Summer 2007

By the summer of 2007, all the wheels were oiled. We had a great team of staff and students and made many important discoveries in the field. We were finally able to talk confidently about general trends in the site chronology and also about the basic plan of the forum! The field trips became standardized this summer - we found a series of locations that allowed our students to experience all aspects of Romania's history and culture from prehistoric times through the communist period and the present day: Cluj-Napoca, Turda, "the Salaj County tour", Maramures. We discovered a wonderful B+B in the town of Barsana for the Maramures trip. Most importantly, by our third season, we were officially adopted by the village of Moigrad.
