Summary/Abstract: Six graves from the Gilău cemetery - part of larger churchyard - were the subject of a small-sized excavation. They were located next to the highway, on the left side of the access road to the medieval castle. The grave goods (lockrings, opened finger-rings, coins of the Huszár nr. 73 or CNH nr. 103 type) were dated to the 12th century and thus confirm the presence of a human settlement long before 1241, probably also in the 12 th century. The cemetery adds important data to our knowledge on the medieval settlements from the Cluj county.
