标题：Arheologia funerară şi sacrificiile: o terminologie unitară [Funerary archaeology and sacrifices: an unifying terminology], Brăila, 2003 (Raluca Kogălniceanu)
摘要：The preoccupation of the researcher Valeriu S.rbu for the funerary field is not a new one, as it can be seen from the short biographic presentation at the beginning of the book. Completely new in the present volume is the computerized approach to the subject of funerary archaeology. Books talking about the use of computer in archaeology are rare in the Romanian literature. We can mention the one written by Gh. Lazarovici and D. Micle 1 , which tries to survey a series of computer programs and statistic notions, difficult to understand by a person without a minimum background in the informatics field. Another book belongs to Irina Gavril. 2 and enters our field of interest only because it explores this new tendency of explaining the ways in which the computer can be successfully used in the field of humanistic studies. These two books, together with the one presented here are important steps on the way of trying to modernize the historic research. We take the opportunity of reminding that in the occidental space these practices are so common that about them is written only as part of a chapter in a manual of archeological theory, without being assigned special volumes. But as such a manual doesn't exist in the Romanian space (with the exception of the attempt of M. Ciut. 3 ) we are not surprised by the choice of the author of approaching this subject in an independent book. When watching critically this volume arouses a difficulty, given by its interdisciplinary character: one does not know what to analyze: the book itself or the database created and presented in it.
