Summary/Abstract: The Neamț Depression is typically sub-Carpathian, with well-defined boundaries, with rivers springing from the Oriental branch and coming out of the depression through wide valleys, with well-defined and inhabited terraces from ancient times. Archaeological research, conducted largely by specialists from the Neamț Museum Complex, with disciplinary and interdisciplinary interpretations, has obtained a remarkable result in terms of salt resources. Most salt water springs have a millennial exploitation, for instance Lunca-Poiana Slatinei, Târpești area, or a current exploitation namely the balneo-climatic one in Bălțătești-Băi or Oglinzi-Băi. The links and connections between mineral resources of salt water and human communities continue to be sustainable and explained from several inter and transdisciplinary points of view. The issue is open to discussion though, archaeological and ethnographic investigations must be continued to render a complete picture of the mineral resources of salt water in the Neamț Depression.
