The site of Plăieșu-La nord de sat, commune of Timișești, Neamț county, has been known since the 1980s, when various vestiges specific to the Bronze Age were mentioned. Later fieldwalks confirmed the existence of multiple habitations for this location. Recently, in order to obtain concrete information regarding the cultural attribution of the reported vestiges discovered within the site, several archaeological surveys were conducted. These were preceded by the geophysical measurement of the site, carried out by a German team, which highlighted several anthropic structures (possible burned dwellings and pits). The intrusive investigations indicated that the most intense occupation of this site belongs to the Precucuteni culture, but the site was frequented, more or less intensively, by Early, Middle, and Late Bronze Age communities, as well as by those belonging to the first Iron Age. The multidisciplinary approach of the site, as well as of the various categories of discoveries provides important information regarding the habitat conditions in this area, aspects related to the territorial dynamics of some prehistoric communities, and details about their economy. Due to its location in the Moldova River corridor and the frequency of human activity, the site at Plăieșu can be considered a reference point for the most important stages of prehistory (5th-2nd millennium BC) in this geographical area.
