ARCHAEOLOGY WITHOUT BORDERS.

THE BARBARIAN SETTLEMENT OF PETEA-CUSTOM

The settlement of Csengersima-Petea was investigated between 1998 and 1999 when the border crossing point between Romania and Hungary was modernized. The administrative border between the two states crossed settlements from the Bronze and Roman Ages to the Migration period. The Romanian archaeologists worked on the Romanian side of the border line and the Hungarian colleagues on the Hungarian side, in close cooperation, under a general unified plan. We can say that it was a “borderless session of archaeology”. There was investigated a total surface of 3.5 hectares, representing according to our estimations about 25-30% of the Roman Age settlement.

Due to the large size of the studied area, a scheme of internal development joined to the evolution of pottery in the region was possible to develop. Thus, a little History of the settlement emerges covering also other settlements in the Someş Valley. Now we know of three Roman Age settlement types in the Upper Tisa Basin: hamlets consisting of one to three dwellings with annexes, farming settlements without indications of any craft activities and the settlements with industrial districts, which probably functioned as a kind of regional economic pole. The latter category also includes the settlement of Csengersima-Petea.

There are two households that date from the first half of the 2nd century A.D. and each of them consist of one sunken dwelling and its annexes. The setdement had then a structure based on clustered households, each placed at a few tens of meters from the other. The potter) findings point to the presence of both Dacians and Germans (the Buri), probably an ethnically
