Summary/Abstract: This short contribution presents a number of 28 fragments of glass discovered in the barrow cemeteries at the Nemțișor and Târzia villages (Neamț County). As part of the funerary inventory in cremation burials these vessels are severely fragmented and deformed and, therefore, very difficult to classify. Still we noted the presence of two gaming pieces (latrunculi), one cone-shaped beaker of Isings 106 type and several fragments of unidentified cups and bowls. The glass vessels discovered in the Carpathian Barrows Culture tombs reflect the level of civilization attained by the Barbarian population in Northern Moldavia in the 3rd-4th centuries AD.
