Abstract

The present paper presents the late medieval archaeological finds from the site of rural settlement of Băiceni, located at the point known as „Dâmbul lui Pletosu”. The paper discusses the pottery and some other categories of finds from a dwelling dating from the first decades of the 17th century. The point known as „Grădina lui Pascal”, revealed some features dating from the end of 18th – the beginning of 19th century. The paper analyzes the finds from these features (three dwellings and a garbage dump), with special attention for the tobacco pipes, which contribute significantly to the chronological definition of the features.

Keywords: rural settlement, ceramic, tobacco pipes, the 17th–19th centuries.
