Summary/Abstract: In 1989, the site Climăuți II, containing numerous faunal and flint remains, was discovered. Two pits were laid there. The studies were resumed by I. Borziac in 1998 in order to determine more clearly the stratigraphy of the site. Four cultural layers (two layers – like in the excavation of 1989 and two additional layers) were found. It is important to note, that the lithic objects from the inferior layers are similar to the material of 1989 and represent the lithic aurignacian tradition. The study of the lithic material on Climăuți II site will allow for a more detailed research of the early period of the upper Palaeolithic in the area of Middle Dniester river.
