Despre cele două morminte din tell-ul de la Dridu / On the two graves from the Dridu-tell
Authors: Oţa Liana , Georgescu Migdonia , Baltă Zizi-Ileana
Published: February 2020

În anul 1958, în tell-ul situat la nord de aşezarea medievală de la Dridu au fost descoperite două morminte de inhumaţie (M. 1 şi M. 2). Cele două complexe funerare nu au fost descrise detaliat şi au fost publicate fără ilustraţie. Studiul reia discuţia despre cele două morminte şi o completează cu precizări din carnetul de săpătură al Eugeniei Zaharia, o descriere amănunţită, însoţită de desene şi fotografii, a pieselor de inventar, determinarea compoziţiei mărgelelor din sticlă şi a obiectelor de metal (cu excepţia fierului). Examenul microscopic a permis observaţii amănunţite referitoare la caracteristicile morfologice ale mărgelelor din sticlă din M. 2. Trăsăturile caracteristice de ritual şi inventar ale M. 2, încadrat cronologic în a doua etapă de pătrundere a sarmaţilor în Muntenia, au fost analizate într-o lucrare recentă, iar studiul acesta îşi propune doar să completeze câteva aspecte. Corelarea M. 1 cu prezenţa sarmatică în Muntenia nu poate fi exclusă în totalitate. Totuşi, prea multele incertitudini legate de ritualul funerar (petele de arsură de pe unele oase, faptul că oasele nu au fost găsite în conexiune anatomică, ci deranjate) şi inventarul mormântului (din care au mai fost recuperate doar fragmente de piese din bronz, fier sau lemn) sunt cele care au impus opţiunea de a încadra complexul funerar amintit în rândul mormintelor incerte cronologic şi nu în cel al complexelor funerare sarmatice sigure.
The ‘invisible’ pits: how informative are old excavations in discussing Middle Palaeolithic burials?
Authors: Doboş Adrian
Published: February 2020

In this paper I focus on the potential of Palaeolithic sites excavated before the establishment of modern methods, aiming to provide reliable information on current debates. Specifically, I will address the reliability of the information coming from such hominin fossil sites to provide data on the first appearance of hominin burials. In three cases (Vogelherd, Balla, and Velika Pećina), hominin fossils previously regarded as Palaeolithic in age, were proven to be much younger after being directly dated. Regardless of the nature of post‐ depositional processes which might have affected the integrity and position of the fossils, these cases highlight that sites excavated prior to 1960s– 1970s have limited potential in contributing data to the debate on Palaeolithic burials. Subsequently, I present a brief overview of the Middle Palaeolithic sites involved in the debate on the Middle Palaeolithic burials ; many of them provide equivocal data on the presence of pits, and very few have hominin fossils directly dated. Therefore, I conclude that the evidence available from earlier excavated sites provides insufficient data to support the existence of Middle Palaeolithic burials.
Descoperiri funerare din epoca mijlocie a bronzului în valea Râului Negru (jud. Covasna) / Middle Bronze Age funerary discoveries in the Black River Valley (Covasna County)
Authors: Puskás József
Published: February 2020

The present paper deals with some Middle Bronze Age burials in the valley of the Black River, in south‐ eastern Transylvania, Covasna County. The material published (analyzed) came from the excavations made in the early 1910’ s and between the 1960– 1990. Some of these burials have been published already, but we considered a reevaluation as being necessary. The burial at Poian – Panta de piatră was only mentioned in a half sentence, providing no information about grave goods, context, etc. The findings at Sânzieni – Piatra de tocilă were connected to the Tumulus Culture, unknown in the studied area. We consider they belong to a Wietenberg burial, since Wietenberg pottery was discovered in the settlement layer. Another discovery connected to the Middle Bronze Age was also made at Sânzieni, in the place called Locul domnesc. One funeral urn was discovered at Turia – Groapa caprei. We have been able to identify another urn, which probably belonged to a second burial. The burials can be dated to the Wietenberg II phase since the complex decorating motifs, characterizing the IIIrd phase are totally missing. The urns were buried in the vicinity of the settlements or inside them. An exception are the burials at Turia (including the necropolis), where the closest settlement is at 900 m.
Atestarea arheologică a celei de a patra linii de fortificații a cetății de epoca bronzului de la Cornești – Iarcuri (jud. Timiș) / Archaeological evidence for the fourth line of fortification of the Bronze Age fortress from Cornești – Iarcuri (Timiş County)
Authors: Szentmiklosi Alexandru , Bălărie Andrei , Heeb Bernhard S. , Urdea Petru
Published: February 2020

