Summary/Abstract: In the spring of 2006 preliminary research was undertaken inside Horodca Mică fortification, Ialoveni district. The article presents briefly the defensive elements constituting the fortification (vallum with ditch, rampart and scarp), and the archaeological finds collected inside the fortification. The discovered data – ceramics, household objects, as well as the soldering with twig marks – indicate that the fortification was inhabited during the Getic period. The fragments of iron slag suggest that metallurgy was practiced by the inhabitants of this settlement.
