Summary/Abstract: This article represents a contribution to the knowledge of the circular pot stands vessels belonging Gumelnița culture, phase A2 communities. In the following pages, we propose to present a batch of 34 vessels, with varying degrees of fragmentation, entered into the heritage of the Ialomița County Museum following the systematic archaeological research campaigns from 1989-2004, of the Borduşani Popină tell, Ialomita County. Archaeologically documented since the end of the Boian culture, this type of vessel appears throughout the Gumelnița culture, with different variants, with zoomorphic or anthropomorphic elements, shaped from different categories of paste, with various surface treatments techniques and variations of the profile or decoration. In the case of the studied batch, we note the high degree of fragmentation, most of the vessels consists only in small fragments, a situation that led to the fully restoration of only four of the objects. However, the analysis of the entire batch provided important data regarding fabric, firing, decoration, diameters, etc., data that we are going to share below.