The first attestation of the fortification at Cornești – Iarcuri is given by a 1720 military map (“Mappa vom der Temesvaer District”) and the fortification continued to be more or less schematically marked, on the later maps from the 18th and 19th centuries. Initially, only three ramparts were mentioned at Iarcuri. Because of their concentric layout, the fortification was assigned to the Avar period. The archaeological excavations from the first half of the 20th century dated the fortification at Cornești – Iarcuri to the Bronze Age. Interrupted by WWII, the archaeological excavations were resumed in the autumn of 2007, and they have continued until present within an international research project. The new archaeological excavations based on modern methods of research confirmed the previous proposals for a Late Bronze Age dating. At the same time, the LiDAR scanning and the magnetic prospections confirmed the observations made on the aerial photos from 1959 and 1973, which revealed the existence of a forth enclosure. The rampart of Enclosure IV, situated to the exterior of the fortification, covered an area of 1,765 ha. The 2011 archaeological investigations aimed at obtaining the archaeological evidence that would confirm the existence of the rampart of Enclosure IV. In the area where the archaeological excavation was conducted, investigations concerning the Spontaneous Potential of the ground were also carried out, parallel to the magnetic prospection. Area T. IV/ 2011 was situated ca. 500 m east of the north-eastern corner of Cornești village, and ca. 35 m west from the access gate into Enclosure IV, as revealed by the magnetic prospections. The rampart of Enclosure IV was made of clay lentils and battered soil. It was defended by a ditch over 9 m in width and 2.50 m in depth at the moment of its usage. The role of the fourth enclosure is difficult to determine, since the length of the rampart would not allow for an efficient defense. Thus, the interpretation of the Cornești – Iarcuri fortification cannot be reduced only to that of a construction with a military role. Very probably, this huge Bronze Age fortification emphasized the economic power (and, implicitly, the military one) of a group of communities. Behind them, one can see the existence of the warrior elite whose leaders were able to control and coordinate both the huge construction effort necessary for the four enclosures, and, the long-term maintenance of the ramparts and the defensive ditches.

Roman lamps discovered at Histria, in the Acropolis Centre‐South Sector (2013 and 2015)
Authors: Bivolaru Alexandra , Bottez Valentin
Published: February 2020

Even if it represents an important ceramic category, given the quantity of material discovered during archaeological excavations, as well as the chronological information they offer, lamps have not drawn enough the attention of the specialists. The fragments presented in this paper pertain to seven types, six of which were produced in the eastern part of the Empire or were imitated in the provinces on the western Black Sea shore, while the last type is a North African production.

În lumina datelor arheologice și a surselor scrise disponibile, Tomis, capitala administrativă și religioasă a provinciei Scythia, se dovedește un spațiu urban unde cultul relicvelor cunoaște o amplă dezvoltare de- a lungul întregii perioade a Antichității târzii. Pluralitatea edificiilor de cult creștine în cadrul urban al Tomisului și, în consecință, a dispozitivelor pentru venerarea relicvelor, constituie o realitate factuală ce permite o serie de concluzii privind manifestările devoționale și diversitatea soluțiilor de punere în valoare a acestor resturi sfinte. În panorama vieții religioase creștine din capitala Scythiei, relicvarul de marmură descoperit întâmplător în zona lacului Tăbăcăriei în a doua jumătate a secolului XX, constituie un unicum. Prezentarea autorilor merge în această direcție, discutând condițiile de descoperire ale piesei, iconografia și posibila sa încadrare cronologică.
Cuptorul de olar din secolul al VIII lea p.Chr. de la Sighişoara – Dealul Viilor / A pottery kiln from the 8th century AD discovered at Sighişoara – Dealul Viilor
Authors: Spânu Daniel , Gáll Erwin
Published: February 2020

