Summary/Abstract: The implementation of some infrastructure projects on the territory of Doljești commune (Neamț County) imposed a non-intrusive archeological research, which had as objective a complete repertoire of the existing sites within the perimeter of the mentioned administrative subunit. Following the field research, 21 archaeological sites were identified, two them being already reported in the archaeological literature. The investigated areas were outside the currently inhabited perimeters, which gives us a slightly distorted image of the spread of ancient human settlements. However, the settlements discovered cover, almost completely, the chronological interval between the Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages. Most of the sites are located on the middle and lower terraces of the secondary watercourses, mainly left affluents of the Siret River, but settlements have also been identified on the upper terraces.
