Hello All,
Here are some news about a new finding in Romania.
Since 1989 some archaeologists are working in the
Cluj County, Mocs-Palatca region in a archaeological
area named "Togul lui Māndrusca" dated from the bronze
ages. Mainly they discovered surface houses and stone
and bronze tools. The most important discovery was
a little place where ancient people made bronze tools.
These days the team have found there a stony meteorite
weighting 0.5 Kg and composed mainly from olivine, feldspat
and magnetite. They are searching if this meteorite has any
connection with the Mocs meteorite rain (1882) but the
evidence shows the stone was in the little factory.
Best Regards, Andrei
