Some remarks on the pottery workshops areas in the military uicus at Acidava-Enoșești Roman Fort

Abstract

The archaeological excavations that took place between 1990 and 2007 in the Roman vicus from Acidava-Enoșești revealed the existence of a pottery workshop here. The poorly published excavations suggested the existence of this workshop in the southern part of the Roman vicus without many details of its organisation. Careful readings of the archaeological documentation made possible further observations on the pottery workshop structures discovered in this area. The paper will outline the existence of a more complex artisanal activity within the area of pottery workshop and will draw attention to some elements ignored before. Along with a more complex illustration of the excavated areas and with a more refined chronology of the excavated pottery workshop structures within the military vicus.
