One of the great technical achievements that revolutionized the idea of time and space, opening a new era in the history of communication, is telegraphy. It is based on the transmission of electrical signals through a cable over long distances, allowing people to communicate instantly. The telegraph spread very quickly and a network of wires stretched around the world.

In 1837, the American painter and physicist Samuel Morse invented the first electromagnetic device for telegraphy, patented in 1840. To send messages by wire, Morse developed in 1838 a simple code of dots and dashes, which represented the letters of the alphabet, known as "Morse code ".

Both Morse code and the telegraph machine were improved over time, with the telegraph becoming the most widespread system of communication and information transmission for more than a century, until the advent of the Internet. The telegraph system consisted of a series of stations repeaters along the transmission line route. Each station had an operator who received and transmitted messages by telegraph. The Morse machine transmitted about 25 words per minute, which were recorded in code on a paper tape. The operator in charge of transmitting the message would decode it and write it on paper using a special typewriter.

In Bessarabia, the telegraph entered in 1860: on April 8, the Bender telegraph station began its activity, and on April 24, the one in Chisinau, following the construction of the first Odesa-Chisinau-Leova telegraph line. Currently, telegraph services have been discontinued. The only ones who still use coded communication are radio amateurs.

The Morse telegraph machine shown comes from the Osinoostrovsky electrotechnical plant, Soviet Union, and dates back to 1934. The exhibit was restored by Mihail Culașco.

Objets de la période médiévale de la bourgade de Roman (le point Cuptor)

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. X [XXV], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică

Mots clef: la bourgade de Roman, outils, faucille, bêche, hache, couteau, chignoles, couteaux, brides, manilles.

Résumé: Le Musée d'Histoire de Roman a reçu en 1989 un lot d'objets en fer de la période médiévale découverts sur la rue Unirii près du centre historique de la ville. Après une série d'activités administratives de la municipalité on a découvert un four et quelques objets en métal. Une fois arrivés au musée à la suite d'une donation, les objets sont restés dans les dépôts de l'institution muséale jusqu'en 2015 quand ils nous ont retenu notre attention. En conséquence on a choisi un nombre de 27 objets pour les restaurer. Du point de vue archéologique et historique il est important de présenter ces objets en tenant compte de l'ensemble des découvertes provenant des bourgades médiévales - premièrement il s'agit des outils, pièces importantes quand on cherche d'établir une typologie génrale et puis la location d'où viennent les objets, c'est à dire le centre de la bourgade.

Le contexte de la découverte, près d'un four, et la typologie des objets, outils agricoles et de l'artisanat, éléments provenant des portes et pièces utilisables dans les constructions, nous indiquent l'inventaire d'une habitation. L'absence de la céramique et des autres objets spécifiques pour les artisans démontre qu'on se trouve dans la présence d'un four simple (et pas d'un four de potier ou d'un artisan). Les caractéristiques des outils mais aussi la présence d'un récipient céramique de type maïolique découvert dans le même lieu en 1980 nous ont permis de dater ces artefacts dans la seconde partie du XVIème siècle et le début du XVIIème siècle.
