Vlad Vornic, Sergiu Matveev, Archaeological research at Lipoveni II – La Nisipărie site (2013-2016)

The archaeological rescue investigations carried out in the years 2013-2016 within the limits of the Lipoveni II-La Nisipărie site allowed the identification of several cultural-chronological horizons: the Usatovo group from the late Eneolithic period (IV mil. BC), the Chişinău-Corlăteni culture from the early period of the Iron Age (XII-X centuries BC), the Thracian-Getic culture of the VI-III century BC, the Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov culture from the Gothic migration period (III-IV centuries AD) and remains of habitation from the medieval times (VIII-IX, XIII and XVI-XVIII centuries). The most intense habitation in the researched area corresponds to the archaeological cultures of the early and late Iron Age and the Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov cultural complex from the Gothic migration period (III-IV centuries BC).
