Geophysical survey at Călugăreni and Sărățeni

Between the 7th and 15th of March an extended geophysical survey was made by students and professors from the Geophysics Department of the Eötvös Lóránd University. The team was split into two: while one part was concentrated on the surrounding area of the Roman fort from Călugăreni, the other group effectuated mesurements along the walls of the Roman fort from Sărățeni.

Even though the early spring was from windy to very hot, the team managed to survey many hectares in Călugăreni, spotting out a new part of the vicus. The measurements from Sărățeni were also resultful, accomplished by dozens of electro-magnetic sections which gave a more accurate picture of the direction of the walls and indicated the existence of other structures as well. It was an efficient week which opened new perspectives for the further investigations.
