Summary/Abstract: Four complex dual-chambered pottery firing kilns have been recently systematically excavated at the Cucuteni-Tripolye mega-site of Stolniceni in Northern Moldova. The data obtained from these investigations are corroborated with older and newer evidences from other sites and allow us to address wide problems such as technological and social context for specialized pottery firing on large Cucuteni-Tripolye settlements from the 4th millennium BC.
