Except for the Chamber House, the historical secular architecture of the city’s central area has disappeared. Nevertheless, part of its ecclesiastical architecture has survived, primarily the Reformed Church of Turda Veche, located between the southern end of the central square and the left bank of the Racilor (Crayfish) Valley, and which, despite the changes that have affected it over time, remains to this day one of the most representative monuments produced by Transylvania’s ecclesiastical medieval architecture. The church starts to show up in documents in the early 14th century, when it belonged to the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine and only much later on, during the 17th century, in the wake of the Reformation, it came into possession of the Reformed community of Turda Veche. The edifice underwent numerous modifications during its existence, so it does not survive in its original shape. Today it stands as a chancel-less hall-church – the choir was demolished in the Early Modern Age – with galleries on its eastern and western sides, Gothic portals on its northern and western sides and a massive southern tower, erected in a historicizing style in the early 20th century. Although it was the subject of a variety of art history studies, until recently the monument did not benefit from archaeological research to shed light on its tangible history. The first scientific archaeological excavations to touch the structure of the Reformed Church of Turda Veche were undertaken in 2010, when preliminary work for a church restoration project took place. In 2018, research was resumed and intermittently continued until 2020, as part of the project “ The Rehabilitation of the Reformed Church “ Turda Veche”, Turda Municipality, Cluj County”. During these years, excavations undertaken in ten archaeological research units, both inside and outside the monument, as well as observations carried out during utilitarian works, allowed researchers to begin reconstructing the structural development and decline of the Reformed Church of Turda Veche and of its site. The foremost result of the investigation was identifying an earlier stage of the church, respectively a ruined northern wall, the protruding foundation of a triumphal arch and areas of pavement surviving at too great a depth. Due to the limited extent of the excavations, neither the dimensions nor the shape of this earlier church could be determined. Nevertheless, several clues – such as a grave overlapped by the apse, irregularities noticeable in the aboveground structure of the nave, the foundation of a buttress abutting the foundation of the nave, etc. – hint that the changes the church underwent were on a far greater scale than the excavations were able to reveal so far and that it involved expansions both eastward and westward.

Bălășescu","doi":"10.3406/mcarh.2022.2285","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3406/mcarh.2022.2285","url":null,"abstract":"The archaeozoological material discussed in this article came from one feature (Cpl. 2) located in the southern outer courtyard of the fortress investigated in the summer of 2020. The collected artefacts date mainly to the 18th and 19th centuries, therefore to the Austrian era, although some of them had been in use even earlier during the 17th century. The feature, most likely with the initial phase in the middle of the 17th century, has functioned as a latrine pit in which all sorts of remains were gradually thrown away, including faunal ones. Given that the faunal material analysed comes from a single archaeological feature, the conclusions are quite limited. Conclusions cannot be generalized, but they show a trend probably close to reality. We would like to make this clear because during the older or newer archaeological investigations, in various areas of the Făgăraș fortress, numerous animal bones were discovered, with or without a clear dating context, which could not be collected or analysed. The fauna studied in this article offers a glimpse on the diet of the human community that served the Făgăraș fortress, in general, during the Habsburg period. We observed that cattle hold an overwhelming ratio NR-wise, dominating the faunal spectrum. MNI-wise, although cattle hold second place after ovicaprids, they still have the highest importance in terms of the meat ratio, compared to other domestic animals. The game has an extremely low ratio, with medium-sized species (roe deer) and small species (hare) identified. The study of the slaughter ages and the distribution of the anatomical elements/ skeletal parts in the case of the domestic animals suggest the consumption of subadult and adult animals with less tender meat, some of the animals being at the age of reform (especially the old ones) suggesting that they were part of the daily food of the fortress staff (soldiers, civilians and administration). Although not very large in terms of quantity, the importance of the sample from the Făgăraș fortress is also given by the fact that such studies of archaeozoology dedicated to the Habsburg period are extremely rare in Romania. Future archaeozoological research will certainly help us to better understand the diet of the population in the Habsburg era.","PeriodicalId":285703,"journal":{"name":"Materiale şi cercetãri arheologice (Serie nouã)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114278377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to its construction, a timber building existed on the spot, a possible timber granary (horreum), judging by its dimensions (33 × 9 m2), comparable with the size of the stone granary. Such timber granaries are common within the Roman auxiliary forts, especially during the earth-timber construction phases. This timber granary was destroyed by fire sometime during or after the reign of Severus Alexander. The area was covered with gravel and the double apse building was constructed, along with a well ( ?) in front of it ; unfortunately, it is impossible, up to this moment, to establish its function.","PeriodicalId":285703,"journal":{"name":"Materiale şi cercetãri arheologice (Serie nouã)","volume":"22 22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130504587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
