Interdisciplinary study carried out on the ceramic and archaeozoological material from site no. 6 on the bypass of Satu Mare municipality

Summary/Abstract: Geographically, site no. 6 is located in north-western Romania, Satu Mare county, being part of the Someș Plain area, the settlement being placed on the southern bank of the Someș river. A number of 113 archaeological features had been identified, belonging to the Roman Age, from the 2nd to the 4th century AD. Archaeological material consists mostly of pottery fragments, rarely whole vessels, to which are added daub and animal bones. The analysis of the ceramic material refers to the elements of ceramic technology and morphology, ornamentation techniques, as well as metric characteristics. The analyzed fragments were classified, in terms of ceramic technology - fabric, surface treatment, firing - and metric dimensions, into four categories: hand-made coarse pottery, wheel-shaped fine pottery, hand-made black fine Przeworsk-type pottery, and wheel-shaped rough pottery. To the extent that the ceramic material allowed us, we have compiled the catalog of pot shapes based on criteria primarily related to their functionality. Thus, the following categories were identified: cooking pots (pots with straight or belly-shaped walls), drinking pots (cups), tableware (bowls), miniature vessels. The osteological analysis indicates a management of animals focused mainly on the exploitation of cattle and domestic swine and less on the breeding of ovicaprines. The slaughter ages of big and small ruminants suggest their primary use for utilitarian purposes (secondary products, traction) and only secondarily for meat. Pigs were bred for meat. Other species identified in site no 6 are equides and poultry
