Aşezarea tripoliană tardivă de lângă satul Voloviţa (raionul Soroca, Republica Moldova) / Late Tripolian settlement near the village of Voloviţa (Soroca District, Republic of Moldova)

Abstract

The article publishes the materials from the surface of a new Late Tripolian settlement in the Middle Dniester region. Apart from pottery, the abundance of stone implements is quite remarkable. The analysis of the structure and typology of chipped stone artifacts points towards a large-scaled flint processing on the site. It is possible, that this settlement, dated with the Vykhvatintsy stage, specialized in the production of stone tools, and the final products were transported to other sites within a complex system of economic interrelations.