During the campaigns of 2012 and 2013 from Sighișoara – Dealul Viilor site, in the area ‘Necropolis’, a potter’s kiln of the late Avar age (8th century) was identified and investigated. The discovery was made at the foot of a steep hill called Dealul Viilor (Fig. 1), and consisted of an oven pit and the kiln itself (Figs. 2– 4). The large oven pit (over 3 m on its E-W axis and about 5 m long on the NS axis) could not be entirely uncovered, continuing in areas still unexcavated. On the floor of the oven pit (- 1.20/- 1.35 m depth) which consists of organic material (wood ash), a relatively rectangular shaped furnace was set up with rounded corners. The kiln consists of four components : ware chamber (Fig. 5/ a), combustion chamber (Fig. 5/ c), firetunnel or praefurnium (Fig. 5/ d) and stokers pit (Fig. 5/ e). The upper and lower chambers are separated by a firing chamber’s grid floor or sola with several vent holes (fig. 5/ b). Thus, the potter’s kiln from Dealul Viilor can be defined as a bicameral one, with vertical ventilation and lateral alimentation. From within the kiln, 235 sherds were collected, documented and statistically evaluated. Most of them (227 of 235) come from pots dated to the 8th century AD (Figs. 6– 7 and Pls. 1– 7), but several prehistoric pottery fragments belonging to the Wietenberg culture were identified as well (Pl. 8/ nos. 63, 64, 71), in addition to material dated to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD (Pl. 8/ nos. 37, 38, 55, 62). Most fragments from the 8th century AD material originate from vessels produced on the slow wheel, some decorated with incised horizontal lines made with comb or broom. In the current stage of research, the kiln from Sighișoara – Dealul Viilor is the only such discovery known in Transylvania, and one of the very few in the Carpathian Basin dated to time of the Avar Khaganate (Fig. 8, Appendix 2).
Obiceiuri cotidiene reflectate arheologic în Timișoara otomană. Observații asupra pipelor de lut / Daily customs reflected in the archaeology of Ottoman Timişoara. Notes on the clay pipes
Authors: Gașpar Adriana
Published: February 2020

Articolul prezintă un număr de 29 de pipe de lut întregi şi fragmentare descoperite în cadrul săpăturilor arheologice preventive efectuate în anul 2014 pe străzile Lucian Blaga şi Radu Negru din Timişoara. Au fost observate trei grupe principale, fiecare cu variantele lor : Grupa I (pipe roşii nedecorate), Grupa II (pipe otomane), Grupa III (pipe ungurești). Pipele reprezintă producții otomane sau derivate ale acestora și au fost realizate în spațiul balcanic în perioada secolului al XVII- lea și prima jumătate a secolului al XVIII- lea. Unele îşi găsesc analogii printre pipele descoperite în anul 2006 în centrul Timişoarei (Piaţa Sfântul Gheorghe, Piaţa Libertăţii şi strada 9 Mai). Materialul utilizat a fost lutul gri, roşiatic sau pasta din caolin. Sunt produse de serie, obţinute în tipare cu două valve, simple sau decorate în negativ. Predomină motivele geometrice, florale sau combinate ori, mai târziu, decorul realizat ulterior prin ştampilare sau cu rotiţa dinţată în pasta moale, înainte de ardere. Trei dintre piesele publicate s‐ au găsit în umplutura complexelor arheologice, iar restul provin din niveluri otomane, straturi cu pământ amestecat și umpluturi cu moloz sau din niveluri afectate de intervenţiile edilitare din perioada modernă.
Upper Palaeolithic supply sources: assessing chert occurrence and availability in the Lower Danube Valley
Authors: Ciornei Alexandru
Published: February 2020

