Summary/Abstract: This article aims to present the results of recent research (2019-2020) from a segment of a Late Bronze Age necropolis from Zalău - Valea Miții, “Dealul lupului”. 16 archaeological complexes with funerary character, all with the deposition of calcined remains in the urn were discovered in this point, but the total number of graves investigated at Zalău „Dealul lupului” would be between 18 and 20. The cemetery belong to the Late Bronze Age Cehăluț – Hajdúbagos cultural group. The results of the anthropological research carried out for some of the investigated funerary complexes are also presented. The discovery is all the more important, since in the area inhabited by these communities, the archaeological research has mainly focused on the settlements, and the data on the funerary behavior are extremely incomplete and come mostly from older discoveries.
