Magnetic and Electric Surveying in the Medieval Fortress of Moresti and in the Deserted Village of Csittfalva

In spring 2010 we carried out geophysical surveying in Moresti and Csittfalva. These former medieval villages were located in Transylvania along the river Mures. In Moresti we prospected the medieval fortress, and in Csittfalva we searched the ruins of the temple, which was demolished in the XVIIth century. We carried out magnetic surveying, and then based on the results we made electric measurements. We identified the location of the medieval fortress of Moresti and the ruins of the temple of Csittfalva with magnetic surveying. In Moresti the magnetic surveying revealed the detailed structure of the fortress. The geoelectric measurements in Moresti did not provide further information, but in Csittfalva they gave a more detailed structure of the temple, and the depth of the foundation was established, too. In both places the results of the geophysical prospectings are in agreement with the former archaeological information. Additionally, some new features, e.g. the inner trench in the fortress of Moresti and the tower of the temple of Csittfalva were discovered.
