Două aşezări Starčevo‑Criş din comuna Perieni, judeţul Vaslui
Two Starčevo‑Criş settlements from Perieni commune, Vaslui County

Summary/Abstract: As part of our approach, the main objective was to identify the two archaeological sites within the radius of Perieni commune, Vaslui county. Although there were mentions in the specialized literature about them and, in the case of the Perieni-Râpa Râşcanilor (Roşcanilor) settlement, archaeological excavations were carried out, their exact position in the administrative territory of the Perieni commune was not known. The settlement of Perieni-Râpa Râşcanilor (Roşcanilor) is located approximately 1.7 km NNW from the current center of Perieni village (Pl. 3), on Roşca Valley, as the place name appears on the map of Moldova from 1892–1898 (Pl. 1/2) and on early 20th-century firing plans. Following this research, it was found that the habitation during the Starčevo-Criş culture is the most intense, followed by the linear pottery culture, Hallstatt, the Sântana de Mureş-Cerneahov culture, and the early Middle Ages. The second settlement, the one from Perieni-Valea Babei, was identified on a ledge located at an interfluve of two streams that have a temporary course (Pl. 3/1,2), on the northern edge of the village, at the northern entrance of the village Perieni, approximately 1.4 km southeast of the settlement of Perieni-Râpa Râşcanilor (Roşcanilor). In this settlement, we discovered materials characteristic of the Starčevo-Criş culture. Taking into account the materials discovered in the two archaeological sites, discoveries that correspond to the results of previous research, we can say that we have succeeded in achieving our goal.
