Summary/Abstract: The History and Geography Faculty of the „Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chişinău (Moldova), the Römisch-Germanische Kommission des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, Frankfurt am Main (Germany), and the Bonn University has continued during Summer 2015 the investigation of a late Roman/early Migration period settlement of the Sântana-de-Mureş-Culture (c. AD 230 - 430/450) on the southern slope of the Cubolta Valley at Putinești, raionul Florești. The site is part of an area of settlement some 9,0 km long on the eastern edge of the Cubolta-valley, an area intensively colonized already in prehistoric times (Neolithic, Bronze Age). The Late Antiquity settlement is already known from previous fieldwork. During the last year, geomagnetic prospections and aerial photogrammetry procedures were performed. A two-chamber pottery-kiln for specialized production of the characteristic wheel-made pottery was detected during the geomagnetic prospection and documented in drill profiles.
