Summary/Abstract: An archaeological research was carried out at Stejeriş (Moldoveneşti commune, Cluj county) within the "Autostrada" National Research Project, during August-September 2014. As a resuit of the archaeological excavations four archaeological complexes were identified and investigated: two dwellings, pits and a cult construction dating to the Middle Bronze Age (Wietenberg culture). This article presents new archaeological evidence, as well as a selection of recently discovered pottery fragments, analyzed by considering the current state of research about Wietenberg culture. The archaeological site, located on Măhăceni plateau, was partially affected by the construction highway (km 64+850--65+ I 00).
