Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2006, as part of the research project in the Luncaviţa micro-area, two bearings have been taken in the First Iron Age settlement from Valea Joitei. The settlement, situated on a hill near the south western part of Luncaviţa, lies on an area of almost 6 ha. During the bearings we identified one level of inhabitation and eight pits that have been completely or partially researched. Stylistically and typologically the pottery discovered in Luncaviţa-Valea Joiţei can be dated to the phase III of Babadag culture. This is also confirmed by the discovery of a fibula fragment dated to the 7th-6th century BC.