De multă vreme încoace, studiile asupra materiilor prime utilizate pentru producerea uneltelor cioplite s- au concentrat pe determinarea provenienței celei mai probabile, prin tehnici analitice de investigație, care să reducă distanța dintre variațiile caracteristicilor sursei și artefactelor. Aspecte mai puțin abordate în aceste studii sunt ocurența și disponibilitatea materiilor prime. În cazul specific al Văii Dunării inferioare, ocurența și disponibilitatea silicolitelor utilizate în siturile paleolitice din această zonă au fost abordate prin investigații de teren (periegheze de o zi concentrate în jurul siturilor) și analiza morfometrică a probelor colectate. Perieghezele au confirmat existența silicolitelor în diverse depozite aluviale de pe Valea Dunării : în pietrișurile terasei inferioare la Grojdibodu și Gura Padinii (județul Olt, la sud de Vădastra) ; în pietrișurile luncii la Poiana şi pietrișurile Formațiunii de Frătești la Ciuperceni (județul Teleorman) ; în pietrișurile Formațiunii de Frătești la Ghizdaru, Bălănoaia, Băneasa, Pietrele (județul Giurgiu) ; în pietrișurile terasei joase la vest şi est de Giurgiu ; în pietrișurile terasei superioare la Căscioarele (județul Călărași). Analiza morfometrică (dimensiuni, formă, sfericitate, grad de rotunjire) a probelor colectate a evidențiat faptul că silicolitele au diferite aspecte morfologice : claste foarte rotunjite de dimensiuni medii (6– 8 cm lungime) transportate de către ape pe distanțe lungi (mai ales la Grojdibodu, Poiana, dar şi la Ciuperceni) ; claste subangulare şi subrotunjite de dimensiuni medii (între 6 și 16 cm) ce atestă transportul pe distanțe scurte (mai ales la Ciuperceni, Căscioarele, dar şi în zona Giurgiu) ; claste subangulare, subrotunjite şi rotunjite de dimensiuni medii și mari (de la 6 la peste 20 cm) ce sugerează transportul pe distanțe mai mari (în depozitele Formațiunii de Frătești din zona Giurgiu). Aceste silicolite au fost transportate pe distanțe mai mici şi mai mari din Podişul Prebalcanic de către râurile balcanice şi depozitate în sudul României sub formă de conuri aluviale (Formațiunea de Frătești), ulterior reciclate şi redepozitate în terasele Dunării. Examinarea probelor din situri arheologice a dovedit că aceste surse aluviale cu silicolite au fost utilizate pentru cioplirea uneltelor necesare oamenilor din Paleoliticul superior.
Les industries lithiques énéolithiques de la Dobroudja du Nord

Published: February 2020

The archaeological mission « Delta du Danube » is studying for more than six years the coevolution human-environment in the Danube Delta at the end of the Neolithic. This article offers a synthesis of the main results obtained from the analysis of the Gumelnița lithic industry in the Northern Dobrogea. The authors have taken into consideration both older collections as well as new ones discovered during the excavations deployed in the mentioned archaeological mission, most of all the tell settlement Taraschina (Maliuc commune). This variety of information allowed a good characterization of the Gumelnița lithic series discovered in the north of Dobrogea. The most important characteristic is represented by the import of raw material from the prebalkanic platform situated in the north-east of Bulgaria. These imports were oriented towards blade type products that were later transformed into a variety of finished objects. The typology is dominated by the end-scraper. A complete technological image will allow integrating the lithic information in the reflections regarding the socio-economic and environmental changes inside Gumelnița societies.
Stone objects from the territory of ancient city Orgame / Argamum. Preliminary results
Authors: Streinu Marius
Published: February 2020

The present paper presents and provides an interpretation of five classes of stone objects resulting from field research of the French-Romanian project “ Orgamè/ Argamum, nécropoles et territoire”. The objects were discovered in sites placed around the Razim Lake, belonging to different historical periods. They are divided in two categories and fall under various types, starting with weapons and finishing with common household items. This diversity gives us the opportunity to observe the origin of stones and the techniques of their production. An important point is to understand for which purpose various stone objects were used in different periods of time, in a limited and well defined geographical area, so that we obtain new information about various aspects of the military and economic spheres.
Recente descoperiri paleolitice în sud-estul Transilvaniei: microzona Rupea – Homorod – Ungra, judeţul Braşov / Recent Palaeolithic discoveries in southeastern Transylvania: Rupea – Homorod – Ungra micro-area, Braşov County
Authors: Doboş Adrian , Gridan Silviu
Published: February 2020

Our paper presents newly discovered Palaeolithic site(s) near the city of Rupea (Brașov County). The lithic pieces were found in the ploughed fields. The assemblage mainly features massive flakes knapped in siliceous sandstone. Among the retouched tools, the most numerous are the sidescrapers ; we also identified a Levallois core and two Levallois flakes. We suggest that the lithic inventory belongs to the Middle Palaeolithic.
Obsidian finds from the Early Neolithic site at Grumăzeşti – Deleni, Neamţ County
Authors: Boroneanţ Adina , Diaconu Vasile , Bonsall Clive
Published: February 2020

