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

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