On May 16, 2023, within the National Museum of History of Moldova, the National Session of Reports - Archaeological Research in the Republic of Moldova, Campaign 2022, was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and the National Archaeological Commission. This scientific meeting was organized in partnership by the National Archaeological Agency and the National History Museum of Moldova, on the occasion of the European Night of Museums and the International Day of Museums, which were celebrated this year on May 13 and 18, respectively. A total of 21 scientific communications were presented at the event. Among them, the preventive and rescue archaeological research coordinated by the National Archaeological Agency stood out. For example, the results of research on the route of the Vulcanesti-Chisinau power line were presented, including the linear fortifications Valurile lui Traian, 4 mounds (located in Congaz, Novosilovca and Burlăceni) and the stratified settlement from Hansca-Livadă. Also, important results of investigations from the Cucuteni-Tripolie culture settlement from Nișcani and from the city of the Golden Horde (14th century) from Costești-Gârlea (Ialoveni district) were presented. We also mention the preventive and systematic investigations in the city of Chisinau, coordinated by dr.hab. Sergiu Musteață, who had particularly important results. The communication about the rescue research from the multi-layered site at Lipoveni was also presented, presented by Dr. Sergiu Matveev and Dr. Vlad Vornic, who brought to light interesting discoveries from the Iron Age, especially those from the I-II AD. In terms of systematic research, the discoveries from the Saharna and Orheiul Vechi microzones, from the Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages, coordinated by Dr. Aurel Zanoci and Dr. Octavian Munteanu, were highlighted. A special interest was aroused by the communication presented by Dr. Ghenadie Sîrbu, who addressed the non-invasive interdisciplinary research carried out in the Trinca-La šanțuri Eneolithic site, by a joint Moldavian-German team. Also, unique results of research from the Stolniceni microzone (Edineț district), carried out as part of a Moldovan-German project, by Marian Vasilache, were presented. At the end of the session, the participants emphasized the importance of developing non-invasive archaeological investigations, using modern technologies and interdisciplinary methods, which must be expanded in the next period.
