Cronica cercetărilor arheologice din România – campania 2006
As the historical sources mentioned the presence of
important Roman Period vestiges in the area, we proceeded
with an extended investigation of the area.
The report presents the results of the archaeological
investigations of the campaign developed between 21.08 and
20.10.2006. This documentation includes the results of the
investigations: field investigation, description of all digging
units, stratigraphy, archaeological items found and their
pictures. The investigation area from 2006 campaign included
the mountains Rodu and Frasin and extended to the
surrounding areas, respectively Vâlcea depression and
Abruzelului and Şesii valleys. The objective of the investigation
team was to perform preventive investigation within this area
using specific methods such as field investigations,
questionnaires and digging operations.
The region looks like a depression where a stream is
flowing and which is surrounded by Măgura, Rodu and Frasin
massifs. We investigated the region free of forest and located
within the piedmont area, between the plain and compact
forest covering the upper half of Rodu and Frasin massifs,. We
also researched the surface which look like glades, situated on
the higher area on Rodu - Dealul Băilor and on the northern
hillsides of Frasin from the area known under the name Tăul
Certeje.
During the 2006 campaign we researched 13 surfaces
belonging to 16 owners, situated at Vâlcea, Doştină, Liciu,
Frasin, Mese, and Tăul Certeje. On these properties were laid
out and excavated 62 archaeological sections from which: two
of 7 x 4 m, one of 15 x 1.5 m, two of 12 x 1.5 m, one of 8 x 1.5
m, two of 7.5 x 1.5 m, and others 54 of 10 x 1.5 m sizes. The
excavation depth was between 0.35 and 2.20 m. The entire
excavated area has 959 m 2 .
Most of the investigated sections did not reveal any
archaeological findings. In some cases, ceramic fragments,
nail and iron pieces from the modern period were found
beneath the top soil and few rolled ceramic fragments from the
Roman age. Inside few sections were discovered seated stone
arrangements, which were parts of the structure of some
channels or water feed and direction dikes. Inside six units
were found superficial stone substructure fasten to earth,
belonging to a building which is dated, according to few
ceramic fragments found, in modern age.
We consider that the researches done during the three
campaigns (2004 - 2006) on the southern and western Frasin
Massive areas were conclusive contributed to ensemble image
on the historical evolution in this area. By field researches we
identified the already mentioned in literature area and were
wrote down other points of interest, especially old mines works,
both subterranean and especially at the surface. The most part
of the sections did not give us archaeological information.
The conclusion is that the human activities (inhabitancy or
the natural depots exploitation) had a less intensity along the
historical periods before modern ages. The researches done till
now did not discover archaeological complexes or materials,
which could indicate the existence of some human activities in
pre-Roman period, but they support the idea of the presence of
the Romans there. The fact that there are no kind of
archaeological complexes and we discovered isolated rolled
materials suggests that we do not have large human structures
or economical exploitation in the area, being sporadic human
activities. These conclusions, connected to casual discovery of
a funerary area at the entrance of Vâlcea, on Bucium Valley,
indicates the possibility that the Roman inhabitancy and
necropolis could be in the area researched by us.
The most part of the archaeological assemblages and
materials are dated in pre-Roman, modern and contemporary
periods and they might be put in connection with the
inhabitancy development and especially with the identification
of mining exploitation in this period. It is about a lot of dumps,
channels and dikes and mire, which are the traces of human
activities of exploitation and working of golden-silver ore from
Rodu and Frasin massifs.

Raport general arheologic-sedimentologic
Zona noastră de interes (ceea ce am definit prin microzona
Bucşani) este limitată spre S de confluenţa Neajlovului cu
Dâmbovnicul, iar spre N de curba generală de nivel de 100 m.
Regiunea apare geomorfologic excepţional de bine
individualizată, alături de lunca şi terasele Neajlovului dintre
cele două limite naturale participând la conturarea unei zone
unitare şi interfluviul dintre Neajlov şi Dâmbovnic şi lunca
acestuia din urmă, aprox. pe 4 km în amonte de confluenţă.
Pe aprox. 8,5 km liniari de vale (în linie dreaptă), între
îngustarea din nordul satului Dealu şi confluenţă (în dreptul
satului Vadu Lat) lunca nu are mai mult de 1,6 km lărgime, pe
alocuri aceasta nedepăşind chiar 600 m. Este singurul tronson
de pe cursul mijlociu al Neajlovului care se prezintă sub
această formă, fiind diferit de întregul văii din aceste
perspective. Mai mult, terasele sunt relativ înalte şi abrupte,
evident, procentul (chiar şi astăzi) al zonelor mlăştinoase este
superior în această porţiune din vale, inundaţiile altfel îşi
cuantificau consecinţele în astfel de condiţii. Caracteristicile
topografice şi implicaţiile acestora au impus o anumită
densitate a tell-urilor gumelniţene şi, mai ales, a evoluţiei
stratigrafice şi istorice a acestora. De asemenea, nu trebuie
excluse şi anumite diferenţe de mentalitate a comunităţilor din
această zonă. Faptul că atât în nordul, cât mai ales în sudul
zonei noastre de interes, tell-urile sunt mult mai mari în
suprafaţă, mai înalte şi mult mai rare nu poate fi explicat decât
prin suma caracteristicilor acesteia.
În segmentul de vale individualizat (dar în care am inclus,
după cum aminteam, şi interfluviul Neajlov-Dâmbovnic şi o
parte a luncii acestuia din urmă) au fost descoperite 22 aşezări
preistorice – două Boian-Giuleşti, 12 gumelniţene (unele având
sigur un nivel superior încadrabil în ceea ce se cunoaşte
despre faza B1 a culturii) şi opt din epoca bronzului (una dintre
acestea părând a aparţine culturii Coslogeni).