The site of Grumăzești – Deleni (Neamț County) was excavated by Silvia Marinescu‐ Bîlcu during the late 1960s and 1970s. The excavations unearthed the remains of an Early Neolithic (Starčevo‐ Criș) settlement, as well as traces of occupation during the Bronze Age (Komariv and Noua cultures) and the 3rd– 4th centuries AD. The excavator’s field notes mention abundant obsidian finds associated with the Early Neolithic occupational layer. However, these original obsidian finds have been mislaid and were not available for analysis. During field surveys undertaken in the general area of the site in 2011 and 2017– 2018, a further ten obsidian artefacts were recovered. Non‐ destructive Energy Dispersive X‐ ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of these new obsidian finds was undertaken using a Niton ‘ XL3t ultra’ handheld portable XRF analyzer. Based on their geochemical and macroscopic characteristics they likely all originated in the Carpathian 1 source area.
Cernavodă – Columbia D puzzle : the Skull Complex
Authors: Kogălniceanu Raluca , Simalcsik Angela
Published: February 2020

This paper focuses on the re‐ analysis of a feature from the Late Neolithic Hamangia cemetery at Cernavodă – Columbia D (Constanţa County, Romania), excavated at the middle of the last century. The analysis took place in several stages : processing of archaeological information, anthropological re‐ evaluation, combination of the two sets of data, and interpretation. The sample of the re‐ analysed human osteological material includes 11 fragmentary crania and several dozens of other cranial and postcranial remains. Two of the crania present interesting characteristics : one was cut, broken, with a postmortem trepanation, and was polished, while the other bears the traces of a benign tumoral cyst. Another skull fragment bears traces of postmortem burning. In addition to human remains, this feature yielded a pig mandible, freshwater mussel shells, a bolder, a pottery sherd and a fragment of a stalactite/ stalagmite.

Published: February 2020

The aim of this study is to provide extensive information regarding the results of the archaeological research carried out during the autumn of 2017 in Coada Izvorului locality, Măneşti commune (Prahova County). Within less than two weeks, the Prahova County Museum of History and Archaeology excavated using mechanised equipment an earth mound with a height of 1.2 m and a diameter of 35 m. It contained a total number of three graves, two of which were prehistoric, dating from the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, while the third was assigned to the Turkic nomad populations from the beginning of the 2nd millennium AD. No grave goods were found in the prehistoric burials, however the later one had two iron items, respectively an arrowhead and a ring, both of which were poorly preserved.
Despre obiceiurile funerare ale nomazilor timpurii din stepele est‐europene (sec. X–VIII î.Hr.) / On the burial customs of the early nomads from the east‐European steppes (10th–8th century BC)
Authors: Sârbu Dorin
Published: February 2020

This article proposes an ordering of the information regarding funerary practices in the Eastern European steppe in the Early Iron Age (10th– 8th centuries BC), as well as a study of their territorial distribution. Traditionally, this area has been considered as a whole. The archaeological finds, almost entirely funerary, are attributed to a unitary culture (“ Cimmerian culture” / “ Černogorovka culture”) and to a homogeneous ethnic group (“ Cimmerians”) respectively. Apart from some general funeral practices (the treatment of the deceased, the graves structures), some habits (especially of deposition) are more clearly bounded geographically, sometimes partially overlapped, as in the case of the Dnieper basin. However, there are no compartments that would allow us to define narrower archaeological cultures. Moreover, such an approach would once again strengthen the culture history paradigm, which is dominant in the studying of “ early nomads” of the Eastern European steppes. Reconstructions based on this paradigm are actually caught in a vicious circle : starting from Herodotus'' information an archaeological culture has been defined, and the study of this archaeological culture inevitably confirms the written information. More promising could instead be the study of contexts in which different items were used in funerary ceremonies. This approach would have the advantage of highlighting the ways in which different communities from steppe or forest steppe area behaved, without levelling them under the name of one or another archaeological culture.
The compositional analysis of copper and bronze Greek coins found at Histria (Acropolis Centre-South Sector) using a portable X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer
Authors: Ţârlea Alexandra , Georgescu Migdonia , Vîlcu Aurel
Published: February 2020

