Noi situri arheologice și o evaluare a habitatului din bazinul mijlociu al Cracăului (județul Neamț, estul României)
New archaeological sites and a landscape evaluation in the middle of Cracău River (Neamț County, Eastern Romania)

Summary/Abstract: The need to carry out archaeological research in order to discover new sites and locate the old ones, pushed us to conduct a research in middle Cracău basin, where the geographical characteristics, typical for a foothill depression, were most suitable for human habitation. The first researches in the study area were started more than 80 years ago, when the priest Constantin Matasă, a pioneer in archaeological research, conducted the first field walking and diggings. Although the area is relatively small, our field walking led to the discovery of 20 new archaeological sites, dated from Neolithic to Middle Ages, distributed along the terraces from the right bank of Cracău River. Some of the settlements were seated according to topographical characteristics and the natural resources, some behavioural patterns being identified.
