Summary/Abstract: In the 2017 archaeological research campaign, in a pit (conventionally marked Gr.3) from the settlement of the free Dacians from Roșiori (Neamț County) were discovered three tokens of clay: two gray and one brick-red. On the occasion of the resumption of excavations in 2019, in the living level a similar brick-red token was discovered. As it was located close to the other three pieces mentioned, we consider the piece as a component part of the group mentioned above. The artifacts were most likely used as game pieces.
