Archaeological monuments
Curtuişeni
From the „Small Ferm” (Kis tanya) were removed some prehistoric fragments.
On the „Cărămidăriei Hill” (Égetö hegy) were discovered clay vessels and ceramic
fragments from the Bronze Age. From here were recovered cups belonging to the last
phase of the Ottoman culture. Also from here were also found bronze objects ( 2 bracelets
with loose ends, 1 dagger, 1 bronze celt, 1 lance edge).
In a bronze deposit belonging to the late Bronze Era and beginning of the
Hallstattian Era 3 massive bracelets, with loose ends, 2 sickles with a limb on the handle,
9 bronze cakes and the upper part of a winged ax.
There were about 50 celtic graves discovered with a rich funerary inventory:
vessels, cups, bowls, fibulae of bronze and iron, bracelets, necklace, tools. The ceramic
vessels are hand made, with motifs borrowed from the local repertoire.
From „Dâmbul livezii” (Liget domb) come some iron parts (umbo sites, of shield,
tools) dated in III-IV centuries, and at „Chapel Hill” (Kápolna hegy) have been uncovered
ruins of a Romanesque church and four tombs with funerary inventory specific to the XIXII century.
