Summary/Abstract: Based on the current state of research and through the study of materials resulted from excavations or coincidental discoveries, we have attempted to reconstruct daily life aspects of the German Hospites’ communities from the South of Transylvania in the 12th and the 13th centuries from the perspective of material culture1. In order to properly achieve such a complex task, in addition to a multidisciplinary approach2, it is necessary to perform a thorough and detailed analysis of the artefacts and the context of their discovery. The approach to this topic has encountered difficulties, especially due to the small number of systematic archaeological researches regarding the German colonization in southern Transylvania in the 12th and the 13th centuries3. Most components included in the catalogue come more from fortuitous findings and are less the result of archaeological research.
