A tableware group from the hinterland of Ibida–Slava Rusă (Northeastern Moesia Inferior)

Summary/Abstract: In the summer of 2010, an archaeological survey took place in the village of Slava Rusă on the Harasimov property, located about 1.2 km southeast of the late Roman fortress. As a result of this archaeological excavation, a deposit was explored from which numerous artifacts from the Early Roman Period were recovered. Among the discovered objects there are also 54 ceramic fragments, which can be typologically classified as tableware. The ceramic group was divided into two categories: closed forms (for drinking) and open forms (for food consumption). Geographically, all the studied pottery fragments come from workshops in the area of the Pontic basin or the Lower Danube. Their presence alongside handmade pottery fragments specific to the local population proves the existence in the Slava Rusă microregion, of rural communities that underwent a process of Romanization.
