The historical geography of settlement in the P tarlagele
Depression of Romania is examined with reference to the documentary
and oral evidence. Although the area is assumed to have a long
history dating back to Prehistory - and is widely seen as part of a
Subcarpathian region used a refuge during the Dark Age Migration
Period - documentary evidence is not available before the sixteenth
century. Furthermore the most remarkable developments occurred in
the nineteenth century when the unstable hillsides - with extensive
landslide surfaces - attracted a growing peasant population seeking
a base for subsistence in the age of capitalism when the historic
cereal lands were producing for the market. Although this major
reorganisation is quite poorly documented, the local toponomy is
remarkably rich and the oral evidence is used to help portray a
cultural landscape of intensive agricultural activity around the
central place of P tarlagele that was now supporting a diverse
range of functions served by road/rail communications. The study
concludes with a summary covering the twentieth century including
the interwar years, the communist period and the present
transition.
