摘要：In 1998, systematic researches began in the Cucuteni settlement of Dobreni- M .t.huia Hill * ) , settlement which has been known since 1936, when Vl. Dumitrescu and C-tin Matas. carried out the first archaeological researches ( MATAS. 1938, 31-32; 1946, 5). The above-mentioned Cucuteni settlement lies within the Sub-Carpathian area, on the upper terrace, on the right bank of Crac. u river, at 520 m absolute altitude. The relative simple stratigraphy of the settlement and the scarcity of painted pottery provided by excavations in 1998 campaign evince habitation ascribed to Cucuteni A, probably A-B, and Cucuteni B phases. Further researches will certainly clear up these matters. We do not intend to go into details referring to excavations and habitation complex description, since it has already been the subject of a preliminary report ( DUMITROAIA, COTOI, URSU, NICOLA 1999, 25- 26), but we will turn our attention on the thoroughly description of the lithic tools. Therefore, subsequent to the structural - typological and petrographical analysis * *) of the material, we shall finally review the source areas of rocks used as raw materials.
