This renewed attention stems from new discoveries in Romania that prompt a re-evaluation of earlier conclusions. Geomagnetic investigations and subsequent excavations of the fort of the ala I Batavorum milliaria in Războieni-Cetate (Alba County) have shown that, contrary to prevailing opinion, stable-barracks could be considerably larger than similar buildings known from Great Britain and Germany. These findings suggest that a significant reconsideration of the concept of stable-barracks is required, along with an updated discussion about the normal troop strength of alae milliariae in the Roman army.

Research focused also on two other fragments of related sandstone sculptures, found together with the Glauberger prince. The sandstone „prince”of Glauberg was already in the past a subject of many archaeological studies. Nevertheless, all or absolute majority of them were focused on aspects of art historian nature or on the question of the origin, role and function of such sculptures in the Early Iron Age Central Europe. On the contrary, the aim of our research is oriented exclusively on the questions related to the manufacture of this sculpture, identification of used sculptor´s tools and applied working techniques. Our research was realised by means of digital documentation followed by the aplication of traceological methods. The character of the survived working traces on the sculpture´s surfaces was studi...

According to the new results of geomagnetic survey carried out in 2011-2012, the settlement has an area of about 210 hectares. The main objective of the new excavations was the field validation of the anomalies from the geomagnetic plan, which earlier were not identifiable with a certain complex type pits with usual filling or filled with burnt daub remains. Some of the discovered complexes could have been bound with ritual activities. Also, we have studied the remains of a wattle-anddaub construction with a thick clay floor plastering. The results of the campaign justify the necessity of further investigations of the site.

A szemléletmód megváltozását nagyban segítette a távérzékelés, a roncsolásmentes terepi vizsgálatok és a térinformatika technikai fejlődése. Ezek közé a roncsolásmentes módszerek közé tartozik a magnetométeres vizsgálat is. A fejlesztéseknek köszönhe-tően a magnetométerek legújabb generációja már alkalmas nagy, egybefüggő felületek vizsgálatára. 2011 őszén és 2013 tavaszán a kalocsai Sárköz egy, illetve a tolnai Sárköz két különösen jelentős neolitikus lelő-helyének a megközelítőleg teljes magnetométeres felmérésére került sor egy nemzetközi együttműködés keretében. A felméréseket megelőzően mind a három lelőhelyen történtek régészeti terepbejárások, sőt a két Tolna megyei lelőhely esetében feltárási munkálat...

Preliminary Results of the First Stage of a Joint Research Project by the Archaeological Institute Iaşi and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen The site Slava Rusă, identified with the Roman settlement Ibida, is with more than 24 hectare one of the most important fortified Roman settlements in the Romanian Dobruja (Moesia Inferior), providing especially finds from Late Antiquity. The joint research project envisages an exhaustive geophysical survey of the site and its surroundings. In a first stage the German-Romanian team focussed on certain areas extra muros and on a larger plot inside the fortification. While the results from the surveys north and south-west of the ancient city limits had been rather disappointing the prospection inside the city walls delivered very interesting results of the architecture during late antiquity. Several larger building complexes ("insulae") and roads could be ident...

Here, detailed geophysical plans and their archaeological interpretation are presented. In combination with ethnological information on household sizes the new plans enable the formulation of models on social organization and population sizes of the mega-sites.
