Abstract The study focuses on the analysis of a distinct lot of twelve archaeological artifacts discovered in the territory of Dobrovăț, Iași County. This assemblage primarily consists of clothing accessories and adornments, including rings, buttons, and buckles, which are relevant for the study of local material culture. The research employs a typological and morphological examination of the items in order to establish their specific functionality and to identify valid analogies within the archaeological literature of the region. By correlating these finds with similar discoveries from other parts, the study aims to propose a chronological framework and to highlight the circulation of goods in this area. Furthermore, all these discoveries confirm the continuity of habitation and highlights the integration of the specific area into regional economic exchanges during medieval and modern periods. Ultimately, the publication of these pieces contributes to the enrichment of the archaeological map of Moldavia and offers new data regarding the evolution of accessories in the analyzed period.
