Early Medieval Discoveries from Zaläu,

„Lupului Street / Farkas Domb” (Sälaj County)

(Abstract)

The settlement from "str. Lupului/Farkas Domb" is placed on the territory of the Zaläu City. In this place in 2003 and 2004 was made some rescue excavations. In 2004 we identificated here two deepened dwellings (L1/2004 and L2/2004) and one pit (G1/2004), which can be dated in the early mediaeval times.

The artefacts

Dweeling L1/2004: hand made pottery, iron buckle.

Dweellind L2/2004: hand made pottery, slow wheel made pottery.

Pit G1/2004: hand made pottery, two iron knifes.

The chronology

Because we discovered just a few artefacts, is very difficult to establish the chronology of the settlement. In this stage of researches, we believe that the settlement from Zaläu "str. Lupuiui/Farkas Domb" can be dated in the second half of the Vll-th century - beginning/first half of the Vlll-th century A.D.

Situl este plasat ре о terasä ínaltá, aflatä ín apropiere de párául Valea Mätii, vis-á-vis de statia CFR Zaläu Nord (pl. I).

Construirea fabricii MICHELIN pe aceastä terasä a determinat efectuarea unor säpäturi preventive ín anul 2003, respectiv 2004 (Matei, Pop, Andra§, Bäcuet-Cri§an 2004, p. 375-378). Tn septembrie 2004, ca urmare a lärgirii drumului de acces spre fabricä, ín profilul rezultat au fost indentificate trei complexe medievale timpurii. Datoritä faptului cä se aflau sub stratui de beton al drumului, acestea nu au putut fi cercetate §i in suprafatä.
