is strongly attached to the main historical tendencies in the 1950s, without an opening toward external confrontations and lack of intellectual autonomy. The ethno-folkloric investigations have had the purpose to prove that the ethno-cultural processes from I -beginning II millennium AD have ended with the “formation of moldovan people” through the symbiosis of eastern Slavs with the Volochs. There have been often invented some artificial arguments of ethnographic and folkloric aspect that emphasize the progressive role of Slavs.Item INVESTIGAŢIILE ARHEOLOGICE LA SITUL SAHARNA MARE (2009-2012) (II)(2013) Niculiţă, Ion; Zanoci, Aurel; Băţ, Mihail; Matveev, SergiuThis article presents information on the findings relating to the Thraco-Getian period, which have been identified as a result of archaeological excavations in 2009-2012 on the site of Saharna Mare. In examining orthophotomaps and the results and geomagnetic prospecting there was discovered a new defensive line traced over 650 m to the north, east and south sides of the cape. Its ends are connected to the “wall” on the west side, thus forming an integral defensive system surrounding the fortress on all sides and having an area of approximately 6 hectares. This recently discovered defensive line represents a “rampart” barely visible on the current surface of the soil, having at the base a width of 3 m and a height of about 0.3-0.4 m. Toward the east this “rampart” meanders, forming eight bastions grouped in four on the northern and southern flanks. As a result of archaeological investigation it was found that the identified “rampart” is the remains of a defensive wall built of two rows of wooden poles dug vertically into the mainland. The space between rows was filled with stones and earth, thus forming a fortifcation of about 1.1-1.6 m width. In the settlement there were also examined two above-ground structures, 36 household pits and fairly rich and varied inventory attributable to the 8th/7th - 3rd centuries BC. Judging by its strategic location, powerful defensive structures, and by the findings found in the area of the site, it can be assumed that the fortified settlement of Saharna Mare was an important economic, political, administrative and military center of the Middle Dniester region.Item INVESTIGAŢIILE ARHEOLOGICE LA SITUL SAHARNA MARE (2009-2011) (I)(2012) Niculiţă, Ion; Zanoci, Aurel; Băţ, Mihail; Matveev, SergiuThe Saharna Mare site (Rezina district) stands out among the monuments of the Middle Dniester area by its location and the degree of scrutiny. It is situated on a high rocky trapezoidal cape with an area of about 12 hectares, surrounded on three sides by deep canyons with inaccessible shores. Only from the south the cape is connected to the outside world. Due to its strategic location, this area was inhabited as early as the end of the 2nd millennium B.C. This monument drew the attention in the late 40s of the last century when there were conducted the first archaeological excavations (Smirnov, 1949, 93-96; Smirnov, 1949a, 189-202; Arnăut 2000, 93-104). Since 2001, an archaeological expedition of the Moldova State University conducts systematic research on the site. The results of studies conducted in 2001-2007 have been published in several articles and a monograph (Niculiţă, Zanoci, Arnăut 2008a, 69-150). As a result of these investigations there were identified several cultural-chronological horizons: 1 - presented by complexes with incised pottery; 2 - relating to the Cozia-Saharna culture; 3 - Thracian-Getae (7th - 3rd centuries B.C.). This article contains information about finds relating to the Cozia-Saharna culture, which were discovered as a result of the excavations of 2009-2011 carried out by five digs (13, 13A, 14, 15, 18) with the total area of 444 m2. Through the matching of orthophotomaps (fi g. 4/1), the results of geomagnetic studies (fi g. 3, 4/2), and archaeological research data (fi g. 9/1) in the southeast of the cape there were found the remains of a “citadel” and the adjacent “fortifi ed yard”. The “citadel” of a rounded shape (fig. 4/3), size 60×64 m (about 0,32 ha), was located on the southeastern outskirts of the cape; it was reinforced on all sides by a moat and a wooden stone-earthen wall. The width of the moat varies from 4,2 to 6,0 m, depth – 0,7 to 1,6 m. The wall was built of two rows of wooden pillars dug vertically into the mainland loam. The space between rows was fi lled with stones and earth, thus forming a fortification of about 1,0-1,2 m in width. The “citadel” had an adjacent semi-oval “yard” in the north-west side, with the dimensions of 55×78 m, which was also fortified by a moat (fig. 4/3). The width of the moat was 2-3 m, the depth – 1,0-1,4 m. In the “citadel” there were investigated one ground construction (fi g. 21), 37 household pits (fi g. 23-32), and one religious construction? (fi g. 33). There was also identifi ed a sufficiently rich and varied inventory (fig. 36-45) that allowed to attribute the “citadel” and the adjacent “yard” to the Cozia-Saharna culture. Most likely, these fortifications were designed to shelter residents of the Saharna “Dealul Mănăstirii” settlement, which was in close proximity. In addition, the “citadel” could serve as a socio-political and religious center for the Early Hallstatt population of the Saharna region (fi g. 46).Item DATE PRELIMINARE PRIVIND CERCETĂRILE DE SALVARE LA SITUL ARHEOLOGIC LIPOVENI II (R-NUL CIMIŞLIA)(Garomont, 2014) Matveev, Sergiu; Vornic, VladItem MONEDELE ROMEI ANTICE(CEP USM, 2013) Matveev, SergiuItem MONEDELE – MIJLOC DE PROPAGANDĂ ÎN IMPERIUL ROMAN.
