The legislative measures adopted for the encouragement of the industry offer resources both for the development of business and for the extension of production workshops and their equipping. Many of the new buildings will have small dimensions, which is characteristic for a developing industry. They will not benefit from any new technical solutions and will not be gifted with particular aesthetic qualities, since substantial investments in technology and materials limited those in construction. However, projects that are adequate for this type of function will exist, with particular constructive solutions, vast surfaces covered with roofs with large spans, with no intermediate pillars, illuminated from above and adequately ventilated, which share an aesthetic quality that results from the accuracy of their details and proportions. Radical urban interventions as well as financial interests have determined, in time, the deterioration or disappearance of an important percentage of the industrial heritage of Bucharest, but their history proves, even in its absence, the value and remarkable importance that they had in the life of the city.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

No less problematic is the fact that heritage policies focus solely on the more “famous” Ottoman monuments built by the elites, while ignoring the “modest” architecture found, for example, in rural areas. In order to redress these shortcomings, this study looks at the long biography (from the Ottoman period up to the present day) of the Muslim cemetery in Lanurile in rural Dobruja (Bărăganu commune, Constanţa County), analysing it in relation to other material elements from the neighbouring village of Bărăganu. Ottoman documents mention these two villages by the names Osman-Facı and Ebeköyü, both being inhabited by Turks and Tatars and both part of the kaza of Mangalia. The two villages were renamed Bărăganu and Lanurile, respectively, after the inclusion of Dobruja in the Romanian state in 1878. Gradually – in particular during the 1970s and, increasingly, after 1990 – the inhabitants of these villages (Romanians and Turks/Tatars) began to migrate to nearby towns and cities (Basarabi, Medgidia and Constanţa) or to Turkey (in the case of Turks and Tatars). According to local testimony, this migration occurred simultaneously with the settlement in Bărăganu and Lanurile of many families from the Moldavia region. As a result of this massive depopulation, the Muslim cemeteries are the only remaining material legacy of the villages’ Ottoman past. Lanurile cemetery in particular reflects a genealogical depth (through the extensive and dense distribution of funerary monuments), an aspiration to enduring memory (through the monumentality and durability of the funerary stelae) and an image of eternity (through the monotony of the stones planted in the ground). This funerary space is at one and the same time a monument to a disappeared community, a necropolis in the process of becoming an archaeological site and still-functioning cemetery with a long biography. The present study thus seeks to examine the relationships between the materiality of the Ottoman heritage, the material memory of the Turkish and Tatar communities, local commemorative practices, and the social effects of modernity.","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

On the one hand, some sources and the typological survey place the building of the church during the second half of the 17th century. On the other hand, the hypothesis of erecting it at the beginning of the subsequent century should not be ruled out, as suggested by the epigraphic documents.

The Servatius Church was originally a grave church that was founded in the sixth century by Bishop Monulph of Maastricht creating a pilgrim centre to honour his fourth-century predecessor Servatius, the first Bishop of Tongeren (BE). The excavations have not only brought to light remains of the sixth-century church building of Monulph, but also a hitherto unknown and richly decorated basilica that was in use between c. 650 and 950 A.D. as an abbey church. The diggings were extremely meticulously carried out over 40 connecting excavation trenches and the whole is very well documented and drawn in nearly 374 plans and sections. The digging is done entirely by hand and the soil is sieved dry as much as possible in stratigraphic units. That has resulted in a large amount of dating sherds within a reliable Harris-Matrix. Special material groups were found such as window glass, tesserae (cubical or cuboid mosaic stones) and fragments of wall paintings. The 133 mosaic stones from this excavation will be discussed here within their find contexts, from which something can be deduced about their original use and significance. This article is the result of a presentation during a most important Workshop in Belgium in March 2015 in the former Abbey of Paix-Dieu (Amay, BE) under the title Early medieval tesserae in north-western Europe (VIth-Xth century).","PeriodicalId":445871,"journal":{"name":"CaieteARA.

The past was re-constructed and reinterpreted as to support the policy and the propaganda of the rulers, also by building official monuments. But sometimes the monuments were used by the subsequent political regimes to legitimate themselves. The triumphal monument Tropaeum Traiani was erected in 109 to celebrate the victory of the Romans against the local inhabitants. In the vicinity was founded the roman town with the same name. First excavations were made by Grigore Tocilescu beginning with 1882, shortly after Romania wins the state independence. During a period when the national states appear this monument became an important support for the origins of the Romanians. The idea to reconstruct it on a central square from Bucharest seems natural. The original pieces were brought to Bucharest but the monument was never reconstructed. Till the 60’s they were exposed in different places in the city (museum and park) and then were brought back to Adamclisi. During the communist regime the idea of the reconstruction of the monument was again brought to life in connection with the celebration of a century since the wining of the state independence. In May 1977 Nicolae Ceauşescu featured the opening ceremony of the recently restored monument. The main newspapers on the first pages presented the event as the final moment of a so-called “working visit” in Constanţa county. The press presents almost the same photos and commentaries, reflecting the official propaganda, even “Pontica” the publication of the Archaeological and Historical Museum in Constanţa, published three articles concerning the restoration of the monument and also the future development of the village into a “model village” (rather a “communist” town, with blocks, factories nearby and a modern agriculture). According to the propaganda Tropaeum Traiani was “a true chronicle engraved in stone, telling of the bloody confrontations of the 101-106 A.D. period”. The manifestation from Adamclisi is specific for the communist propaganda and manipulation: a historical event is turned into an occasion to demonstrate the unity of the nation all around the Party and to express love for the unique leader of the Party and Country. The propaganda was based on a very complex system of rituals which were supposed to be more powerful then the religion, forbidden in the communist countries. In 1992 the local authorities organized a new anniversary – 1890 years from the Romans’ victory against the Dacians. The ritual is the same like before and for the people participating it is not so difficult to remember the past, in their mind the clichés are still alive. But this time a group of orthodox priests participate at the celebration. This was a double abuse!
