Abstract

Our paper presents newly discovered Palaeolithic site(s) near the city of Rupea (Brașov County). The lithic pieces were found in the ploughed fields. The assemblage mainly features massive flakes knapped in siliceous sandstone. Among the retouched tools, the most numerous are the sidescrapers; we also identified a Levallois core and two Levallois flakes. We suggest that the lithic inventory belongs to the Middle Palaeolithic. Articolul de față semnalează descoperirea unor piese litice atribuite Paleoliticului în zona orașului Rupea, jud. Brașov. Materialul litic a fost descoperit în solul arat. Piesele, cioplite din gresie silicioasă, sunt în general masive. Cele mai numeroase unelte sunt racloarele; au fost identificate și trei piese Levallois (un nucleu și două așchii). Considerăm că materialul litic poate fi atribuit Paleoliticului Mijlociu.
