Summary/Abstract: Following contractual archaeological research carried out during 2019 at Hurezani, Gorj County, we identified an archaeological settlement belonging to the Bronze Age. From the variety of artefacts discovered there, within this paper we aim to present and analyse the tools used in the production of textiles, such as spindle-whorls or loom-wights, by registering their technical specifications in a catalogue of archaeological discoveries.
