INSTITUTUL DE ARHEOLOGIE IAI N CUTAREA TIMPULUI TRECUT

n spaiul est-carpatic al Romniei, inclusiv n centrul universitar i academic Iai, cercetarea arheologic a nceput in prima jumtate a secolului al XIX-lea. Ca i n alte ri (Frana, Belgia etc.), primele descoperiri arheologice s-au datorat unor specialiti din alte domenii ale tiinei: geologie, biologie, etnologie. Prin nfiinarea la Iai, a Cabinetului Numismatic i Arheologic i a unei Comisii de Arheologie, n 1830, n cadrul Cabinetului de Istorie Natural i Medicin, s-au conservat cele dinti descoperiri arheologice, fiind posibil publicarea monografiei lui G. Sulescu, Caput Bovis Ghertina, de lng Galai1. De altfel, ca urmare a activitii de cercetare a vestigiilor trecutului ndeprtat, G. Sulescu a fost considerat primul arheolog romn2. Tot lui G. Sulescu i se datoreaz manualul de istorie universal Hronologia i istoria universal prelucrat pe scurt, tomurile I-II (1837) i Arhiva Albinei pentru arheologia romn i industrie3. De o atenie aparte s-au bucurat unele monumente arheologice mai reprezentative din spaiul est-carpatic al Romniei, printre care amintim Cetatea traco-dacic de la Cotnari-Ctlina (al crei plan topografic a fost alctuit la 1854, de ctre Gh. Asachi), ori Mormntul Criesc de la Conceti, Botoani, descoperit la 1812.

n 1884, folcloristul Th. Burada a descoperit staiunea eponim a culturii Cucuteni, n primvara anului urmtor fiind iniiate primele spturi arheologice de ctre N. Beldiceanu i D. Butculescu4. Descoperirile de aici

au fost anunate lumii tiinifice prin articolele semnate de N. Beldiceanu, Antichitile de la Cucuteni (1885) i Gr. Buureanu, Noti asupra spturilor i cercetrilor fcute la Cucuteni (1889), precum i prin comunicrile susinute de Gr. Buureanu n cadrul Congresului Internaional de Antropologie i Arheologie preistoric de la Paris, din 1889, i a lui G. Diamandi, la Societatea de Antropologie de la Paris (1889)5. O nou etap n desfurarea cercetrilor arheologice la Iai se configureaz n anul 1894, cnd este creat conferina de arheologie, transformat, n 1895, n Catedra de Arheologie i Antichiti, n cadrul Universitii ieene, titular al Catedrei fiind numit Teohari Antonescu. Acesta i fcuse studiile cu Al. Odobescu i Gr. Tocilescu (Bucureti), A. Furtwngler (Mnchen), A. Collignon (Paris)6. De altfel, n ultimele dou decenii ale secolului al XIX-lea, Academia Romn a analizat de mai multe ori problema cercetrilor arheologice din Moldova i ndeosebi de la Cucuteni-Cetuia, prin interveniile lui Al. Odobescu, Gr. Tocilescu, V.A. Urechia, B.P. Hadeu, Gr. Coblcescu, A.D. Xenopol, Gr. tefnescu .a.7

A doua jumtate a secolului al XIX-lea i nceputul celui urmtor este marcat la Iai prin activitatea lui I. Andrieescu, adevrat ctitor al cercetrilor preistorice din ara noastr. Acesta i-a fcut studiile la Iai, cu profesorul Teohari Antonescu, apoi la Berlin i Viena, cu H. Schmidt, Ed. Meyer i G. Kossina. Teza sa de doctorat, Contribuii la Dacia nainte de romani, susinut la Iai n 1912, a constituit o valoroas lucrare tiinific, cu referire la ntreaga preistorie a spaiului carpato-dunrean.

