Summary/Abstract: The most intense prehistoric habitation from Alba Iulia - Lumea Nouă site belongs to the Foeni group communities, which occupied the area in two successive phases, this being firstly revealed by the hut-type houses in the western area of the site, with early artifacts, subsequently expanding to the eastern side, aspect highlighted by the dwelling houses, illustrating the stage of local evolution. The material culture of the Foeni group's bearers at Lumea Nouă emerges also from the study of the chipped lithic industry (456 pieces), the rocks analysis, the technotypology and the morphology of the artifacts indicating the supply and exploitation of raw materials, the technical behavior adopted by these communities and the adaptation to the new realities of the Middle Mureş Basin, by making certain lithic tools.
