Adrian Felix Tencariu

Adrian Felix Tencariu is a Researcher at the Arheoinvest Center's Department of Exact and Natural Sciences within Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași. His expertise spans prehistoric archaeology, experimental archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and remote sensing, with a focus on the Neo-Aneolithic period in Southeastern Europe. He specializes in integrating archaeometric methods with traditional archaeological approaches to study prehistoric ceramic manufacturing, salt exploitation, and landscape interactions.

• Specialist in prehistoric ceramic operator chains
• Expert in non-invasive prospection techniques (georadar, magnetometry)
• Active contributor to archaeological interpretation through experimental methods

His research emphasizes the application of multidisciplinary approaches to understand technological innovations and past human behaviors. Recent work includes 3D digital reconstructions of Cucuteni sites, analysis of archaeological soils as heritage archives, and experimental studies on pottery kilns. He actively participates in academic events like the International Academy of Heraldry Colloquium.

Dr. Tencariu's publications demonstrate expertise in geophysical prospection, ceramic technology, and salt production studies. His experimental work on prehistoric pottery firing and ethnoarchaeological investigations of brine exploitation bridges theoretical analysis with practical validation.