nceputul secolului XX este dominat de cercetrile efectuate de Hubert Schmidt, la Cucuteni-Iai (ncheiate cu tiprirea celebrei monografii Cucuteni in der oberen Moldau, Rumnien, Berlin-Leipzig, 1933), i de crearea colii romneti de arheologie, de ctre Vasile Prvan. n 1916 se nfiineaz la Iai Muzeul de Antichiti, de ctre profesorul O. Tafrali, care, ncepnd cu anul 1927, tiprete prestigioasa publicaie Arta i Arheologia. O.Tafrali era un binecunoscut specialist n istorie veche i bizantinologie. Din anul 1913, acesta a fost numit la Catedra de Arheologie i Antichiti de la Universitatea din Iai, devenind succesorul lui T. Antonescu (dup o suplinire de civa ani, de ctre O. Erbiceanu). Ca i ali specialiti ai vremii, el i-a fcut specializarea cu mari personaliti

ale lumii tiinifice europene, printre care Ch. Diehl, A. Collignon, n cadrul unor prestigioase instituii tiinifice pariziene8. Muzeul de Antichiti a constituit laboratorul Catedrei nfiinate la Universitatea ieean n 1895, contribuind n mod consistent la impulsionarea cercetrilor de teren i la creterea coleciilor de materiale arheologice9. Activitatea de cercetare tiinific din cadrul Muzeului, coroborat cu cea didactic, de la Universitatea ieean, a fcut necesar nfiinarea unui institut de specialitate n domeniul istoriei i arheologiei, ceea ce l-a determinat pe profesorul Ilie Minea s propun transformarea Seminarului de Istoria Romnilor, al crui director era, n Institut de Istoria Romnilor, solicitare avizat de Consiliul profesoral. Interveniile ctre Ministerul Educaiei Naionale, Cultelor i Artelor s-au materializat abia n anul 1941. Astfel, prin Decretul-Lege din februarie 1941, semnat de generalul Ion Antonescu, Seminarul de Istorie al Universitii Al. I. Cuza este transformat n INSTITUTUL DE ISTORIA ROMNILOR A.D. XENOPOL, sub coordonarea Facultii de Litere i Filosofie a Universitii; prin eforturile profesorului Al. Boldur (succesorul prof. Ilie Minea), n 1943 s-a instituionalizat activitatea INSTITULUI DE ISTORIE NATIONAL A.D. XENOPOL, ca unitate de cercetare distinct, n cadrul Ministerului Culturii Naionale i al Cultelor; n 1964 s-a constituit INSTITUTUL DE ISTORIE I ARHEOLOGIE A.D. XENOPOL, de pe lng Academia Romn10. De altfel, nc din 1953, n cadrul Institutului a fost nfiinat Secia de Istorie Veche i Arheologie, care a coordonat, pn n 1968, activitatea Muzeului de Antichiti, transformat, n 1957, n Muzeul de Istorie a Moldovei.

n perioada de dup 1953, Institutul de Istorie i Arheologie A.D. Xenopol din Iai a devenit, ndeosebi n domeniul arheologiei, centrul cercetrilor de specialitate, nucleul de activitate a specialitilor din Iai, de la Facultate i Muzeu. Iniierea publicaiei Arheologia Moldovei n 1961, fondator fiind prof. M. Petrescu-Dmbovia, a creat posibilitatea tipririi rezultatelor cercetrilor proprii, dar i ale colegilor din ntreaga

