Ioan Horațiu Carol Crișan (July 7, 1928–January 1, 1994) was a Romanian historian and archaeologist. He conducted research in South-Eastern and Central Europe, focusing on Geto-Dacians and Celts.
Crișan was born in Ciumăfaia, Cluj County and died in Cluj-Napoca, aged 65.[1]
He was very involved with the research at the archaeological site called Șanțul Mare (The Big Ditch), 7 km (4.3 mi) from Pecica, Arad County. He placed the Dacian settlement Ziridava, mentioned by Ptolemy in his Geographia,[2][3] at this location with a high degree of certainty.[4] He wrote a book named Ziridava – The digs from "Șanțul Mare" from 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, focused on the archaeological digs performed in 1960s at this ancient city.[5]
