Archaeological Research in the Proximity of Drăguşeni Village (Suceava County) in the Letters sent by Dimitrie Drăguşanu to Vasile Ciurea
Abstract
The Romanian interwar archaeology was an activity dependent of some enthusiastic amateurs. A few specialized institutions could not cover the whole country and were underfunded. This situation was specific for the Falticeni region, where a regional and a complex museum existed since 1914. Vasile Ciurea, its director, worked with many intellectuals in the region to identify archaeological sites and recover the valuable objects for the institution he led. One of these employees was Dimitrie Drăguşanu, a teacher from Drăguşeni. In one of the collections of „Gallery of notable people” can be found five postcards sent by Dimitrie Drăguşanu to Vasile Ciurea. They contain information on investigations from Drăguşeni - Citadel, undertaken by both intellectuals, but also by Vladimir and Hortensia Dumitrescu, and about other archaeological sites in the region.