ar. n cadrul Seciei de Istorie Veche i Arheologie s-au iniiat adevrate programe de cercetri arheologice pe marile antiere de spturi sistematice, conduse de C.S. Nicolescu-Plopor, I. Nestor, Vl. Dumitrescu i M. Petrescu-Dmbovia, ntre care, acelea de pe Valea Jijiei, de la Suceava sau de pe terasele Bistriei (zona Ceahlu), ca i spturile n marile staiuni cucuteniene de la Hbeti, jud. Iai i Trueti, jud. Botoani, s-au impus prin valoarea deosebit a rezultatelor obinute. Atribuirea Premiului de Stat, n 1951 i 1954, pentru participarea la spturile de la Hbeti i colaborarea la realizarea monografiei staiunii, a nsemnat prima recunoatere la nivel naional a prestigiului colii arheologice ieene, creaie a profesorului M. Petrescu-Dmbovia. Devenit director al Institutului, prof. M. Petrescu-Dmbovia a impus tuturor colaboratorilor, ca o necesitate de prim importan, ideea de modernizare i diversificare a cercetrilor arheologice, sprijinind cu generozitate i perseveren orice iniiativ n domeniul investigaiilor multidisciplinare, al colaborrilor internaionale11. Aceasta este i etapa primelor recunoateri internaionale, prin cooptarea unor membri ai Institutului n Consiliul Permanent al Uniunii Internaionale de tiine Pre- i Protoistorice (M. Petrescu-Dmbovia), n Consiliul Permanent al Uniunii Internaionale de Arheologie Slav (D.Gh. Teodor), ori ca membru titular al Institutului italian de Pre- i Protoistorie de la Torino (M. Petrescu-Dmbovia). n aceeai perioad M. Petrescu-Dmbovia a colaborat la Tratatul de Istorie a Romniei (ediia 1960) i la Compendiul de Istoria Romniei, pentru strintate. Prin cooperarea cu specialitii de la muzeele judeene din Moldova i de la Institutul de Arheologie din Bucureti, s-au iniiat cercetri de specialitate, unele cu caracter interdisciplinar, n mari staiuni preistorice, din perioada geto-dacic, din epoca formrii poporului romn, evul mediu, urmrindu-se problematica satului i a oraului medieval la est de Carpai. Rezultatele cercetrilor au fost valorificate n Arheologia Moldovei, n publicaiile muzeelor judeene, n periodicele celorlalte institute ale Academiei Romne, ori n volumele congreselor internaionale de arheologie pre- i protoistoric, la care sunt invitai tot mai muli specialiti ieeni. La intervenia directorului Institutului, s-a creat posibilitatea obinerii unor burse Humboldt (I. Ioni) i DAAD (V. Spinei). Perioada de pn la 1990 este

i cea a valorificrii, prin volume de amploare, a cercetrilor de teren, a spturilor sistematice, efectuate pe ntregul teritoriu est-carpatic, prin numeroase sinteze ale unor culturi arheologice i perioade istorice12. ntre altele, n aceast perioad s-au valorificat cercetrile laborioase aferente aa-numitului Mileniu ntunecat, asupra cruia informaiile scrise sunt puin numeroase i neconcludente. Referitor la secvena cronologic amintit, au fost elaborate mai multe studii i volume, de ctre D. Gh. Teodor13, S. Sanie, I. Ioni, V. Spinei. Valorificarea tiinific a rezultatelor cercetrilor arheologice de teren a fost posibil i prin faptul c n Institut au funcionat, n condiii mulumitoare, laboratorul de restaurare-conservare i cabinetele foto i de desen.

Dndu-se curs demersurilor unor cercettori ieeni, susinute de acad. D.M. Pippidi, preedintele Seciei de tiine Istorice i Arheologie a Academiei Romne, la 3 martie 1990 s-a promulgat Decretul-Lege semnat de primul-ministru Petre Roman, prin care Secia de Arheologie a Institutului de Istorie i Arheologie A. D. Xenopol a devenit INSTITUTUL DE ARHEOLOGIE, sub egida Filialei Iai a Academiei Romne. Mai precizm faptul c, ntre 1967-1989, director al Institutului de Istorie i Arheologie A.D. Xenopol din Iai a fost profesorul M. Petrescu-Dmbovia; ntre 1990-2003, director al Institutului de Arheologie a fost profesorul D. Gh. Teodor14, iar din decembrie 2003, director al Institutului este profesorul V. Spinei, membru corespondent al Academiei Romne.

