This paper addresses the role of archaeologists in informing the public about a fundamental component of contemporary Romanian identity: the Dacian heritage. I start by exploring how the Dacians and Romanians came to be connected, a process that resulted from a combination of nationalistic zeal on behalf of archaeologists and the nationalist propaganda of the Ceauşescu regime during the 1970s and 1980s. I then move to the present-day situation, where I argue that archaeologists have reduced themselves to having a minor role in the public sphere, while discussions about the Dacians are dominated by two main players: pseudoarchaeologists and re-enactors. This state of affairs delegitimizes Romanian archaeology and places self-declared specialists and enthusiasts in the position of experts. Some of the Dacian narratives produced in this environment are infused with strong nationalist messages and have the potential to fuel extreme right-wing and even xenophobic movements. Consequently, in the final part of the paper, I recommend that Romanian archaeologists should challenge the representations and interpretations of pseudoarchaeologists and re-enactors. Moreover, academics should make it a priority to re-engage with the public and disseminate their work to a broad audience in a convincing manner.

"The aim of this article is to present the characteristics of a mortar layer from the floor of the cistern discovered by C. Daicoviciu and his team underneath Costeşti-Blidaru fortress. This investigation is based on the published information, on data from the excavation records and on the results of a recent mineralogic analysis of a sample from the layer in question. I compared the layer and the cistern with water related features and structures from the Mediterranean area, in an effort to identify the origins of the techniques that were used during the cistern's construction. Additionally, the recourse to ancient literary sources allowed me to discuss the practices of hydraulic engineers in classical times, in order to assess the validity of C. Daicoviciu’s appreciation, according to which the cistern was built by following ""Vitruvian recipes"". The final part of the paper contains some observations regarding the chronology of the cistern, based on the techniques that were used and on the chronology of the fortress and its related structures. Keywords: mortar, charcoal, undercoat, cistern, Vitruvius "

Observations Regarding the Terracotta Pipes from the Orăștie Mountains

The following paper brings forth a less studied category of artefacts discovered in the Orăștie Mountains area. The terracotta pipes found in the area since the 19th c. are mentioned in different historical sources, archaeological reports and publications, but they have rarely been treated as the object of particular studies. As such, based on information obtained during my doctoral research that focused on the water management systems of pre-Roman Dacia, I will present some observations regarding the terracotta pipes discovered in the Orăștie Mountains. Before that, I will try to discuss the information and interpretations proposed for this type of artefacts during the last two centuries, in parallel to the general interpretation of the archaeological sites from the Orăștie Mountains and Grădiștea de Munte in particular. All of this is done in order to determine if this category of objects can be related to a certain period and cultural material expression.
