A CSÍKI SZÉKELY MÚZEUM ÉVKÖNYVE 2006 17-34 DERZSI CSONGOR - NYÁRÁDI ZSOLT - SÓFALVI ANDRÁS A BIKAFALVI REFORMÁTUS EGYHÁZKÖZSÉG TÖRTÉNETE A RÉGÉSZETI KUTATÁSOK ÉS LEVÉLTÁRI FORRÁSOK TÜKRÉBEN Abstract: [The history of the reformed parish of Täureni in view of the archeological and archival researches] Between June-July 2006, because of the renovation of the reformed church in Täureni (rom.) / Bikafalva (hung.), the archeologists of the "Haáz Rezső" Museum of Odorheiu-Secuiesc (rom.) / Székelyudvarhely (hung.) organized an archeological excavation, in the course of which the foundation of a reformed church from the 17 ,h century was found. As there were not found any earlier constructions than the 17 th century walls, we can affirm with certitude that the medieval church of Täureni stood in another place, in case it existed at all. In about 1,5 m depth (rel.) under the modern stratifications a Bronze Age stratum was found, with ceramic fragments, spindle-whorls and bones. Parallel with the archeological researches, the archives of the parish until the 19 th century were cleared and prepared, which offered us a lot of supplementary information about the history of the parish. In this way the history of the parish in Täureni was followed until the middle of the 19 th century, the construction date of the new church. Rezumat: [Istoria bisericii reformate din Täureni în oglinda cercetärilor arheologice si a izvoarelor scrise] In cursul lunilor iunie-iulie 2006. cu prilejul renovärii bisericii reformate din Täureni / Bikafalva (magh.), arheologii Muzeului Haáz Rezső din Odorheiu-Secuiesc / Székelyudvarhely (magh.) au efectuat säpäturi de salvare, în urma cärora au iesit la ivealä fundatiile bisericii din secolul al 17-lea. Intrucât nu s-au gäsit urme de fundatii databile anterior secolului al 17-lea, putem afirma cu certitudine cä biserica medievalä trebuie cäutatä în altä parte, în cazul existentei acestuia. Sub straturile moderne, la o adâncime de cca. 1,5 m (rel.) s-au gäsit urme de locuire din epoca bronzului, matériáiul arheologic constând din fragmente de ceramicä, fusaiole de lut si oseminte. In paralel cu cercetärile arheologice s-a efectuat ordonarea si prelucrarea arhivei parohiei din secolul al 19-lea, prilej care ne-a oferit un surplus de informatii în legäturä cu istoria bisericii în discutie. S-a ivit astfei ocazia urmäririi cvolutiei Parohiei din Täureni panä la mijlocul secolului al 19-lea, data construira actualei biserici.