Prin activitatea specialitilor Institutului, de la nfiinarea sa i pn n prezent, s-a abordat o tematic bazat pe necesitatea cunoaterii spaiului carpato-dunreano-pontic i nistrian din Paleolitic i pn n epoca medieval: Geo-cronologia Paleoliticului superior n spaiul dintre Nistru i Tisa; Complexul cultural Cucuteni-Ariud-Tripolie; Epoca bronzului i prima epoc a fierului n regiunile extracarpatice ale Romniei; Civilizaia traco-geto-dacic din zonele carpato-nistriene, inclusiv contactele populaiei geto-dacice cu civilizaia greac; Spiritualitatea geto-dacic; Civilizaia roman la est de Carpai i romanitatea; Dacii liberi din spaiul est-carpatic i

THE INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN IAI IN SEARCH OF TIME PAST

Est of the Romanian Carpathians, in the academic centre of Iai in particular, archeological investigations date back from the first half of the 19th century. Like elsewhere (France, Belgium, etc.), the first archeological findings were due to specialists from the adjoining fields of geology, biology or ethnology. The establishment in Iasi on 1830 of a Numismatic and Archeological Cabinet and of an Archaeology Commission served to preserve the earliest archeological findings within the Natural History and Medicine Cabinet, and made it possible for the monograph by Gh. Sulescu on Caput Bovis Ghertina (near Galai)1 to be published. Given his activity as a researcher into the far-off past, Gh. Sulescu is deemed to be the very first Romanian archeologist2. His contribution includes the world history handbook Hronologia si istoria universal prelucrat pe scurt (Chronology and History of the World Briefly Discussed), volumes I-II (1837), and Arhiva Albinei pentru arheologia romn i industrie3 (Albina Archives for Romanian Archaeology and Industry). Special attention was given to the more representative archaeological monuments east of the Carpathians, among which count the Thracian-Dacian Fortress at Cotnari Ctlina (the topographic map of which was drawn in 1854 by Gh. Asachi), and Mormntul Criesc at Conceti, Botoani, discovered in 1812.

In 1884, folklorist Th. Burada discovered the eponymous site of Cucuteni culture; the first archeological diggings there were initiated in the spring of the following year by N. Beldiceanu and D. Butculescu4. The findings made were announced to the scientific world through articles signed by N. Beldiceanu, Antichitile de la Cucuteni (The Antiquitites at Cucuteni) (1885), and Gr. Buureanu, Noti asupra spturilor i cercetrilor fcute la Cucuteni (Note on the Diggings and Research at Cucuteni) (1889), as well as through communications given by Gr. Buureanu at the International Congress of Anthropology and Praehistoric Archaeology in Paris on 1889, and by D. Diamandi within the Society of Anthropology in Paris (1889)5.

A further stage in the development of archeological research in Iasi gained shape around year 1894, with the creation of an archaeology conference, turned in 1895 into the Archaeology and Antiquities Department within the University of Iai, where professor in ordinary was appointed Teohari Antonescu, a former student of Al. Odobescu and Gr. Tocilescu (Bucharest), and of A. Furtwngler (Mnchen) and A. Collignon (Paris)6. Also, over the last two decades of the 19th century, the Romanian Academy repeatedly took into debate the issue of archeological research in Moldavia, and particularly in the Cucuteni Cetuia area, through the interventions of Al. Odobescu, Gr. Tocilescu, V.A. Urechia, B.P. Hadeu, Gr. Coblcescu, A.D. Xenopol, Gr. tefnescu, and others7.

The second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century are marked in Iasi by the activity of prof. I. Andriesescu, a true founder of prehistoric research in our country, who had first studied in Iasi with professor Teohari Antonescu, then in Berlin and Vienna with H. Schmidt, Ed. Meyer and G. Kossina; his doctoral thesis, Contribuii la Dacia nainte de romani (Contributions to Dacia before the Romanians), defended at Iai in 1912, made a valuable scientific contribution with reference to the entire prehistory of the Carpathian-Danube area.

