The article introduces the primary morphological forms and characteristics of cooking pots and amphorae found during the rescue excavation in Plovdiv along 27 Metropolit Panaret Street. Plovdiv, Roman Trimontium, was a major city in provincia Thracia, located on Via Militaris, an important road going through the empire.
The rich history of the Roman city is represented by the abundance of detected material from the site. From the coarse ware, two principal and outstanding types of cooking pots and one major type of amphora referring to Dyczek 25a are described here.
Only a few clear contexts are preserved due to a high disturbance of the Roman stratigraphical layers caused during the following centuries. Therefore, the main dating point is the destruction of the city by Goths in c. 250 AD, clearly identifiable in the context.
The basic division, then, considers the period before and after the destruction.
