Summary/Abstract: The present study deals with new artifacts discovered in the last years of researches in the Şeuşa – Gorgan archaeological site, which complete the knowledge’s about the real cultural-chronological place of the Decea Mureşului habitation from the hill. A decorated fragment of a pot, in a specific Bodrogkeresztúr culture manner, discovered in the pit G17/2006, of the surface SX, together with a small copper link, states, more nuanced, the cultural synchronism phenomena specific for the Early Cooper Age in the Mureş Valley and in Transylvania.The specific shape and décor of the fragment, corroborated with the presence of an “Cucuteni C ceramic” pot, and other entire pots discovered inside the surface dwellings (?) sheds new light on cultural chronological position of the Decea Mureşului habitation on the top of the Gorgan Hill.
