Abstract
The article presents the primary morphological forms and characteristics of cooking pots and amphorae found during the rescue excavation in Plovdiv at 27 Metropolit Panaret Street. Plovdiv, Roman Trimontium, was a major city in the province of Thracia, located on the Via Diagonalis, an important road going through the empire.
The rich history of the Roman city is represented by the abundance of the material retrieved from the site. From the coarse and storage wares, two principal types of cooking pots and one major type of amphora referring to Dressel 24 (aka Dyczek 25a) are described.
