POTTER OR ARTIST? CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF ROMAN POTTERY DECORATED WITH INCISIONS, IMPRESSIONS AND STAMPS FROM POTAISSA

Summary/Abstract: This article covers 29 Roman ceramic vessels decorated using various techniques, mainly contributing significantly to the enrichment and expansion of the repertoire of stamped pottery. All the vessels presented originate from extensive preventive archaeological research conducted at Romana Square no. 17, an area located in the central part of ancient Potaissa (Turda, Romania). In addition to a brief overview of the techniques and tools most commonly used by potters, the article provides a detailed description of the decorative stamped motifs (vegetal, geometric, zoomorphic), incised, or created through finger impressions. Finally, the catalogue of the studied ceramics offers a more detailed analysis of their archaeological context.
