It was a Dacian fortified town. The site was discovered in 2007 by a team of archeologists led by Liviu Măruia and Dorel Micle. [2] The first excavations were carried out in 2009, and in the following years traces of habitation from the first Iron Age ( Hallstatt culture), the Dacian period (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the Slavic migration period (7th century) were discovered here. [3] According to Micle and other local archeologists, the four-hectare site could overlap the ancient polis of Zurobara, mentioned by Ptolemy in his Geographia. [4] [5] [6]
