Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to present five objects from previous researches, carried out at Drăguşeni-In deal la lutărie and Stânceşti. The objects belong to the first phase of the Cucuteni culture and can be framed to the category walls or architectural installations. One of the objects may be part of a large anthropomorphic statue. The objects, even if we do not know precisely their context, with the exception of those from Drăguşeni, coming from Pit 21, are important because they are integrated into the landscape of their time, and it is possible, through analogies, to be monumental installations or even cult pieces. Discussions and analogies highlight the fact that these objects, even if each one is unique, have analogies with other contemporary discoveries.
