Several presentations outlined the archaeological research carried out over the past two decades at the Băile Figa site and at other salt springs in the Eastern Carpathian Basin. Talks were given on studies into prehistoric salt extraction in Europe, the systematic research into the salt region of Lesser Poland and the experimental archaeological project carried out there, finds linked to the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Medieval salt trade in the Eastern Carpathian region, and written and archaeological evidence relating to the salt route used in Dacia during the Roman-era. Viktória Kiss presented links between communities of the central part of the Carpathian Basin (today Hungary) and the groups engaged in the extraction of salt from springs and rock salt mines in the Eastern Carpathians, Lesser Poland and Central Europe during the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, as well as new data on transport and trade in these regions. The organisers plan to publish the presented papers in the proceedings of the workshop.
