Abstract: Random discoveries have allowed us to discover some very interesting artifacts - four iron axes, relating to the period of the Middle Ages. None of them has archaeological context; they were found in the collections of two school museums from the villages in the county of Galați, where we carried out archaeological research: Tulucești(A) and Valea Mărului (B).
These items are not rarities (such artifacts are known in Romania, as well as in Europe), but to date it is the only finds of this kind in southern Moldova. In addition, the presence of the original ornamentation on two axes, which has no analogies in the literature available to us, prompted us to present them in this publication, although some of these items have already been published.
