The Archaeological Site Negrilești - Schoolyard, from Galați County. The Preventive Research at the „Manor” Point

Summary/Abstract: The 2024 preventive archaeological research at the Negrilești - Schoolyard site was carried out in response to municipal infrastructure needs and investment projects undertaken by the Negrilești Town Hall in the area. The zone included in the investment project “Sanitation and landscaping of the area of the former boyar manor” is located northeast of the “Pine” point, north of the “Kindergarten” point, and west of St. Nicholas Church, covering part of topographic sector C4 of the Negrilești - Schoolyard archaeological site. This area contains the ruins of the former manor (also used as a school building), constructed after the mid-19th century, situated west of St. Nicholas Church. Between May and October 2024, preventive archaeological excavations were conducted at the Negrilești - Schoolyard site, Galati County, in the “Manor” area, by opening four excavation areas (S1C, S2C, S3C, S4C), totaling 300 square metres. The excavated areas allowed the investigation of four rooms (the main hall, Rooms 1, 2, 5, and 7), as well as areas outside the main building and its annex, in order to study the archaeological context on which these structures were built. The research revealed foundation walls beneath the floor of the ruined building, along with reconstructions from different phases. The main building is in an advanced state of deterioration, while only the foundations of the annex have been preserved. Within the four excavated areas, 50 habitation complexes from different periods (Neolithic, Bronze Age, Post-Roman period, Premedieval Era and Modern Era) were identified, along with 98 medieval funerary complexes and building structures dating to the 19th-20th centuries.
