ABSTRACT: In a combined field research effort of three post-doctoral projects, several archaeological sites linked in previous literature with finds belonging to the late Second Iron Age Dacian culture, in south-eastern Transylvania (Braşov Depression and Sf. Gheorghe Depression), were subject of survey by employment of aerial archaeology, photogrammetry and remote sensing.
While discussing the general spatial features of their environment, the present report is aiming to ground a future analysis regarding the degree of fragmentation of authority and territorial control mechanisms during classical Dacian period (1st c. BC-1st c. AD) in an area placed at a major crossroad between routes linking the extra-Carpathian space with Transylvania. A spatial emphasis is placed on understanding the relation between the open settlements located in the Depressions, along the river terraces, between huge swamps, and the contemporaneous fortified sites located on the high hills and mountains, bordering the Depressions.
