Description	Pe malul vestic al Pârâului Sărat se află un bazin de acumulare a apei sărate. De-a lungul Pârâului Sărat au fost descoperite mai multe complexe pentru exploatarea depozitului de sare. Au fost dezvelite intrări în mine şi mai multe amenajări legate de exploatarea sării: troace, fântâni, garduri şi împletituri din nuiele şi artefacte legate de practici miniere: ciocane de piatră, troace, jgheaburi, scări. Determinările cu C14 şi dendrocronologice au evidenţiat mai multe etape de exploatare a sării, din bronzul timpuriu în epoca modernă.