The beginning of the 20th century is dominated by the research activity Hubert Schmidt carried out at Cucuteni-Iai (concluded with the famous monograph Cucuteni in der Oberen Moldau, Rumanien, Berlin-Leipzig, 1933), as well as by the founding of the Romanian School of Archaeology through the efforts of Vasile Prvan. In 1916, an Antiquities Museum was founded in Iasi by professor O. Tafrali, who, starting with 1927, had the prestigious journal Arta i Arheologia (Art and Archaeology) printed. O. Tafrali was a well-known specialist in ancient history and Byzantinology, appointed on 1913 chief of the Department of Archaeology and Antiquities within the University of Iai, thus becoming the successor of T. Antonescu (following a several year substitution provided by O. Erbiceanu). Like other scholars of the time, he specialized under the guidance of great personalities in the European scientific world, among which Ch. Diehl and A. Collignon, within prestigious scientific institutions in Paris8. The Antiquities Museum represented a laboratory of the Department founded within the University of Iai in 1895, and gave a strong impulse to field research and collecting of archaeological material9. The scientific research activity within the Museum, corroborated with the teaching activity at the University of Iai, prompted the need for a special institute of history and archaeology; this determined professor Ilie Minea to suggest turning the Romanian History Seminar under his direction into an Institute of Romanian History, an application approved of by the Teaching council. The interventions at the Ministry of National Education, Cults and Arts finally materialized in 1941: through the Decree-Law on February 1941 signed by General Ion Antonescu, the History Seminar within Al. I. Cuza University became the INSTITUTE OF ROMANIAN HISTORY A.D. XENOPOL, under the coordination of the University Faculty of Letters and Philosophy; due to the efforts of professor Al. Boldur (the successor of professor Ilie Minea), the activity of the INSTITUTE OF NATIONAL HISTORY A.D. XENOPOL was institutionalized as a distinct research facility within the Ministry of National Culture and

Cults. In 1964, the INSTITUTE OF HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY A.D. XENOPOL was constituted under the Romanian Academy10. A Department of Ancient History and Archaeology had otherwise been founded ever since 1953 within the Institute and coordinated until 1968 the activity of the Antiquities Museum (which had become the Museum of Moldavian History in 1957).

After 1953, the Institute of History and Archaeology A. D. Xenopol in Iai grew into the centre of specialty research and of archaeological research in particular, becoming a nucleus for the activity of specialists both from the University, and from the Museum. The publication, starting from 1961, of the journal Arheologia Moldovei (Archaeology of Moldavia), founded by professor M. Petrescu-Dmbovia, offered scholars in Iai and their colleagues from all over the country the possibility of publishing the results of their own research. Within the Ancient History and Archaeology Department, several archaeological research programmes on the larger systematic digging yards were initiated by C.S. Nicolescu-Plopor, I. Nestor, Vl. Dumitrescu and M. Petrescu-Dmbovia; among these, the programmes at Valea Jijiei, Suceava and on the terraces of Bistria river (Ceahlu area), together with the diggings carried out at the great sites of Cucuteni culture at Hbesti, Iai county, and Trueti, Botoani county, compelled recognition due to the particular value of the results attained. Receiving the State Award on 1951 and on 1954 for their participation in the diggings at Hbesti and contribution to the site monograph meant the first national acknowledgement of the prestige of the archaeological school in Iai, the creation of professor M. Petrescu-Dmbovia. On becoming director of the Institute, professor M. Petrescu-Dmbovia imposed the idea of modernization and diversification of archaeological research as a first requisite to all his collaborators, and gave his generous and persevering support to each and every initiative in the field of multidisciplinary research and international collaborations11. This, too, is the stage when international recognition was first manifested in the cooptation of Institute members in the Permanent Council of the International Union of Praehistoric and Proto-historic Sciences (M.

