Summary/Abstract: Over the recent years, specialists have started to pay academic attention and to publish the archaeological collection of the Museum Arad. The present initiative is part of the effort to introduce a series of unpublished artefacts into the academic circuit. Gornea‑Kalakača‑type pottery and vessels dated to the second‑fourth centuries discovered during the restricted excavation performed by E. Dörner and E. Ivanoff are the main focus of the present article. Since on‑site documentation does not include data on domestic discoveries,the structure of the settlement, or daily life there, we have attempted to supplement such deficiencies through a coherent geographical and chronological presentation of the micro‑area. We have thus collected all prehistoric discoveries and all finds dated to the second‑fourth centuries in the area around the site that coincides with the present‑day territory of the Aradu Nou District, in the administrative area of the city of Arad.
