Consideraţii privind unele aspecte ale locuirii dacice în Munţii Orăştiei

  • Subiect: The study investigates the civil Dacian dwellings in the Orăştie Mountains in order to point out the areas highly inhabited by the Dacians in relation to the land they adapted to. If we take into consideration the archeological data we know so far, we can state that the area (with the exception of Costeşti citadel and the settlement around it - belonging to an earlier period) was inhabited since the first half of the 1st century B.C., at the same time, perhaps, with the building of the fortified pile in the Orăştie Mountains. The fortified citadels on the peaks brought security in the areas around, thus facilitating trade relations and the colonization of manpower. The lack of farming land along the Grădişte valley and around Sarmizegetusa come to support the idea of an artificial concentration of dwellings. A great number of farming implements have been unearthed in the workshops of Sarmizegetusa, also large cereal reserves. We believe in the existence of a territorial division of labor, with two areas at least: the Grădişte valley, highly populated and rich in iron reserves, and another area with more fertile land (the Mureş valley, maybe) on which the first one depended for agricultural produce. All these theories have to get the archeologist's approval, which one can give only after systematic investigation in the civil dwellings of the Dacians who lived in the Orăştie Mountains.
