Summary/Abstract: The article presents an amount of Greek (Hellenistic) and Roman epochamphorae fragments, recovered on occasion of some surface investigations at Costine ști -point "Pescărie". The pieces are part of the Brukenthal National Museum collections in Sibiu. Their fragmentary status only allows general observations regarding their typology and chronology.The Hellenistic fragments are dated within the limits of the 4th-3rd (eventually alsothe 2nd) cent. BC. Shapes and clays attributed to Herakleia Pontike and to the Thassiancircle can be recognized; others are of Menda, Rhodes (possibly made in Knidos) and Kosorigin.The less numerous Roman epoch ceramics fragments belong to the brighter coloredclay types, with narrow neck and tube-shaped basis (Shelov type B / Opaiț type I E) from the early Roman epoch and to the LRA 1 type from the 6th cent. AD.
