Saturday, June 15th 2024, on the occasion of the European Days of Archeology, the University of Bucharest, in partnership with the Museum of Bucharest, organized the event Vestiges and Visions: European Archeology Days, which took place at the Botanical Garden Dimitrie Brandza in Bucharest.
Conceived as an outdoor event, the festivity invited the broad audience to explore the archeological sites coordinated by specialists of the two organizing institutions. The poster section organized within the European Days of Archeology included the archeological sites in the historical center of Bucharest (4 Șelari Str., Bucharest), Chiselet, Gumelnița (Călărași county), Romula (Olt county), Sultana, Vlădiceasca (Călărași county) and Vânători (Galați county), sites which cover a time segment comprising the Upper Paleolithic up to the modern period (centuries 19 – 20).
The public had the chance to discover new stories about the human communities that occupied the South and South-East of Romania in the past 18,000 years, starting with the hunter-gatherers, shepherds and prehistoric farmers, continuing the populations of the metal age and Antiquity and ending with the recent vestiges of Bucharest.
The European Days of Archeology, organized for the first time in France 14 years ago
The activities organized during the European Days of Archeology aimed to transmit, explain and promote the universe specific to the discipline of archeology to the large audience and to familiarize it with a complete and multi-disciplinary field, which helps us understand who we are and where we come from. This necessity has received a first formal answer with the creation of the National Days of Archeology in France, in 2010, at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture in France and under the coordination of the National Institute of Preventive Archeology Research (L’Institut national de recherches archéologiques préventives – INRAP).
The annual celebration of archeology extended rapidly, reaching, in 2019, 17 countries in Europe: (Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Letonia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Switzerland, the UK) and since 2020 we mark the European Days of Archeology in Romania as well, under the coordination of the National Institute of Patrimony within the Ministry of Culture.
In this context, the University of Bucharest and the Museum of Bucharest are actively engaged to disseminate the results of their own archeological research to the large audience, consolidating the commitment of the academic community towards the creation of a more educated and well-informed society.