Petrescu-Dmbovia), in the Permanent Council of the International Union of Slav Archaeology (D. Gh. Teodor) or as full members of the Italian Institute of Praehistory and Protohistory in Torino (M. Petrescu-Dmbovia). During the same period, M. Petrescu-Dmbovia collaborated to the Treatise of Romanian History (edition 1960), and to the Compendium of Romanian History, for distribution abroad. Cooperation with specialists from county museums all over Moldavia and from the Institute of Archaeology in Bucharest helped initiate research projects, some with an interdisciplinary design, regarding prehistoric sites and sites relevant for the Geto-Dacian period, for the Romanian ethnogenesis, and for the Middle Ages, with a view to exploring the development of the Medieval village and town east of the Carpathians. The results of the research were made known in Arheologia Moldovei, in publications of county museums, and in journals of other institutes under the Romanian Academy, as well as in the volumes of international congresses of prehistoric and protohistoric archaeology, where ever more specialists from Iai came to be invited. Scholarships such as Humboldt (I. Ioni) and DAAD (V. Spinei) became applicable due to the undertakings of the Institutes director. The period up to 1990 is also a period of turning to account the field research and systematic diggings carried out all over the territory east of the Carpathians by publishing vast syntheses on archaeological cultures and historical periods12. Among other things, it was this period that most capitalized on the industrious research regarding the so-called Dark Millennium, on which written information is scarce and inconclusive. Several studies and volumes concerning this chronological sequence were elaborated, such as those by D. Gh. Teodor13, S. Sanie, I. Ioni, V. Spinei. Turning the archaeological research on field to scientific account was possible thanks to the restoration-conservation lab, the photo lab and the drawing room functioning satisfactorily within the Institute.

In answer to the efforts of researchers in Iai enjoying the support of academician D.M. Pippidi, the president of the Department for

Historical Sciences and Archaeology within the Romanian Academy passed on March 3rd, 1990 the Decree-Law signed by prime-minister Petre Roman pursuant to which, the Archaeology Department of the Institute of History and Archaeology A.D. Xenopol became the INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY under Iai Branch of the Romanian Academy. Between 1967 and 1989, the director of the Institute of History and Archaeology A.D. Xenopol in Iai became professor M. Petrescu-Dmbovia; between 1990 and 2003, the director of the Institute of Archaeology became professor D. Gh. Teodor14, and, starting from December 2003, the director of the Institute became professor V. Spinei, a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy.

Since the Institutes set up and until this day, specialists here have approached a wide range of themes resulting from the need to fully explore the Carpathian-Danube-Pontic and Dnestrian area from the Palaeolithic and up to the medieval age, themes such as: geo-chronology of the Upper Palaeolithic between Dnestr and Tisa rivers; the cultural complex at Cucuteni-Ariud-Tripolie; the Bronze Age and the first Iron age in the extra-Carpathian regions of Romania; the Thraco-Geto-Dacian civilization in the Carpathian and Dnestrian areas, including contacts with the Greek civilization; Geto-Dacian spirituality; Roman civilization east of the Carpathians and Romanness; the free Dacians in the East-Carpathian area and Romanness; natives and immigrants north of the Lower Danube; Northern-Danube Romanness and the Byzantine Empire from the 4th to the 9th century; Romanian ethnogenesis and the birth of the medieval town in Eastern and Central Europe; to which other significant themes are added from the field of archaeology-related sciences: numismatics, paleobotany, arts and religions, etc. Based on the systematic diggings carried out in numerous archaeological stations located in the Carpathian-Dnestrian area and north-west of the Black Sea (on the territory of Moldavia and Dobrudja) at: Mitoc, Hudum and tefnesti (Botoani county); Suceava, Baia, Siret (Suceava county); Iai, Biceni, Cotnari, Hrlu, Scnteia, Rducneni, Satu Nou, Pocreaca, Mona (Iai county); Poieneti, Brlad, Olteneti, Brlleti (Vaslui county); Borni, Dragomireti, Vntori, Trzia, Nemior (Neam county); Poduri (Bacu county); Tecuci, Poiana, Barboi (Galai county);
