Summary/Abstract: In the context of our recent interest in the Late Bronze mega-site/fort at Sântana-Cetatea-Veche, we take this opportunity to review the settlements, cemeteries, key artifact types and economic activities characteristic of the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000/1900–1550 BC) and the beginning of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1550–1450 BC)periods in the immediate vicinity of this site. Our objective is to present the current state of archaeological research. For this purpose, a database has been compiled that highlights, from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the knowledge of a period of more than 500 years in the prehistory of the Lower Mureș Basin.
