This substantiation study had several components aimed at both theoretical research and field research. Thus, the study was composed of historical-archaeological study, historical substantiation study, landscape study and protection zone delimitation study. Following these studies, recommendations were proposed regarding the protection of historical monuments and the archaeological site, the protection zones being topographically delimited. The proposed areas of the site and its protection zone – together – will form the territory of the Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa Protected Area.
