ASPECTE PRIVIND INVESTIGAȚIILE INTERDISCIPLINARE LA SITUL ARHEOLOGIC LIPOVENI-LA NISIPĂRIE (RAIONUL CIMIȘLIA)

Abstract

The archeological site Lipoveni II-La Nisipărie is located on the southern periphery of the Central Moldavian Plateau (Codrilor). During the archaeological investigations carried out between 2013–2021, several levels of habitation were identified, dating from the Eneolithic (the second half of the 4th millennium – the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC), the first and the second Iron Age (XII–X and VI–IV centuries BC), the beginning of the great migration (III–IV centuries AD), as well as a settlement from the centuries VIII–IX AD and scattered vestiges attributed to the late Middle Ages (XV–XVIII centuries). The parameters of the researched soil show obvious traces of an ancient anthropic intervention on the depth segment of 60-120 cm, compared to the standard statistical parameters of the typical moderately humiferous chernozem.
