Summary/Abstract: The author presents a batch of 12 artifacts from the village collection of Țibucani (Neamț County, Romania), which belong to the Bronze Age. The catalog includes artifacts made of stone and metal, respectively axes and curved knives. Most stone pieces are fragmentary, thus cannot be attributed very strictly to a chronological segment of the Bronze Age. Along with these objects, there are also published three metal pieces: an axe of the Nackenknaufäxte type and two socketed-axes, one of which is fragmentary. The tube axe is a unique piece in the East-Carpathian space and it can be connected with the cultural environments of the Late Bronze Age from the northwestern area of Romania. The two socketed-axes can also be dated in the Late Bronze Age, but they are specific to the communities of Noua culture.
