Until recently, on the high terrace of the Dniester in the area of Socola village, only one site with traces of Iron Age habitation was known (point “Craina”). In the spring of 2022, a team of researchers from the Ion Niculiță Archaeological Center of the Moldova State University carried out new field surveys in the area, which resulted in the discovery of three more Late Iron Age sites. Thus, two fortifications (Socola III and Socola IV) with settlements in the immediate vicinity were discovered on the two promontories that rise above the Dniester riverbed by about 150-160 m. Two other settlements, Socola I “Craina” and Socola V, are located to the west, at a distance of about 1.40 km and 2.50 km, respectively. As a result of surface surveys, materials, especially pottery sherds, characteristic of the Getic culture were collected from the surface of the sites, which makes it possible to attribute this “agglomeration” of settlements to the 4 th-3rd centuries BC. Such an arrangement of fortifications and nearby settlements dating back to that period is often found in the Middle Dniester Basin, especially in the Saharna microregion.
INVESTIGAŢIILE ARHEOLOGICE LA SITUL SAHARNA MARE / „DEALUL MĂNĂSTIRII”, RAIONUL REZINA (2017-2019)*

The archaeological research conducted in 2017-2019 was concentrated in the southwest part of the site, where as a result of the geomagnetic measurements a positive anomaly was attested that denotes the presence of burned structures. Following the archaeological excavations (256 m2) in this part of the settlement, three layers of living were identified: Holercani-Hansca, Cozia-Saharna and Thracian-Getae. It was discovered a pit (7/2018) belonging to the Holercani-Hansca horizon whose filling contained ceramics characteristic of this culture. For the Cozia-Saharna layer was found a structure (4/2017-2019), 12 pits, a burial, and various archaeological inventory represented by work tools, weapons and ceramics ornamented with incised and stamped ornaments. In the Thracian-Getae layer were uncovered three structures, 13 pits and a rich archaeological findings. Among the inventory items are tools and utensils made of different raw materials – iron, bronze, bone and horn, stone and burnt clay. From this layer come several weapons, in particular, tips of bronze arrows, as well as pieces of jewelry, represented by fibuale, bracelets, rings etc. Also, from the Thracian-Getae layer was recovered a significant amount of local ceramics and Greek imports

In the Middle Dniester Basin, from the 1940s to the present, several archaeological sites dating back to the Iron Age have been discovered and explored. In the past two decades, a team of researchers from the Moldova State University has been engaged in archaeological research in the Saharna microregion, where several fortifications and open settlements dating from both the Early and the Late Iron Age have been studied. Among them, the Saharna “Rude” site stands out, where, non-destructive surveys, as well as archaeological excavations were carried out in 2018-2021. As a result, traces of three phases of habitation were found at the Saharna “Rude” site. According to the discovered artifacts, the first phase of habitation can be attributed to the Early Iron Age (middle of the 12th century – 11th century BC), which corresponds to the Holercani-Hansca horizon. At the next stage, a circular enclosure was built in the northern part of the plateau, to the south of which there was an extensive settlement belonging to the CoziaSaharna culture (10th-9th centuries BC). The discovery of fragments of Greek amphoras, as well as handmade pottery specific to the Getic culture, indicates that this territory was also inhabited during the Late Iron Age (4th-3rd centuries BC). Therefore, the situation attested at Saharna “Rude” is similar to the one on the promontory opposite the Saharna Mare and comes to confirm the intense habitation of the Saharna microregion by human communities in the period from the middle of the 12th to the end of the 3rd century BC.

Near the village of Cinișeuți, Rezina District, as a result of archaeological explorations carried out by T.S. Passek in 1947 and P.P. Bârnea and V.S. Beilekchi in 1962, several archaeological sites were discovered. They contain traces of habitation characteristic of the Eneolithic, Early Iron Age, Late Roman and Medieval periods. In the spring of 2021, sites dating back to the first period of the Iron Age came to the attention of researchers from the Moldova State University; a series of surface investigations were carried out at these sites. As a result, the existence of an open settlement (Cinișeuți I) with an area of about 380×100 m was established, where a sandstone grindstone, two spindle whorls and 45 fragments of pottery belonging to the Cozia-Saharna culture (10th-9th centuries BC) were found. In addition, at a distance of about 600 m to the north of the settlement, a small fortification (40×35 m) was investigated by archaeological explorations, which, by analogies known in the Middle Dniester region, can also be attributed to the Cozia-Saharna culture. Thus, it can be assumed the presence in the vicinity of the village of Cinișeuți of a community of the first period of the Iron Age, which existed in the open settlement of Cinișeuți I, and the fortification of Cinișeuți “Cetate” was the residence of the “head” of this region.
