The talk will introduce pottery material found in a one-room house at the hill-fort of Dodoparon in south-eastern Bulgaria. In total 57 (almost) complete vessels were found, well dated by the closed context to the end of the 6th c.

AD. The vessels were documented by the traditional way - by form and fabric hand specimen description.

They were also put in context by identifying vessels of the same form within other settlements in the area. However, thanks to the vessel preservation, other finds discovered in the same context and to the archaeometric analysis, we may go even further and say much more about the individual vessels as well as about the whole set of pottery finds.

The talk will introduce several different methodological approaches to pottery studies and some of the preliminary results as the pottery documentation and evaluation is still in progress.
