Summary/Abstract: The study belongs to the posthumous works of the reputed Romanian ethnographer Ion Chelcea (1902-1991). The author undertakes a complex analysis of the peculiarities of peasant houses from historic Moldova: types of dwellings and their evolution along the centuries, the materials and building techniques („în ceamur”, „în păruială”, „în chirpic”, „în bârne”), the typology of walls and roof, the organisation of the living space, the interior outfit, and the household annexes. Ion Chelcea uses the results of archaeological excavations, medieval documents, ethnographic studies, as well as numerous field data, which he recorded personally. The author includes in his analysis as well many Bessarabian villages, where he undertook field investigations.
