„Cartea Iuliei Hossu debutează printr-un prim capitol dens teoretic, ce ar putea ține locul unei lucrări de sine stătătoare asupra istoriei problematicii pe care urmează să o elaboreze. Într-un prim subcapitol sunt analizate 1.1. Rudenia – scurt istoric al conceptului, cu referințe aproape numai străine, 1.2. Categoriile rudeniei, 1.3. Terminologia rudeniei, după care autoarea dezbate viziunea evoluționistă a părintelui acestui domeniu al antropologiei, Lewis H. Morgan, cu a sa celebră Sisteme de consangvinitate şi de alianţă în familia umană, din 1870, urmată de analizarea conceptelor lui W.H. R. Rivers, expuse într-o lucrare din 1915. Urmează perspectiva lui K. B. Malinowski cu viziunea funcționalistă și cea a lui Alfred Reginald Radcliffe-Brown, dezvoltată în două subcapitole. Nu în ultimul rând, sunt abordate și viziunile lui Claude Lévi-Strauss și a structuralistului David Schneider, criticul sistemelor clasice și al descendenților acestora.” (Ion Cuceu din Prefață)

„Roman pottery is an important indicator of provincial economic life at multiple levels. the detailed study of this material culture category provides valuable information regarding the characteristics of the local ceramic industry and the geographic distribution of its products, either regionally or at the scale of whole the Empire, but is equally revelatory for the reconstruction of various aspects regarding the local population's everyday life. their culinary preferences are reflected by their choice of cooking, serving, storing, and transportation vessels, furthermore, the funerary rites can also be differentiated according to the pottery gravegoods, while the patterns of construction activities can be highlighted by the quantity of ceramic building material (CBM) produced and used in various periods.

The ceramic goods were produced in workshops whose integral structures were often only superficially treated within the investigation of certain sites, thus hindering the possibility of elucidating the process and organization of the pottery production of these provincial centres. For this reason the information needed to outline a comprehensible image concerning this important branch of the ancient economy has to be pieced together from fragmentary datasets which once joined together offer an extremely interesting picture.” (Introduction)
