Descriptions of sites:<br>
<br>
TROPAEUM TRAIANI is a fortified Roman city near the Black Sea, SE Romania.<br>
Near the city is an immense triumphal monument, built by Roman veterans<br>
of the first war against the Dacians (101-102 AD) and an on-site museum<br>
which houses original sculpture from the monument. There are on-going<br>
excavations in the city center every summer. In addition, we will be<br>
conducting surveys of the surrounding territory to record archaeological<br>
sites in the vicinity of the city. Excursions available for participants<br>
to museums and all 3 ancient Greek and Roman cities on Romania's Black Sea<br>
coast: Histria, Tomis, and Callatis, as well as a boat excursion through<br>
the Danube Delta.<br>
<br>
SCANTEIA is a Late Neolithic village in northern Moldavia, near the city<br>
of Iasi. Carbon-14 dates: 4350-4200 BC. This site belongs to the<br>
"Cucuteni-Tripolye Culture" which is renowned for its superb tricolor<br>
pottery--the most technologically and artistically advanced ceramics of<br>
its time. The excavations consist of prehistoric houses rich in<br>
archaeological finds. Excursion to Moldvavia's 15th century painted<br>
monasteries (UNESCO World Art Heritage sites) is available for<br>
participants.<br>
<br>
We are committed to COMMUNITY ARCHAEOLOGY by providing assistance and<br>
outreach to local communities. Excavations are sponsored by Terra<br>
Europaea, a U.S. registered, non-profit organization supporting an aid<br>
program for rural Romanian schools and summer employment for local<br>
teenagers in rural villages near the excavations, and an educational book<br>
donation program to schools and museums.<br>
