SOME POTIERY FINDINGS OUTSIDE ULMETUM CITY WALLS

Emilian GAMUREAC*

Keywords: field survey, Roman-Byzantine pottery. Cuvinte cheie: cercetare de teren, ceramică romana-bizantină.

Abstract: An archaeological field survey was carried out in between the limits of Pantelimonu de Sus village, Constanta County. This survey was caused by the works undertaken for the installation of a water pipe. There were discovered several different archaeological complexes and mixed Roman-Byzantine artifacts . The pottery fragments belong to some well known typological categories, and they were identified by analogical approach.

Rezumat: Cercetarea de teren din intravilanul comunei Pantelimonu de Sus, judeţul Constanţa, realizată cu ocazia instalării unei conducte de apă, a avut ca rezultat descoperirea unor piese ceramice de epocă romană şi romana-bizantină prezentate într-un succint catalog. Complexele arheologice sunt diverse, iar materialul este amestecat, larg datat în perioada romana-bizantină. Din punct de vedere tipologie, ceramica descoperită se încadrează în tipurile cunoscute precum vase pentru transport, vase pentru servitul mesei, vase pentru băut şi vase pentru gătit. Identificarea unora dintre aceste artefacte a fost posibilă datorită analogiilor publicate deja în literatura de specialitate, atît în spaţiul pontic cât şi în alte zone.

In September 2011, two archaeologists ' of the research team excavating in Ulmetum performed a field survey inside the limits of the actual village Pantelimonu de Sus, Constanţa County, on the occasion of installing a water pipe. The surveyed area is situated in the neighborhood of late Roman fortification of Ulmetum, mostly at the Southeastern limit of the village. Essentially, this is the area where most pottery fragments have been found, becoming rare and ceasing as the survey pursued to the center of Pantelimonu de Sus village. Excepting

catalogue piece no 26, derived from an accidental discovery on a private property North-East of the village, which had been brought to us by a local, all the rest of the pottery fragments were discovered on an area between 100 and 200 m West outside the city wall of late Roman Ulmetum. From the very beginning, it was clear that the mechanical intervention in the subsoil for the water pipe installation was almost superficial, because the maximum depth was about 50 cm. Even though this is not an exclusive criterion for dating, the chances to find any remains from the ancient vicus Ulmetum2 decreased drastically and, as it follows, it is probable that our archaeological findings represent only the habitation around the city walls during the late roman era, in close connection with the habitation inside the late Roman city. Still, the archaeological materials discovered are mixed, even if the majority of pottery fragments can be chronologically identified in the Roman-Byzantine period; this leads to the conclusion that there are different archaeological contexts from different times in the same area.

From a total of 60 discovered artifacts, we succeeded in identifying some typological categories of pottery. Excepting the 26 fragmentary objects included in our small catalogue, the rest of 34 fragments of pottery can be identified by typological method, resulting in a few categories: 23 amphora fragments, 6 fragments of pottery which can be included in the category of vasa pota(to)ria (cups, pitchers, pots), and 5 fragments of undetermined pottery, possibly fragments of lids, small cups or other.

Concerning the undetermined 23 amphora fragments, only a few considerations can be made. Generally, they are grouped in 2 large categories: the first, consisting of 7 fragments, has some common characteristics: coarse light brick - red fabric with small particles of limestone and gold mica, and brick - red slip; one of them has some special characteristics: the clay is whitish - yellow, with small black and white particles, maybe pyroxene, sand and small particles of limestone.

The second group consisting of 16 fragments, has coarse fabric, with limestone and gold mica particles, and a dark brick - red color; exceptionally, one of them has fine fabric, similar to some African red slip dishes or Berenice LR 10 amphorae, and is covered with a dense brick- red vernis.

From the last 11 fragments of pottery discovered (cups, pitchers, pots and fragments of lids), only one draws attention by its features, linked to Sântana de Mureş culture: the fragment has a semi-fine grey homogenous fabric and a grey polished slip on the outside.

Aware of the impossibility of determining other methodological outlines, from such a smalllot of items, the first step for a future comparison can be made in relation with the pottery resulted from the archaeological excavations from Ulmetum site. Looking forward, the analysis of the pottery from Ulmetum is a necessary step for further research of this site, and a useful tool for a better and accurate understanding of the centers where the pottery was produced, taking into account that the pottery production in antiquity was an economic, artistic
