Summary (English)

  • Popina Blagodeasca is an erosion baulk located at 4.5 km from Vlădeni village (Ialomitza county). On its surface we found archaeological material for three historical settlements. We had excavated only the Early Middle Ages settlement where we discovered twenty-seven archaeological complexes (houses, storage pits, kilns). During the 2005 campaign, we found four Early Middle Ages complexes (a house, a kiln, one aboveground complex and a palisade) and three from other historical ages. House no. 5 has a quadrilateral plan with round corners. Its sizes are 3 × 3.50 × 4 m. The floor is beaten yellow earth. It was a wooden building covered by clay named half-timber. In one corner, we found a kiln. We propose to date it to the 9th – 10th century AD, considering its inventory and stratigraphical situation. Kiln no. 6 consisted of an access segment and a base. The latter part is round, 1.50 m in diameter. The access segment crossed-house no. 5. Inside this kiln, we found a Pechenegs pot. It dates to the 10th – 11th centuries AD. Palisade (stockade). We discovered a trench to the NW-SE, full of cinder and black material. The width is 1.20 m and the depth 0.70-0.80 m. In 2005, we excavated only 27 meters of it. On its bottom, there are post-pits. We think this trench had a wooden palisade cover. The finds are few, only Early Middle Ages chips. This palisade crossed two Dacian archaeological complexes. From other historical ages we discovered a Geto-Dacian house (4th-3rd centuries BC) and a Sarmatic grave (2nd-3rd centuries AD).
