Roman Pottery Kilns in Modern Serbia

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with Roman pottery kilns from the territory of modern Serbia. In Antiquity, this territory was first part of the Roman provinces Pannonia Inferior and Moesia Superior, and later of Valeria, Panonia Secunda, Moesia Prima, Dacia Ripensis, Dacia Meditteranea and Dardania. The kilns can be dated from the 1st century to the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 5th century. Most of the kilns mentioned in this article were situated near big city-centers, like Sirmium or Viminacium, but also next to large military camps, like Novae, Saldum or Transdierna. The pottery production centers were often situated next to the necropolises, outside the city walls but often also close to clay sources.