A number of 42 Greek coins (most of them issued and/ or circulated at Histria during the autonomous period of the city and several issued by Histria during Roman times) were found during the 2013‐ 2016 archaeological campaigns conducted in the Acropolis Centre‐ South Sector. The coins, made of copper and copper‐ based alloys, were subject to a non‐ invasive compositional analysis using a portable X‐ Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer, in order to determine trends and technological choices in the coinage production. The composition of these items was compared to that characterising a batch of coins found at Histria during older excavations.
Reindeer exploitation in the Upper Palaeolithic site of Buda, Eastern Romania. Evidence from older and newer excavations
Authors: Dumitraşcu Valentin , Vasile Ştefan
Published: February 2020

The Upper Palaeolithic site from Buda (Bacău County) has been known since 1952 for the large amount of animal bones discovered alongside Gravettian tools. The revision of the osteological material from the old excavations (1958– 1960), as well as the study of newly discovered specimens excavated in the 2012– 2014 field seasons was carried out. The faunal material is dominated by long bone epiphyses and elements of the distal limbs, suggesting that the site functioned, for a short period, as a butchery site where the steppe bison and reindeer carcasses were dismembered, long bones were cracked for marrow extraction and then the skeletal elements that presented no interest were abandoned. Based on the population structure and reindeer antler development, we estimate that the hunting expeditions took place at the beginning of the cold season.
Sourcing obsidian artefacts from Early Neolithic sites in South-Central Romania

Published: February 2020

Spectrometrul portabil cu raze X (pXRF) a fost utilizat pentru a determina semnătura chimică a 60 de piese din obsidian provenind din două situri neolitice timpurii din Muntenia, sudul României : Uliești din județul Dâmbovița și Măgura – Buduiasca din județul Teleorman. Conform rezultatelor obținute, comunitățile Starčevo‐ Criș din ambele localități au folosit obsidian care provenea din surse geologice carpatice. Obsidianul din zonele sursă C1 și C2 apare la Măgura, în timp ce numai obsidianul de tip C1 a fost documentat în ansamblul litic mult mai redus de la Uliești. Sunt discutate apoi implicațiile acestor rezultate pentru modelele de obținere a obsidianului de către comunitățile neolitice timpurii din zona nord‐ balcanică.
Industria materiilor dure animale din tell-ul gumelnițean de la Pietrele. Reevaluarea vechilor colecții arheologice / Antler and bone artefacts from the Gumelniţa tell settlement at Pietrele. A re-evaluation of the old archaeological collections
Authors: Mărgărit Monica , Toderaş Meda
Published: February 2020

The tell‐ settlement of Pietrele is a landmark for the understanding of the Gumelnița communities north of the Danube. Archaeological research began in 1943 under the direction of D. Berciu who subsequently published a synthesis report of the main finds but it was just a quantitative enumeration of items without a description of the technological and use‐ wear marks on the hard animal material artefacts. Consequently, we tried to identify the number of such archaeological items from the old excavations which are still present in the collection of the “ Vasile Pârvan” Institute of Archaeology and then to present a different type of analysis drawing conclusions related to the economic and spiritual characteristics of the Gumelnița community at Pietrele. Firstly, we aimed to identify the raw materials from which the pieces were made. Secondly, typological categories were established. For each of these categories, the operational scheme was reconstituted and then the possible use‐ wear marks were identified, pointing towards the way the artefacts were used.

Despre un posibil cimitir al deţinuţilor politic de la Poarta Albă, judeţul Constanţa / On a possible cemetery of political prisoners at Poarta Albă, Constanţa County
Authors: Corbu Emilia , Pandrea Stănică
Published: February 2020

