ABSTRACTIn the last two years field surveys were carried out in the valley of the Black River, in the Târgu Secuiesc Depression. The present paper is the 4th of the series, presenting 15 sites, from which 13 were unknown until present.

The earliest settlement traces were discovered at Boroşneu Mare–Kökösi mason, belonging to the Neolithic Linear Pottery culture. To the Wietenberg culture of the Middle Bronze Age eight settlements are belonging (Boroşneu Mare–Conacul Kökösi, Cernat–Kapitány I., Cernat–Molnár 2 I., Cernat–Molnár 2II., Imeni–Rákosdomb, Lunga–Árkon kívül, Mărtănuş–Tanorok and Turia–Rétiláb/Nagy út mente), from which five to its 2nd, one to the 3rd phase of evolution, while two cannot be dated because of the fragmentary material. The Late Bronze Age is represented by the Noua culture, with five settlements (Cătălina–Városi út jobb oldala II, Cernat–Kapitány I., Imeni–Rákosdomb, Lunga–Gardens and Mărtănuş–Tanorok). On three of them the so-called “ashmounds” were identified. Three settlements of the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Gáva culture were discovered at Boroşneu Mare–Karé, Imeni–Rákosdomb and Lunga–Ponkok. The settlement from Lunga can be dated to the Ha A2-B1 period. The dacian period is represented by six settlements (Cernat–Kapitány I., Imeni–Rákosdomb, Lunga–Inlot, Târgu Secuiesc–Városi út jobb oldala III., Turia–Rétiláb/Nagy út mente and Turia–Vőremenő), most of them belonging to the 1st century BC–1st century AD. From the post-roman (Sântana de Mureş–Černjachov culture) era two sites are presented, both already known in the earlier literature (Boroşneu Mare–Conacul Kökösi and Cătălina–Városi út jobb oldala II). At Cătălina a grindstone was discovered, very likely belonging to this period. A few sherds from the Middle Ages were found in Lunga–Gardens and Lunga–Inlot.
