Articolul prezintă rezultatele săpăturilor efectuate de către echipa arheologică a Universităţii din Bucureşti în Sectorul Acropolă Centru-Sud, la Histria (jud. Constanţa). Până acum, stratigrafia generală a sectorului constă în stratul vegetal, sub care au fost identificate două straturi de dărâmătură, cel inferior din momentul iniţial al distrugerii ultimului nivel constructiv, iar cel superior din momentul ruinării finale a clădirilor distruse, după abandonul şi, eventual, spolierea clădirilor din zonă. Dedesubt au apărut nivelurile de călcare ale ultimului nivel constructiv de la Histria, din care am descoperit o clădire de epocă romană târzie de mari dimensiuni (CR01) la S de strada c. Aceasta din urmă are cel puţin două faze constructive şi este flancată de două străzi la E şi V (ST01 şi ST02). Strada ST02 are şi ea două faze constructive ; prima este perpendiculară pe strada c şi era probabil pavată cu dale mari de piatră, în timp ce a doua este oblică (are o deviaţie către V) faţă de prima fază şi are o substrucţie puternic solidificată de pietre legate cu pământ, suprapusă de un strat puternic solidificat de lut galben (aceeaşi structură a fost identificată şi la ST01).
This paper reports the chemical composition of 36 glass finds from Histria, Romania, mainly dated to the Late Antique period (4th–6th c. AD) obtained by Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) at the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC). Histria glass fragments were identified as Série 2.1, Série 3.2, and Série 3.3 of Foy, HIMT, Roman, and Sb decolorized. Most of the analyzed objects were manufactured from glass originating in Egyptian primary workshops. These analytical results are an additional proof for the trade connection of Histria with the rest of the Roman Empire.
The chemical composition of 48 glass finds from Histria and Tomis, Romania, chiefly dated to the 1st–4th c. AD, was determined using prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) at the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC). Most fragments have composition typical for the Roman naturally colored blue-green-yellow (RNCBGY) glass; Mn-colorless, Sb-colorless, and Sb–Mn colorless glass finds were evidenced, too. Several Foy Série 2.1 and Foy Série 3.2 glass fragments, as well as an HIMT and a plant ash glass sample, were identified in the studied assemblage. The archaeological evidence, the glass working waste items, and the samples with compositional patterns suggestive of recycling are proofs of the secondary glass working activities at Tomis during the Early Roman Empire period.
A number of 42 Greek coins (most of them issued and/ or circulated at Histria during the autonomous period of the city and several issued by Histria during Roman times) were found during the 2013‐ 2016 archaeological campaigns conducted in the Acropolis Centre‐ South Sector. The coins, made of copper and copper‐ based alloys, were subject to a non‐ invasive compositional analysis using a portable X‐ Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer, in order to determine trends and technological choices in the coinage production. The composition of these items was compared to that characterising a batch of coins found at Histria during older excavations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