The construction of the Danube – Black Sea Canal started after 1948, during the communist regime. It was built with the effort of tens of thousands of political prisoners who manually (mostly) excavated the Canal which afterwards became part of the Carasu irrigation system. A series of memoirs, accounts and historical documents indicate that a great number of people died because of the strenuous work, malnutrition and poor conditions of hygiene. The dead were buried in mass graves or penal cemeteries. Marking these events in the field and also in the collective memory is the duty of both local authorities and historians. An area of almost 2000 m2 came to the attention of archaeologists. In the southern half, the A area, the land has an alveolar shape and it is formed of sediments of yellow clay. In the northern half, the B area, the soil is at the same level with the other cemeteries from the neighbourhood. The presence of a mass grave was the main assumed hypothesis while investigating the A area. This area is rectangular, 33 × 30 m, and oriented E– W. The lowest level is at -0,80 m below the present day one, measured on the northern side, where this entire formation is limited by a ridge. Archaeological excavations uncovered a cluster of large, 2 m deep pits that covered an area of ca. 150 m2. The pits were filled with black soil taken from the neighbouring area. Some of the pits were dug into the yellow clean virgin soil, but others cut and destroyed different pits filled with dirtyyellow soil with brown thin deposits. Chronologically, the pits were assigned to the contemporary period, more precisely to the communist age. In these pits no human bones were recovered from the latter pits and their function remains obscure so far. In the levelling layer overlapping the pits with dark soil, were founds lids marked RPR, thus prior to 1965. The functionality of these pits is obscure. It is worth retaining the account of some former prisoners who remembered that the firing of limestone (used in the construction of the canal) was done in pits. The possibility of slaking pits, where limestone was burnt in order to obtain the lime for the construction of the canal, can be taken into account. Five graves were discovered in Area B. The site plan and the orientation of the pits suggest a contemporary cemetery (post 1945). The graves are narrow and not very deep (-1 -1.40 m) and they correspond to the size of the “ coffins” used (wooden boxes). Certainly, it is a cemetery for social outcasts. During the communist era, the vast majority of such outcasts were political prisoners. The authors believe that some of the archaeological arguments (such as location, density of graves, lack of markers and grave goods) and the anthropological analysis of the skeleton discovered in Grave 3, suggest political prisoners buried in the area.

Objetivo. Conocer las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de las gestantes con tuberculosis (TB), en el Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP), en el periodo 2010-2014. Pacientes y método. Estudio observacional, retrospectivo, transversal, descriptivo, desarrollado en el INMP. La población estuvo constituida por las gestantes con tuberculosis. Se recolectaron los datos registrados en las historias clínicas. Resultados. Se presentaron 49 casos (incidencia: 6 casos por cada 10 000 partos); de ellos, 38 fueron TB pulmonar (77,55 %) y 11, TB extrapulmonar (22,45 %). La enfermedad fue más frecuente durante la gestación (61,22 %). El principal síntoma fue la tos (46,95 %). Fueron más frecuentes la radiografía de tórax patológica (83,67 %) y BK positivo en esputo (57,14 %). La edad promedio fue 24,35 ± 7,65 años y la edad gestacional promedio, 38,08 ± 2,110 semanas. Las nulíparas fueron más frecuentes (55,1 %). El número de controles prenatales promedio fue 5,35 ± 2,93. La secundaria completa (63,27 %),  el concubinato y la procedencia de San Juan de Lurigancho (24,49%) fueron los más frecuentes. Se presentaron tres casos con antecedentes de TB, doce con TB, uno con diabetes mellitus, uno con VIH positivo y la mayoría tenían anemia (75,10%). El 69,39% de las gestantes culminaron el parto por vía vaginal. Fueron más frecuentes el parto prematuro (18,37%) y los recién nacidos del sexo masculino. La mayoría tuvieron buen puntaje en la prueba de Apgar al nacer. El peso promedio al nacer fue de 3097,98 ± 528,89 gramos; 89,79 % de los nacidos vivos tuvieron peso adecuado para su edad gestacional y 10,21 % fueron pequeños para su edad gestacional. 12,24 % tuvieron bajo peso al nacer y 18,37 % fueron prematuros.

Introducción. En adultos, la proteína C reactiva es un marcador de riesgo cardiovascular que se asocia con los factores de riesgo metabólicos tradicionales y predice eventos cardiovasculares. Objetivo. Determinar la relación entre los valores de proteína C reactiva, detectada con técnicas ultrasensibles (PCRus),y la adiposidad abdominal y otros factores de riesgo cardiovasculares tradicionales, en escolares. Materiales y Método. Estudio de tipo analítico, correlacional y transversal. El trabajo se realizó con escolares del primero al sexto grado de educación primaria, de la Institución Educativa Privada Héroes del Pacífico, del distrito de San Juan de Miraflores, en Lima, en el 2012. Se incluyeron a quienes fueron autorizados por sus padres o tutores. Se realizaronmediciones antropométricas: peso, talla, índice de masa corporal (IMC) y circunferencia de la cintura (CC). Resultados. Fueron estudiados 100 escolares; 46 niñas y 54 niños, con edad promedio de 8,78 ± 1,76 años. 74 % tenían peso normal; 24%, obesidad y 2%, sobrepeso. La media de PCRus fue 1,47 mg/l. En ambos sexos, la proteína C reactiva se correlacionó en forma directa ysignificativa con el IMC (p < 0,01) y la CC (p < 0,05). En las niñas se encontró una asociación inversa significativa de la PRCus con el cHDL (p < 0,05). En los niños, la proteína C reactiva no se correlacionó en forma significativa conel colesterol total y cLDL. COnClusiOnes. El mejor predictor de concentraciones elevadas de PCRus fue el índice  de masa corporal. En los niños, la PCRus se asocia en  forma directa y significativa con el grado de adiposidad,especialmente el índice de masa corporal, pero no con los factores de riesgo cardiovascular tradicionales.

