The article deals with the well and long debated issue of the disappearance of celtic culture from Transylvania during the first half of the 2nd century bc, followed by the emergence and flowering of an archaeological culture attributed to the dacians. A comprehensive review is made of histo- riographic theories promoted in literature over the years on the replacement of cultural facies in the eastern carpathian basin: the dacian scenario, the bastarnian scenario, the mixed bastarnian and getian scenario and finally, the Padea-Panagjurski Kolonii scenario. special attention is paid to the archaeological record on the old dacian element in Transylvania (e.g., the settlements at bratei and olteni, the cemeteries at olteni and săvârşin) in the period of celtic supremacy and to the relationship between indigenous and non-native populations in the study area during the late iron Age. The discussion is rounded off with an analysis of interaction between the inhabit- ants of Transylvania and their neighbours, e.g., scordisci and the bastarnae. The author pro- poses to interpret the rise of the dacians as an effect rather than cause of the disappearance of celts from Transylvania
