Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2023, within the range of some localities in the Calarașovca (Ocnița district) – Arionești (Soroca district) microzone, surface archaeological research was undertaken, documenting several archaeological sites. A distinct place among them is occupied by the site designated with the name Calarașovca XIII, from the surface of which several artefacts were recovered. Several ceramic fragments document a sporadic habitation level that falls within the Sântana de Mureș-Cerneahov culture from the 4th century AD. The most numerous artefacts: flint tools, vessel fragments and a burnt clay statuette were attributed to the Precucuteni-Tripolie A communities. The large number of flint pieces, found at different stages of processing, allowed the establishment of the particularities of the lithic industry of the Eneolithic community from Calarașovca XIII.
