Summary/Abstract: This work represents the first step after the studies have been started again in the prehistorical settlement from Tăuşanca (Ulmeni commune, Călăraşi county). In november 2006 there has been realised a field recognition (pl. 2-4) on the ground of the information on this sit wrote down 40 years ago (pl. 1). Back then there has been realised an important topographic raising of the sit and the surrounding area (pl. 5), and afterwards the 3D model (pl. 6), which will represent the base for the future studies. The 3D model offers a series of indications concerning the existence of a fortification system. On both the hill slopes of the settlement, in correspondent position, there has been identified a hole (pl. 6-7). These represent rests from the defence ditch. Between these, on the upper part of the hill, the human habitation which still exists caused the field levelling. The study of the hole configuration on the South-Western slope (pl. 8) and the reconstruction of defence ditch trace, suggests the existence of an a habitation, according to the classification made by Sebastian Morintz (pl. 9).
