ABSTRACT
During the years 2015-2016, the heritage of Moldavia’s History Museum was enriched through a remarkable donation received from Mrs. Ecaterina Olaru and Mrs. Rodica Cezara Popovici, a donation made up of items that belonged to the family Emilia and Neculai Zaharia, important figures of Romanian archaeology, with irrefutable contributions in what regards the discovery of the old settlements in the Moldavian area. Although scientific publications previously published a series of biographical data on Emilia and Neculai Zaharia, these are either incomplete, or contain some errors. The documents in the Zaharia family archives, that constitute part of the donation to Moldavia’s History Museum, now allow for the needed additions and rectifications.
