In this paper the author marks the most important steps made by theRomanian, Austrian, Ukrainian scholars in the matter of Cucuteni civilization from the Suceava Plateau. In time, this geographical unit was divided (with the exception of 1918-1940 period) by different political structures: Austria (Austro-Hungary) and Moldavia, U.S.S.R. and Romania, Ukraine and Romania. This situation caused approach and intensity differences in the research between the northern and southern part of the unit, present even today. Apart of these differences the goal of the research in the future time would be publishing the excavations still unknown, and concentrating on the phases and regions less understood of this region.

CLIOHnet is a Socrates-Erasmus Thematic Network formed to address the task of bringing the study of history and a critically founded historical perspective to bear on the challenges facing European society and education today. The Network utilizes the remarkable opportunities created by the swift expansion of contact between diverse European cultural and educational traditions to bring a supranational, diachronic and comparative approach to the study and teaching of history. It will create an association (HEKLA) for enhancing the historical perspective in European culture; it operates a website and a mailing list. It is now creating a pan-European directory of historical associations and bodies; it encourages publications relating to its objectives on the specialized press and in the media. It promotes the study on teaching and studying history in Europe today and will publish the results in book form, containing both an overview of the present situation and recommendations for action. CLIOHnet brings together historians, geographers, art historians, linguists, theologists, philologists, sociologists and philosophers in order to explore how differences, connections, conflicts and positive interaction have developed in the past and can develop in the future.
