Publication of Torma’s study on the Nándor cave-complex, extending her scholarship beyond Turdaș and into broader prehistoric research.
1880 brought the publication in Kolozsvár of A nándori barlang csoportozat (The Nándor cave-complex group), another important contribution to Transylvanian prehistoric studies. The precise publication day is not available in the sources consulted, but the year is well attested.
This work broadened Torma’s scope beyond a single excavation site and showed the range of her archaeological interest. By addressing cave complexes and prehistoric remains more generally, she demonstrated that she was not merely collecting curiosities but participating in the comparative study of early human material culture. That was a sophisticated move in a discipline still defining its methods and categories.
The publication is historically important because it shows the continuity of her scholarly production. Torma sustained research, field observation, and publication over many years despite working in an era with few institutional supports for women. Her ability to keep publishing reinforced her standing as a serious archaeological thinker and helped secure her legacy as a foundational figure in the prehistoric archaeology of Transylvania.
