„Drumul Vacii”, „La Cazemate” and „Drumul lui Rainea” are sites dating from the Neolithic, where ceramic fragments from the Boian culture where discovered.

In „Rapa Bulgarilor” and „Cerna” where also discovered elements form the Early Bronze Age, from the cultures Glina III - Schnekenberg, and Cernavoda II – III.

In the site „Drumul Vacii”, in a point situated between the river Cama and the village, there were also discovered traces of the Middle Ages, and ceramic fragments from the 13^th – 14^th Centuries, that correspond to the period when the feudal state Tara Romaneasca was funded.
