Summary/Abstract: The present article aims to present for the first time the factors that led to the discovery of a rich and varied archaeological material from the Roman period (2nd-3rd century AD), including ceramic, metal or ornament parts, and multiple coins. Regarding the restoration, I chose a bowl, a piece quite rarely found on Dacia Romanes. The vessel in question has a tronconic body worked on the wheel of a fine paste, the burning being inox, with secondary burning traces. The document presents numerous alveoli disposed in three registers which imitate the glasses of glass. The vessel followed the somewhat standard restoration procedure by cleaning ceramic fragments with hydrochloric acid to remove calcareous deposits, neutralizing them in distilled water, drying at room temperature, assembling with aracet adhesive, adding plaster to plastel casting, chromatic integration and final preservation by impregnation.
