Summary/Abstract: The Beidaud Archaeological Microzone, located west of the commune of Beidaud (Tulcea County), groups a series of archaeological sites dating from various periods: a Neolithic site, a fortified settlement dated from the First and Second Iron Age/Archaic period until the Late Roman period, a Roman rural settlement, and an Early Roman tumular necropolis. In this paper we will present the results of the surface survey carried out during the 2020 campaign, focusing on the area of the Roman settlement, where a significant quantity of archaeological materials, exclusively pottery, was discovered. After presenting the main ceramic categories, we will discuss these finds’ major importance in determining more clearly the settlement’s habitation period. Moreover, this material represents good evidence for a first picture of the everyday life of the inhabitants.
