Summary/Abstract: The present paper is discussing a recently found Late Bronze Age settlement belonging to the Noua culture, discovered during field surveys in the Târgu Secuiesc Depression. On the territory of the former settlement, ten “ashmounds” were identified, with a rich archaeological material, mostly represented by pottery and bone fragments (including six crenated scapulae), an awl, and a few stone objects. Archaeozoological analysis was also carried out, the results being published in this study. For the dating of the site, we have a radiocarbon date, which suggests the use of the settlement (at least partially) between 1441-1282 cal BC. Animal (mostly cattle) husbandry was the main economic activity. The processing of animal hides was probably also an important activity in this settlement.
