County, with a special focus on the burial rite and ritual of the Turdaș and Petrești cultures, carried
out between 1992 and 2019. This lines will include the synthesis of some discoveries that have been
made in the last 30 years at Turdaș-“Luncă”, Hunedoara County. These finds are a series of round,
oval, trapezoidal, triangular, or rectangular pits, sometimes with rounded corners, very well burned
on the inside and filled with ash and charcoal resulted from combustion. The incineration and the
inhumation necropolis show, by the way that the deceased were deposited by the clear location in
relation to the discovered fences/palisades for bringing a surplus of strength to them, a cultic
contribution necessary for anyone who wants to enter to the settlement through the defense system
and individualization to think twice if they also face the spiritual defense of the group. The way in
which both incineration and inhumation graves are organized could also show a “ritual defense” if
we think about the fact that the incinerated and the inhumated people represent those outside the
fortification, the incineration and burial procedures being, in fact, a direct warning to them. Perhaps
that is why incineration is so strong and the inhumation of all discovered graves shows an obvious
lack of rules for both orientation and deposition of the deceased in the pit (various positions, limbs
that do not necessarily respect the anatomical arrangement or unnatural positions of the head).

in the world, being established in 1817, according to the testamentary wish of
Baron Samuel von Brukenthal, from whose birth we celebrate 300 years. In his
palace, decorated in Baroque style, the baron had gathered extraordinary
collections of various books, works of art, archaeological pieces, numismatics,
rocks, specimens of plants and animals. His work was continued by Sibiu
community, and not only, which contributed, through his donations, to the
enrichment of the heritage of this museum. Over two centuries of existence, this
museum institution has become one of the most significant in Romania,
appreciated at European level.
In the context in which in 2007 the city of Sibiu became the European
Capital of Culture, the Brukenthal Museum underwent an extensive process of
reorganization and modernization of buildings, permanent exhibitions, restoration
laboratories. At the same time, a prolific activity of exhibition and scientific
capitalization of the history and the rich patrimony of this museum took place,
which continues today.

discovered in 2011, in A1
sector of this year. The discovery is more important due to the fact that we also
have a radiocarbon data that shows a posteoriority to phase I/II of the Turdaș culture (with two features
dated absolutely so far: 23 and 32–33). Thus, phases I/II and II show and age of approximately 100 BP
years.
