Summary/Abstract: The early medieval fast wheel-thrown pottery discovered in north-western Romania has kindled the interest of the Romanian academic world and not only. To date, a significant number of such finds was recorded and it is likely their number will increase. The specialty literature comprises a series of scientific materials that have addressed the issue of early medieval fast wheel-thrown vessels, reporting existing settlements in north-western Romania characterised by such pottery material. Most recent research carried out in north-western Romania (especially in the Silvania Basin) evidenced settlements characterized by the presence(in various quantities) among the archaeological goods of fast wheel-thrown vessels, while in order to more easily identify such find types we chose the conventional term of Lazuri-Nuşfalău type pottery.
