Abstract
In 2010 the Late Roman settlement of Dodoparon was excavated in Yambol Region, south-eastern Bulgaria in a cooperation of Regional Historical Museum in Yambol and the Tundzha Regional Archaeological Project. Within the excavation a single-room house was found, preserving pottery assemblage of about 55 vessels.
Based on the coin hoard of nine coins of Justinian II and Justin I found under the collapse, the destruction of the house might be dated after the year 572 AD. The pottery assemblage found under the fallen roof and burned adobe was spread over the entire room (5.4m x 4.6m).
It contained 37 different table wares, five kitchen wares, six dolia and seven transport amphorae. The amphorae are represented by two types only, known as Kuzmanov XIV sub-variant I (likely produced in Scythia Minor) and the Late Roman 2 (most probably imported from Chios).
From the TW the only clearly imported dish from overseas is the Phocean Red Slipped Ware (LRC) bowl of type Hayes 10/6a. The remaining vessels seem to be produced locally, reflecting common forms known from other late Roman settlements in Bulgaria.
