Summary/Abstract: The study presents a series of clay figurines recovered during archaeological excavations at the Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă site. This group contains figurines that are mostly preserved in fragmentary forms, with very few decorations. Therefore their interpretation is problematic. Their presence in various contexts as well as the way in which the surfaces were treated make them stand out from the rest. Up to this moment, the total number of figurines recovered from the Alba Iulia-Lumea Nouă site is 63, most of them being published within separate studies and the site monograph. To these we add the current lot of nine figurines, along with a detailed analysis.
