Department of Geology<br />
The formations of the last sedimentary megasequence that cover<br />
the Scythian Platform bear several Miocene, Pliocene and<br />
Quaternary vertebrate localities. The villages Pogana, Zorleni,<br />
Roşieşti, Mânăstirea, Fălciu, (Vaslui District) are places where<br />
we have discovered an important palaeontological material. The<br />
material collected consists of vertebrate fauna that herbivores<br />
and carnivores. The ierbivore comprises Rhinoceros Paleofauna<br />
with genus Chilotherium sp., Dicerorhinus sp. and<br />
Stephanorhinus megarhinus (de Christol). Mammoths are<br />
represented by Mammuthus trogontherii and Mammuthus<br />
primigenius. Species in the Cervidae family include the “giant<br />
deer” (Megaloceros giganteus), Alces alces and Capreolus sp.<br />
The Bovidae are the most diverse group of living ungulates that<br />
Bos primigenius and Bison priscus. In the south part of Fălciu<br />
Hills discovered the remains of bones and maxillary belonging<br />
Ochotona ursui and Testudo sp. Carnivores Fauna is represented<br />

Title The Carpathian-Dnistrian space in ancient literary sources<br />
Authors Curcă Roxana-Gabriela<br />
Institution Faculty of History, „Al.I. Cuza” University of Iaşi<br />
Description<br />
The novelty brought on by the proposed project lies in the<br />
realization, for the first time, of an exhaustive historicalphilological<br />
analysis of the Roman-Greek literary sources<br />
concerning strictly the carphatian-dnistrian space in protohistorical<br />
period. An absorbing vision is therefore offered on<br />
how this geographical area entered the scope of ancient authors,<br />
from historians and geographers to writers. The project aims at<br />
studying the carpathian-dnistrian space as it is reflected in the<br />
Greek and Latin literary sources, from multiple points of view:<br />
geographical, historical, economical, linguistical, etc. The project<br />
is structured in two parts: the first part is the theoretical analysis<br />
(focused on geographical and ethnographical situation of the<br />
area, ethnical background, religion, Historical dimension, etc.)<br />
