In the study, the archaeological pedological materials were selected on 25 communes from Ialoveni rayon at 1:10000 scale. The materials were scanned and digitally connected to the national reference system MoldRef-99. The contours of the soil were then vectorized and the attributive information was provided for each contour. These works were performed at a scale of 1:10000. As a result, 4050 soil contours were erected on an area of 57577.10 ha (agricultural land). It is very clear that the predominance of the chernozems' soil cover structure with 62.88% of the agricultural soils, the higher share of the carbonate, levigated and ordinary subtypes. The surface of carbonate soils has virtually doubled (from 9666 ha - first cycle to 17162 ha - cycle II). The second place occupies the gray soils by 13.96%. Alluvial soils are the next step with 8.98%. About 14% of the remaining soils, including 5.1% under landslides. In the works, the general digital layer of soil profiles and soil profiles according to genetic horizons has been created which includes the specific attributive parameters. In the Ialoveni district the morphological and analytical data for 540 profiles and 2831 genetic horizons were introduced.
