The aim of the current paper is to present two inhumation graves belonging to Petreşti culture recently discovered within the Petreşti-Groapa Galbenă settlement (Alba County, Transylvania). The burial of a deceased in a cist made of adobe pieces represents an unusual funerary practice for the Eneolithic Petreşti culture communities. This discovery is especially important because the current state of research related to the mortuary practices of Petreşti culture bearers is not satisfactory.
