The Potsherds in Archaeological Context: Pottery from Late Roman Fort of Ulmetum (4th – 6th cent. AD). Report on the 2012 Archaeological Campaign at the North-west Gate. (I)

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to record accurately the archaeological findings of the 2012 excavations campaign at the north-west gate of the Late Roman fortification of Ulmetum – at present Pantelimonul de Sus, Constanța County, Romania. The potsherds are catalogued in a stratigraphic sequence in an attempt to contribute to a better dating of the pottery from this site. In this way some of the largely dated functional types of pottery may be more accurately dated in their chronological contexts. Also the presentation of the stratigraphy may contribute to a more accurate determination of the general phases of the Late Roman fortification use, even the context discoveries in the area of the north – west gate reduce the contribution only to particular aspects.
