Summary/Abstract: This article presents three unique Neo-Eneolithic settlements identified by surface research between May 2021 and February 2022. In chronological-cultural order, the first settlement belongs to the Starčevo-Criş cul ture (Teşcureni VI). The second settlement is attributed to the Linear Pottery culture (Teşcureni VII). Among the finds discovered here, there are an obsidian blade and a shoe ax. The third settlement belongs to the Precucuteni culture (Teşcureni VIII). More than 300 pieces of flint, a fragment of an ax, a grinder, a scraper and a large number of ceramic fragments were found in the area of the settlement. Several special objects were also discovered: an anthropomorphic foot, a clay tablet and a fragment of a vessel with a Vincian influence symbol. The Precucuteni settlement proved to be multi-layered, being partly superimposed by a possible burial specific to the Mnogovalikovaya culture of the Early Bronze Age.
