Summary/Abstract: A kiln was discovered in 1999, during the archaeological excavations în Oraşul de Floci (comrn. of Giurgeni, Ialomiţa county). In the upper part of a pit situated în front of the kiln, at 0.95 m depth, among other ceramic fragments, was found an earring, made of copper, omamented with six spiral wires. The earring comes from the levei of destruction, after the abandonment of the kiln, and was dated by a coin issued during the reign of Ferdinand I ( 1526-1564). The house situated în its south-eastem part was dated latter, according to the stratigraphy and the coins issued in 1551, during the reign of Ferdinand I. Most probably, the earring can be dated sometime between the years 1526 and 1551.
