Summary/Abstract: The article publishes the finds from the surface of two Precucuteni settlements located in the surroundings of the Cărbuna village (Ialoveni district, Republic of Moldova). The material from the first site, Cărbuna I, which is well-known to the scientific community due do the discovery in 1961 of a hoard with ceremonial items, is remarkable by the quite large number of axes, made out of solid magmatic (?) rocks. The material from the second site, Cărbuna XI, is represented by ceramic fragments which allow us to synchronize this settlement with the Cărbuna I site and to date them with the end of the Precucuteni III stage in the Prut-Dniester interfluve.
