Abstract

KEYNOTE LECTURE ADELA BÂLTÂC, ALINA MUȘAT-STREINU, ALEXANDRA DOLEA THE POTTERY KILNS FROM THE ROMAN SETTLEMENT OF ȘIBOT–„ÎN OBREJ”, ALBA COUNTY – PRELIMINARY RESULTS The Roman settlement of Șibot–„În Obrej” (Alba County) was first introduced to the academic community in 2011. The rescue excavations which took place during March – October 2012 were initiated due to the construction of Motorway 1, Orăștie–Sibiu segment, lot 1 Orăștie – Sebeș. The archaeological research revealed an extended perimeter belonging to a Roman rural settlement, divided in a habitation area, the settlement (km 9+650–9+910) and the nearby necropolis (9+920–10+054). Alongside contexts specific to a settlement and its necropolis, there have also been identified and researched 14 pottery kilns, discovered in various stages of conservation. Given the careful research and study, it can be established that most of the pottery kilns belong to a single type – circular kiln with central pillar. During the archaeological excavation, the pottery kilns offered rich material that can lead to a typology of the pottery from the recently discovered settlement.
