Abstract

New Archaeological Discoveries from the Iron Age in the Settlement of Brădiceşti-Iaşi (II)

The archaeological investigations in the Brădiceşti village, (Dolheşti commune, Iaşi county) were resumed in 1998, in order to clarify some aspects not fully explained during the 1977-1980 campaigns. Four sections were dug on different locations and materials from various periods appeared: the second iron age, the 2nd-3rd centuries A.D. and the 9th—1 Oth centuries A.D. The Odaie-Beschiei Hill sectîon provided the utmost results. A pit house with wall fragments and a fire place was found there. As inventory objects, Thraco-Gctic gray pottery was discovered, namely hand-made and wheel-made vessels and ceramic fragments of gray colour. Few fragments of Greek amphorae from Chios and Thasos were also found. On the basis of the archeological finds, the pit house in Brădiceşti-Beschiei Hill can be dated between the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.
