The work In Memoriam. In Memory of the Heroes Who Fell at the Nistru (1992) was developed within the Center for Culture and Military History and published under the auspices of the Government of the Republic of Moldova, the Bureau for Reintegration, and the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Moldova. Authors: Gheorghe Bălan, Vitalie Ciobanu, Gheorghe Cojocaru.

This work provides a retrospective of the events that led to the outbreak of the war on the Nistru, accompanied by photographs of the heroes who lost their lives in the battles to defend the independence and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.

On March 2, 1992, the political conflict in the Nistru region escalated into a true fratricidal war. Under the fabricated pretext of "defending Russia's southern borders," political adventurers from the former Soviet metropolis encouraged Transnistrian separatism by arming secessionist paramilitary groups. At the same time, thousands of mercenary Cossacks and prisoners released early from jails, along with tanks and missiles, were sent against Independent Moldova, in a desperate attempt to revive the fallen empire.

Russia's undeclared war against the Republic of Moldova left behind hundreds of dead and wounded, shattered families, and villages in ruins. More than 50,000 peaceful residents from the conflict zone were forced to flee their homes, seeking refuge from the horrors of war.

For the sake of freedom and the future, Moldova's defenders faced death, enduring the hardships and humiliations of war.

During the Nistru war, 198 soldiers of the National Army and 89 personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs lost their lives, while 40 combatants went missing without a trace, and nearly 300 were left disabled.

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.

Fig. 2. Outils en fer: 1 - bêche / grattoir pour le métier de cuir; 2 - 5 - manche provenant d'un couteau court; 3 - douille d'une pelle; 4 - chignole.
