Summary/Abstract: Twelve systematic archaeological excavation campaigns were carried out in the site of Roșiori (Țarina Veche point). In some campaigns, especially during the research in the northern sector, some bronze plaques (18) of small and medium size were discovered. These are either raw plaques (4) or plaques/objects in various stages of processing (5). Fewer completed pieces were found (7), sometimes preserved fragmentarily (5) or with traces of repair (2). Along with those mentioned, very small fragments, probably scraps (2) were also found. Most plaques were concentrated on the edge of the terrace and are part of the residential level of the settlement of the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. We assume that they belonged to a craftsman who made various bronze pieces. His working perimeter was located in the area of the furnace hearth and the service pit (marked Gr.2) in the section S.XXI/2022.
