Abstract

The purpose of this article is to offer a general view over the different systems of catchment and storage of water used during the Dacian antiquity in the Orăştie Mountains area, Romania. The methodology will be based on a dichotomous approach, in an effort that tries to compare the hydrological situation (supported by GIS maps) with the known archaeological discoveries relevant for the subject.

Metodologia se va baza pe o abordare în oglindă, anume interpretarea diferitelor descoperiri arheologice relevante în funcţie de situaţia hidrografică specifică (pe baza unor hărţi GIS).
