CERAMIC VESSELS DECORATED WITH GROOVES AND PALMETTES FROM GRĂDIȘTEA DE MUNTE-SARMIZEGETUSA REGIA

Summary/Abstract: The ceramic material discovered in pre-Roman Dacia, at Grădiștea de Munte–Sarmizegetusa Regia, is remarkable by its great diversity. If local products enjoyed more attention from the researchers, the same cannot be said about the imports or their imitations. These last categories need special attention. With the exception of painted ceramics, which has been more carefully analyzed, the rest of the products still need in-depth studies. A thorough analysis of “grooved” ceramic vessels, and those decorated with palmettes offers new interpretations of their functionality, provenance and chronology, as well as data on the contexts of their discovery.
