This remarkable portrait of Mihai Eminescu, created by artist Alexandru Gușanov, is based on one of the four known photographs of the poet. The photograph that inspired this portrait was taken in 1869 in Wenceslas Square, Prague, when Eminescu was only 19 years old. The oval composition and harmonious color palette highlight the prominent personality and charisma of the young poet, capturing an expression that conveys both melancholy and intellectual depth.
Alexandru Gușanov (1929-2005), a Moldovan painter of Ukrainian origin, distinguished himself through his extensive work, comprising approximately 5,000 pieces - portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Settled in Moldova since 1945, Gușanov graduated from the Republican Art School "I.E. Repin" in Chișinău in 1952. His works were showcased in numerous national and international exhibitions and were highly appreciated in countries such as France, Hungary, Russia, and Yugoslavia. The artist dedicated a significant part of his career to creating portraits of historical and cultural figures, including Dimitrie Cantemir, Mihail Kogălniceanu, and Alexei Mateevici, which are part of the National Museum of History of Moldova's collection.

The subject of the portrait, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), is the most significant poet in Romanian literature, whose works reflect profound thought, sensitivity toward nature, and national identity. At the age of 19, when the photograph that inspired this portrait was taken, Eminescu was in the midst of his intellectual formation, preparing to become the iconic voice of Romanian culture. Among his most famous works is the poem Luceafărul (The Morning Star), a masterpiece of universal literature.

Recherches ethnoarchéologiques sur les sources salées de la Moldavie précarpatique

Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. II [XVII], nr. 1, Arheologie. Istorie Antică

La zone précarpatique de la Roumanie orientale, particulièrement riche en sources salées, est l’une des très rares régions d’Europe où les pratiques traditionnelles et non industrielles d’exploitation et d’utilisation du sel principalement sous forme liquide persistent encore largement. L’exploitation actuelle de ces sources salées, en dehors de toute mécanisation, organisation économique et réglementation juridique, offre l’occasion rare, sinon unique en Europe, de mener des recherches ethnoarchéologiques dans des conditions proches, pour certains aspects, des sociétés préindustrielles.

À la suite des travaux préliminaires de l’équipe roumaine publiés dès 1992, un programme interdisciplinaire franco-roumain débuté en 2003 a montré la nécessité d’approfondir ce type de recherche à partir d’une méthodologie rigoureuse, fondée sur l’élaboration de questionnaires ethnographiques précis mais ouverts. A partir d’octobre 2007 les recherches ont été efectuées dans le cadre du projet CNCSIS-PN-II-Idei, code 414/2007.

Les enquêtes ethnoarchéologiques ont été effectuées soit directement à la source salée, soit à la bergerie, soit au village/ville, et ont été centrées sur plusieurs thématiques visant la compréhension des méthodes d’exploitation et d’utilisation de cette ressource au sein d’un espace original. Aussi, on s’est attaché à spatialiser l’information à travers des questions concernant les modes de transport employés, les rapports distance/fréquence d’utilisation, etc. Les résultats des questionnaires conduits durant les étés 2004 à 2007 dans les départements de Neamț et de Bacău ont permis de mettre en évidence des comportements d’approvisionnement, de préparation et de (re)distribution originaux : aménagements des captages, utilisation de récipients spécifiques, groupe spécialisé dans la fabrication de sel cristallisé, troc et échanges contre des céréales, etc. Ces informations ethnographiques de première main permettent aujourd’hui d’enrichir les hypothèses archéologiques autour des relations évidentes entretenues entre les émergences d’eau salée et la chasse et le gibier sauvage, ou des modes d’utilisation (alimentation humaine et animale, conservation des aliments et des fourrages, halothérapie) ou encore autour de l’organisation sociale des exploitations et des pratiques d’échange et de troc.
