Collection of ceramic items from Butuceni in the National Museum of History of Moldova

Summary/Abstract: In 2006, a collection of ceramic objects from the archeological excavations of the Getae fortress of Butuceni, which had been carried out by G. Smirnov in 1947-1949, was transferred to the National Museum of History of Moldova. In the museum, the collection was processed, and the vessels, which were amenable to reconstruction, were restored by specialists of the institution. Thus, 18 hand-shaped and three wheel-made vessels are currently available for research, as well as nine stamps of Greek amphorae. In this article, in the form of a catalog, the restored vessels and amphora stamps are described.The introduction into the scientific circulation of the vessels discovered in Butuceni in 1947-1949 will replenish the rich archaeological finds from this site, already known after the excavations of 1983-2000, as well as in recent years.
