Abstract
This project seeks to address the lack of geomagnetic field data for the territory of Romania by sampling and analysing burnt archaeological
features and sediments. The aim of this paper is to present the initial directional results and some magnetic mineralogical determinations
from five features sampled during the first field season. Representative examples of directional and magnetic mineralogical
analyses are presented, and dates are obtained using the REN-DATE software [Lanos, P., Kovacheva, M., Chauvin, A., 1999. Archaeomagnetism,
methodology and applications: implementation and practice of the archaeomagnetic method in France and Bulgaria. Journal
of European Archaeology, 2, 365¿392] and the published moving window averaged data from Hungary [Ma´rton, P., 2003. Recent
achievements in archaeomagnetism in Hungary. Geophysical Journal International 153(3), 675¿690]. A comparison is made of the data
obtained in this study with the published directional data from Bulgaria, Hungary and Ukraine.
