UN REPERTORIU ARHEOLOGIC AL JUDEȚULUI BACĂU?
AN ARCHEOLOGICAL REPERTORY OF BACĂU COUNTY?

Summary/Abstract: The preparation and creation of Archaeological Repertories of Romanian Counties is a topic that has been approach by specialists in the field ever since the middle of the 20th century, through the famous „Work plan of the Institute for History and Philosophy of Bucharest”. Thus, in 1949, this plan foresaw the „preparation of Romanian Archaeological Repertory”. The purpose of such papers, either those regarding the counties, or those of general nature, has been and still is „to collect and group information on archaeological discoveries on Romanian territory”, the general concept being that to prepare „a guiding scientific instrument for future researches in the field, specialized studies and setting a base to prepare the country’s archaeological map”. Thus, for Bacau County, as integral part of Romanian administrative territory, up to the present date, no such scientific document, so necessary for young and old archaeologists alike has not yet been prepared, edited and printed. Over the years, several synthesis concerning archaeological research in the country have been published, among which we can mention the studies/ articles published by: Marilena Florescu, Viorel Capitanu (1969); Viorel Capitanu (1982); Elena-Lacramioara Istina (2007); Vasile Ursachi (2007); Ioan Mitrea (2007) or Alexandru Artimon (2007). At the same time, not without importance is the Chronicle of Archaeological Research in Romania, a publication that since 1983 has developed a true spirit of contemporary archaeological research in our country. Diagnosis reports and land assessment, archaeological research reports (preventive, salvaging, systematic) make reference to significant discoveries on Bacau County territory as well. Could these synthesis (published in 1969, 1982 and 2007) and the archaeological reports published between 1983 and 2021 (including those that will follow) be a starting point for the preparation, editing and printing of an Archaeological Repertory of Bacau County? The ruthless time shall prove the utility of such a publication.
