摘要：Subcarpathians represent the transition unit between mountain and plateau and they are rich in salt deposits. They are situated between the Valleys of Moldova (N) and Motru (V). Mine salt has been exploited since the Neolithic and it still represents an important source of raw materials for the rural population. Salt deposits were created in the lagoon areas situated near the mountain frame. The local climate favoured water evaporation and the depositing of salt, which was covered by eroded materials from Eastern and Southern Carpathians. The high degree of salinity was provided by the warm and dry climate. Local factors led to a chemical differentiation between the Subcarpathian deposits and Transylvanian Depression deposits. Ancient exploitations, dating back in history, have recorded continuity until nowadays. Most amounts of salt are used in chemical industry. In terms of ethnomanagement, it is worth reminding household uses: for preserving vegetables, meat; for making cheese; for sprinkling hays, etc. On local level, it is distributed on short distances and only rarely transported on long distances (dozens or hundreds of kilometres). Maps were generated for the main salt deposits within the Romanian Subcarpathian area.
