How is the archaeological site located?
The Săftica – La Izlaz site is described using several precise reference points: it lies on the left bank of the Cociovaliştea, on a terrace at its confluence with a tributary. The Bucharest–Ploiești road is west of the site, and the Sfânta Treime parish church is south of it. “Left bank” is determined by the direction in which the river flows; the confluence is the point where the river and tributary meet. Together, the river, landform, road and church help locate the site.
The parish church is a separate cultural reference from the archaeological site: it is designated as a historic monument, while Săftica – La Izlaz is described as an archaeological site.
