A CSÍKI SZÉKELY MÚZEUM ÉVKÖNYVE 2004 271-303 BOTÁR ISTVÁN - TÓTH BOGLÁRKA A CSÍKSZENTTAMÁSI CSONKATORONY 2002. ÉVI RÉGÉSZETI KUTATÁSA Abstract: [The archeological research of the Csonkatorony of Tomesti in 2002] The study presents the first year's results of the archeological excavation in „Csonkatorony" Tome§ti, Harghita County (Romania). The medieval parish church was almost totally destroyed in the 18 ,h century, except the tower and the medieval wooden statue of Madonna. The tabernacle and the bell were transported in the newly built baroque building. The remains were excavated in 2002 and in the researched surfaces a part of the south ship wall and the southern side of the gothic sanctuary were found. The excavation revealed that the building had two major periods. During the first one the ship was 7,8 m long and had a 6,5 m width. The sanctuary was a five metres long and wide semicircular. Written sources and archeological remains date this phase in the 13* century. Approximately in the middle of the 15* century the first sanctuary was demolished, and a new late-gothic one was build being as wide as the old ship. This polygonal sanctuary was arched with stoneribs, having a 10,6 m length. The bell-tower was built in this period on the west side of the ship. The comparing of the carved stones revealed a close relation between the churches of Tomcsti and the neighbouring parish church from Carta. During the research 101 tombs were excavated. Rezumat: [Cercetarea arheologicä a Turnului Ciuntit din Tomeçti - campania din anul 2002)] Lucrarea prezintä rezultatele primei campanii (2002) de cercetäri arheologice efectuate la a§a-numitul Turn Ciuntit din Tomeçti, judetul Harghita. Biserica parohialä medievalä a satului de odinioarä, aflat la nord de actuala localitate Tome§ti a fost aproape complet demolatä în secolul al XVIIÎdea, pästrandu-se pana astäzi doar turnul-clopotnitä gotic de pe fatada vesticä. Clopotul datând din 1495, tabernaculul gotic si o Madonä sculptatä din lemn din altarul medieval au fost mutate în biserica ridicatä în Stil baroc dupä demolarea bisericii médiévale. In cursul säpäturilor au fost trasatc trei sectiuni, dezvelindu-se partial fundatiile laturii sudice a navei sj a corului gotic precum si portiuni ale necropolei din jurul bisericii médiévale. S-a constatât cä biserica medievalä a fost construite în douä faze. Prima bisericä construite la sfârsjtul secolului al XII Idea avea o navä de dimensiuni exterioare de 7,8 x 6,5 m si o absidä semicircularä sj a rämas în folosntä pana în prima jumätate a secolului al XVdea. Dupä sfârsitul primei treimi a secolului al XVdea, dupä demolarea vechii abside s-a construit un cor poligonal gotic flancat de contraforti, cu o lähme égala cu cea a navei romanice pästrate. Lungimea noului cor era de 10,6 m si avea bolti cu nervuri din piaträ. Formeie acestora prezintä similitudini cu cele de la Carta (jud. Harghita). Dupä mijlocul aceluiasj secol un turn-clopotnitä a fost adósat fatadei vestice. Biserica a fost abandonatä eel târziu la începutul secolului al XVIIIdea. Pe parcursul säpäturii au fost cercetate în total 101 morminte.
