Photos made from space of the archaeological sites between the Prut and the Nistru were exhibited on Thursday at the National Museum of Archaeology and History. Museum director Eugen Sava said the exhibition is the first of its kind in Moldova and unique in the field of archaeological research, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The photos were made let’s day from bird flight level, from planes, helicopters and even satellites. It’s an efficient method, which helps finding sites that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Many of the ancient fortresses and necropolises are covered with a layer of soil and these photos can reveal their forms in the relief. This method helps us identify the exact location of sites in large territories”, declared Eugen Sava. The museum director admitted that the forms shown by photos weren’t always archaeological sites. In some cases, diggings are needed to discover the exact place. “Besides the exhibition, we put some stands with archaeological artifacts that prove that sites exist in those places as confirmed by photos from space”, said Eugen Sava. A problem of this method of photography is the high costs and in Moldova there is no possibility to run a personal investigation of this kind. The exhibited photos were made by the Cadaster and Land Relations Agency in cooperation with a Norwegian institution.
