Investigation into the construction of dwellings, their spatial arrangements, and the nearest surroundings is highly relevant in studying the functioning of an archaeological phenomenon. During the recent years of excava-tion undertaken at the Gordineşti II-Stînca Goală site, we have revealed the remains of at least two dwellings and their economic...
Non-invasive geophysical methods are often very useful and efficient in the investigation of various archaeological sites. Using one of the most popular of them, i.e. magnetometry, we carried out a survey of the area of the multi-phase Eneolithic site of Brînzeni IV (north-western Moldova) in 2019. As a result, the spatial arrangement of the site a...
In this article we would like to point out some issues related to a series of ceramic materials found in sites attributed to the Late Enolithic groups of Brînzeni and Gordinești in the Dniester-Prut interfluve. In terms of technology and stylistics in the case of pottery from the Brînzeni type sites and stylistics in the case of pottery from the Go...
According to Tamara Movscha, vessels from the Funnel Beaker culture settlement in Zhvanets can be synchronized with the period of existence of the settlements in Zimno, Leżnica and Gródek. Based on the currently available radiocarbon dates, we can say that the long-term settlements in Gródek and Zimno existed from around 3650 BC. The older phase of...

The Trinca «Izvorul lui Luca» site is an archaeological object with several cultural and chronological horizons, including the late Hallstatt period. The settlement of this period is attributed to the Western Podolian / Podolian-Moldavian cultural group and is the only one investigated in the Northern Moldavian Plateau. The investigations have reve...
The article presents the archaeological researches carried out at Trinca-Izvorul lui Luca settlement in 2000. The paper is part of the series of articles initiated by the authors in order to include the research results of this unusual site. The discovered archaeological remains were presented on cultural chronological levels (the Upper Paleolithic...
The articler describes an archaeozoological assemblage from Late Eneolithic settlement of Gordineşti II-Stînca goală. The studied osteological material is characterized by low number of remains of wild animals, the predominant position of cattle and small cattle (with apparent importance of Capra hircus among small cattle), sparce remains of horse...
The authors present a complex with several special discoveries, identified and researched in 2005 in the Ulmu settlement. The complex is an ellipsoidal pit in plan with a doorstep, in which, together with fragments of smeared clay, ceramics and osteological remains, were also discovered 22 objects made of clay: eight balls and 14 clay “breadcakes”...

The project’s objective is reconstruction of ways of using of settlement space by people of the Tripolye culture from the end of the 4th mill. BC, from the Gordinesti site, Edinet region, on the Moldavian Upland. The Tripolye culture, a large civilization unite of Eastern Europe, is known mainly from low-located mega-settlements up to several hundred hectares on surface, build as multi-rowed circular sites. They represent the classic development stage of the culture in question. In the 2nd half of the 4th mill. BC this settlement pattern declines. It is especially well visible on sites of the Brinzeni group in Moldova, where highly located sites prevail. If layouts of settlements from the 1st half and the beginning of the 2nd half of the 4th mill. BC has been recognized, rules of their spatial arrangement remain unknown. It is not clear how the houses and their surrounding space were used and if all structures were used in the same way. According to spatial sociology, rules of house locations convey information on social structures of a given community. Therefore, studying this issue is very important in archaeological research. In the case of the late stage of the Tripolye culture, represented by the Gordinesti-Kasperivce group, no information location of houses is available. Excavation of the Gordinesti should change this situation. The project will attempt to determine ways of use of the Gordinesti site, functions of house and their surroundings, and obtain „hidden” information on social characteristics of their inhabitants, especially related to their economic activities.
