The archaeological campaign of 2011 from Grădiștea de Munte - Sarmizegetusa Regia took place in two areas of the site: in the fortification and in the eastern civil area. In the first one, we investigated the 2nd terrace and the 4th one, inside the ancient fortification. In the second area mentioned before, one of the terraces belonging to the eastern civil neighbourhood has been investigated. On the 4th terrace one part of the road paved with limestone slabs was identified, linking the fortress and the temples, in Antiquity. On the terrace belonging to the eastern civil area we investigated a Dacian building with a complex structure, having an area estimated at several tens of square meters. The archaeological inventory resulted from the excavation is large and diversified: pottery, materials used for construction, bronze artifacts, lead and so on.
