Verteba Cave is an atypical archaeological site of the Cucuteni-Trypillia cultural complex. Based on years of research, a significant amount of information has been generated which has not yet been spatially represented. The main issue was the lack of a professional topographic map for the site. This article discusses the first attempt to create an archaeological map of the cave. It describes the methodological and practical process of mapping archaeological features both inside the cave and on the surface above the cave. A technological scheme for mapping using laser scanning of the cave’s interior is presented. The results of this work have provided new insights into the chronological periods of the cave’s occupation and its functional use
