Abstract
The excavation of a central part of the Late Antique settlement of Dodoparon revealed a one-room house with a set of 57 ceramic containers, preserved in situ by the house destruction at the end of the 6th c. AD.
The pottery was heavily affected by fire, but still, the majority of the vessels could be partly or fully reconstructed into complete profiles, and their capacity thus measured. The character of the table ware, cooking ware and storage vessels from the site is similar to other pottery assemblages known from inland settlements of the Diocese of Thrace, especially those from northern Bulgaria and Dobrudzha.
Over 50% of the vessels feature the same morphological types as the finds from Sadovec near Pleven, and to a slightly less degree, as those from Gradishteto near Dichin. The imports at the site are represented by one Phocaean red slip dish of the late type Hayes 10; and by seven transport amphorae, five of the Late Roman 2 Amphorae and two of Kuzmanov XIV, sub-variant 1 / Opaiț BV.