Authors: Sanabria-Rojas Hernán A.
Published: February 2020

Introducción. Recientes epidemias de enfermedades infecciosas desatendidas (EID) traen a colación problemas existentes como el poco desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos por parte de la industria farmacéutica. Se genera así poca o nula oferta de medicamentos contra dichas enfermedades. Dentro del proceso de globalización, la industria farmacéutica viene desarrollando una estrategiamultinacional para nuevos medicamentos según su interés en los países en vías de desarrollo. Dado que el tema tiene repercusiones en los aspectos económico, ético, político y de derechos humanos, se busca ampliar el conocimiento sobre el proceso de ejecución de ensayos clínicos (EC) sobre EID en Perú. MateRiales y MétOdO. Se revisaron 1493 EC autorizados en el Perú entre julio de 1995 yjunio 2015. Cada uno de los títulos correspondientes a las EID autorizadas fue verificado según el código del proyecto que figura en la página web del Instituto Nacional de Salud. ResultadOs. En los 20 años evaluados, se autorizaron 17 EC y 2 estaban en proceso de autorización. Los hallazgos representaron 1,3% del total de los protocolos autorizados; es decir, 0,95 estudios clínicos sobre EID por año de estudio. La razón EID/noEID fue 1/78. Los EC en EID realizados en Perú corres pondieron a cisticercosis, leishmaniosis, estrongiloidiasis, dengue, fiebre amarilla y geohelmintiasis, entre otros parásitos, como criptosporidiosis.COnClusiOnes. Entre julio 1995 y junio 2015, en Perú hubo un escaso número de ensayos clínicos sobre nuevos medicamentos contra las enfermedades infecciosas desatendidas; esto es responsabilidad de quienes están a cargo de desarrollar nuevos medicamentos. En consecuencia, las personas que requieran dichos medicamentos tendrán poco o nulo acceso a ellos.

Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados al abandono del tratamientoantituberculoso en un centro de salud de atención primaria del distrito de Chorrillos, Lima, Perú. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos y controles retrospectivo no pareado. Se definió como caso a los pacientes que abandonaron el tratamiento por un periodo de 30 días consecutivos o más y como controles a los pacientes que terminaron el tratamiento antituberculoso. Se evaluó el puntaje de riesgo de abandono que se realiza en el centro de salud (≥22), así como variables demográficas. Se calculó el odds ratio (OR) e intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%) usando regresión logística. Resultados: Se incluyó 34 controles y 102 casos. En el análisis multivariado se encontró que quienes cursaron menos de seis años de educación (OR: 22,2; IC95%: 1,9-256,1)así como quienes tenían un puntaje ≥ a 22 puntos en la prueba de riesgo de abandono (OR= 21,4; IC95%: 6,3-72,4) tenían mayor probabilidad de abandonar el tratamiento antituberculoso. Conclusión: El abandono del tratamiento antituberculoso está asociado con tener menos de seis años de educación y un score mayor a 22 puntos en la prueba de abandono de tratamiento antituberculoso.

Se presenta un caso de mordedura por Phoneutria nigriventer atendido en el C.S. I-1 “El Ingenio” en el año 2015. El caso fue de sintomatología leve a moderada y de muy buena evolución en un paciente escolar por entrada accidental de la especie en su calzado. El phoneutrismo es un aracneismo poco habitual en el Perú debido al gran desconocimiento por parte del personal médico y paramédico con el consecuente subregistro de dichos casos; sobre todo en zonas rurales dedicadas a la producción de plátanos, observándose adaptación de la especie en la costa norte; por ello presentamos este caso, el cual permitirá identificar éstos accidentes para su apropiado manejo y control.
