A trove of ancient artifacts was discovered in Cucuteni in 1884.

Those scholars named the newly discovered ancient culture theCucuteni culture,after the name of the village in which artifacts of that culture had first been discovered.
In Cucuteni village there is an archeological museum displaying artifacts of the Cucuteni culture, as well as a church built in the 15th century during the rule ofStephen III of Moldavia.The Archaeological Reserve of Cucuteni is under the direct coordination ofMoldavia's History Museum.
