Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a newly obtained radiocarbon date from a layer attributed to the Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov culture, which is the first such date from southeast Transylvania published for the period in question. The sample was selected from a large mammal bone discovered at the Reci-Telek site in Covasna County, Romania. The aim of this study is not to discuss the chronology of the period, but to introduce the obtained date into scientific circulation. Calibration at 2-σ resulted in a date ranging between 247 and 404 cal AD.
