The archaeology of Romania began in the 19th century with the establishment of the Vasile Pârvan Institute of Archaeology in Bucharest in 1834 (since 1866 as part of the Romanian Academy). The institute has been publishing the journal Dacia since 1924. The National Museum of Antiquities, established in the 19th century, was merged into the Institute in 1956. The journal Arheologia Moldovei ("Archaeology of Moldavia") was founded in 1961 in Iași, and has been published there ever since. The Iași Institute of Archaeology, founded in 1990 as part of the Romanian Academy, has taken over its publication. That same year, the Institute of Archaeology and Art History, Cluj-Napoca was founded as well. Archaeological looting in Romania has been a recurring issue in the early 21st century.
