The case study focuses on the media discourses that emerged around the archeological excavations on Kolozsvár's Main Square, in order to present the local nationalist practices in two important historical moments: in 1943 and in 1994. The author concludes that in historic moments of this kind social and hierarchical relationships between ethnic communities can be described by analysing the discourses about particular events, which offer the possibility of identification and thus group membership through the collective identities represented by them.
