The Geto-Dacian dwellings from the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD (the Classical period) evolve and diversify compared with those of prior periods. The traditional construction system is kept: vertical support elements consisting of wooden posts embedded in soil, between the posts a filling consisting of twigs that form a reinforcement of the wall, coating of clay. This system is used for surface as well as for sunken or bellow-ground dwellings. It's used for rectangular buildings as well as circular or apsidal ones.
The dwellings in the Carpatho-Danubian-Pontic area begin to individualise, moving away from the original Megaron type. This differentiation is due to moving it's point of focus from the short side to the long one, which becomes the edifice's main façade. This focus point is marked by the arrangement of the entrance and/or semi-open spaces.
The edifices are either rectangular with a gable or hip roof or circular with a conical roof. The apsidal forms are a transition from the circular to the rectangular type. The plans are usually monocellular or bicellular, but we sometimes see more complex planimetric divisions, with three or more rooms.
