Bodrogkeresztúr and Baden Discoveries from Sânpetru German, Arad County

Summary/Abstract: Archaeological researches have been constantly performed in the Lower Mureş Basin ever since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Numerous prehistoric sites of special importance were discovered and researched over the last 150 years. Nevertheless, many of the performed researches have often remained unpublished and data contained in the specialized literature are lacunal. One of the main current research directions of the Arad Museum is to valorize its rich archaeological collection through the publication of old researches. Thus, through the present study the author aims at presenting the archaeological excavation performed by Egon Dörner, an archaeologist from Arad, in Sânpetru German “Fântâna Vacilor”. Though the site contains multiple layers, the paper only discusses the prehistoric Bodrogkeresztúr and Baden discoveries. One must state that this excavation has been briefly mentioned in the existing literature and some of the artifacts have been illustrated in various works.
