Summary/Abstract: On the territory of the Republic of Moldova, there are about 450 settlements belonging to the Noua culture (more than 300) and Sabatinovka culture (more than 140). From the 1950s to the present, systematic ar- chaeological investigations, vertical or rescue excavations have been carried out only in 31 settlements (Noua – 13, Sabatinovka – 18). This work complements previous scientific studies of Noua-Sabatinovka type settlements known on the territory of our country with a catalog of remains found within their boundaries. The main goal is to identify the categories of objects by culture, type and extent of distribution on the territory of the Republic of Moldova. The catalog covers 75 settlements, of which 44 belong to the Noua culture and 31 to the Sabatinovka culture, including those investigated through archaeological surveys, where objects made of various raw materials were found on the surface. The results obtained regarding the categories of objects and the degree of their distribution in Noua-Sabatinovka type settlements on the territory of the Republic of Moldova do not differ from the general picture for this complex of cultures.
