Summary/Abstract: This short article aims to introduce in the historiography two stone axes included at this moment in a school collection in Tuluceşti, Galaţi County. Unfortunately, the only reference point in what the context of the findings is concerned is the locality. Under these circumstances, the very few commentaries on these artefacts have been made only within a wider framework, exclusively relying on analogies. The materials presented here and certain unpublished data mark a number of archaeological sites chronologically dated during the Bronze Age, sites that have not been attested yet, despite the significant number of archaeological findings from other eras in the same area. Therefore, it is highly probable for future archaeological surveys to bring to light some complexes of the Bronze Age, all the more if one considers the small distance between this area and the important archaeological sites from Folteşti and Stoicani, which are highly significant for acquiring information with regard to the beginning of the Bronze Age.
