Abstract
The archaeological site Negrileşti-School Yard is an important landmark for the archeology of Southeastern Moldova, as it was possible to highlight a high intensity of habitation in this area situated in the Basin of Bârlad River, which extends from the early Neolithic period to the contemporary era.
The archaeological research carried out in the year 2017 aimed to clear an area of the site, on the south side of the school, of any archaeological materials, where the City Hall of Negrilești intends to build a warehouse. Also, it was necessary to check the state of the site and the extent to which the archaeological complexes were affected by unauthorized interventions.
Four excavation surfaces, units of different sizes, located in the B7 “School Yard” topographic sector (Sp.1-2/ 2017) and C3 “Pine” topographic Sector (Cas.1-2 / 2017). In the four units researched in the year 2017, we have unearthed archaeological complexes dated from the early Neolithic and from the Bronze Age until the modern period. Of the 38 arcaeological complexes, 18 are pits, six are fire installations, four dwellings, a burial tomb and nine agglomerations of archaeological materials.
