Restituiri. Două mici tezaure descoperite la Poiana în campania 1949
Restitutions. Two small jewellery hoards discovered at Poiana in during the 1949 campaign

Summary/Abstract: The archaeological research carried out in 1949 by Radu Vulpe in the protohistoric settlement of Poiana (Galati County, Romania) led to the discovery of several silver objects. For a long time, how these objects were associated or not, as well as their archaeological contexts, remained unknown.Finding and studying the unpublished Radu Vulpe’s field diary from 1949 allows the identification of two hoards: one consists of a pair of larger Almgren type 82 fibulae, the other includes two other smaller Almgren 82 type fibulae, a lost earring, seven rings and four republican denarii. Other objects uncovered in 1949 were discovered in isolation. Some of these objects provide consistent indications for local processing of precious metals in the late phase of the settlement (late 1st century AD and the beginning of the 2nd century AD). The four silver Almgren type 82 fibulae must be added to the more than four dozen similar fibulae attested so far at Poiana. The supraregional analogies of the Almgren 82 fibulae from Poiana reflect, if only in part, the importance of this centre as a node of a long range network that connected the Empire and the steppe.
