Summary/Abstract: The article presents Micro-Asian vessels from the second century B.C. until the end of the first century A.D. discovered on Geto-Dacian sites. The lot of Micro-Asian vessels under analysis consists of 171 items discovered on the Geto-Dacian sites in Barboşi, Bâtca - Doamnei, Bedehaza, Borduşani, Brad, Brăiliţa, Bucureşti, Grădiştea, Pietroasele Gruiu - Dării, Piscul - Crăsanilor, Poiana, Popeşti, and Răcătău. The material was examined in order to identify the centres of production, the characteristics of each center’s specific products, and the dating of the items. The results allowed several preliminary observations on the spread of Micro-Asian vessels in pre-Roman Dacia.
