Due to the settlement of the village at the foothills of the Vâlcani Mountains, in an area with rich pastures, the inhabitants of Runcu always raised animals - sheep and large cattle, especially dairy cows and oxen they used as traction animals. To ensure their food during the winter we sew hay from the mountain plateaus near the village. The photo shows three men leaving for the basket. On the initiative and under the direction of Professor Dimitrie Gusti from 29 June to 18 August 1930, a team of 60 monographers methodically and analytically researched all areas of his life - cosmological, biological, psychological, historical, economic, spiritual, political-administrative, at Runcu, Gorj, village (documentary attestation in 1486) situated at the foothills of the Vâcan Mountains in Sohodolului Gorge. Following this thorough investigation we defined the Romanian concepts about the theory and technique of sociological monography that in the coming years began to be known and applied also by researchers from other countries in Europe. Photography, cacherata on a cardboard sheet, with the humorous information: region, locality, title (in Romanian, French, German), date, photographer.
