Summary/Abstract: The site of Şibot (Alba County) was investigated in 2012 and over 300 archaeological features were exposed. The excavations confirmed the presence of a medieval settlement dating to the 15 th century and destroyed during the battle of Câmpul Pâinii. The present paper presents the results of the analysis of a dwelling from the medieval settlement, analysis mainly performed on pottery, stove tiles and iron items. New information has been obtained from the archaeozoological analysis and the reconstruction of the dwelling’s stove. The presented data help give a clearer general image of the site and of the daily life during the Middle Ages
