Această contribuție încearcă să refacă o secvență cronologică și culturală importantă pentru Preistoria sud-estului Europei. Perioada târzie a epocii bronzului a generat, în condiții diverse, reconfigurări ale vechilor scenarii. Este unul dintre primele momente istorice care a dus la scindarea Europei. Astfel, centrele de civilizație mai vechi, de la fațada răsăriteană a Mării Mediterane, tind să devină centre de iradiere/difuziune a bunurilor și ideilor culturale. În același timp, are loc un fenomen de diminuare a rolului cultural jucat de unele zone europene, care tind spre un nou statut. Între două concepte, centru și periferie, am încercat să definesc rolul jucat de ceea ce este denumit îndeobște cu termenul de zonă de contact. Mai rămân de stabilit mecanismul și componentele care au ordonat aceste relații. Din nefericire, pentru mulți ani, cercetarea arheologică din România s-a situat la un nivel conceptual și ideologic adeseori impropriu unor dezvoltări sau încheieri multidimensionale. Achizițiile teoretice și metodologice din ultimii ani permit, pe lângă racordarea la curentele arheologice actuale, conceptualizări proprii care, cu siguranță, vor duce la noi posibilități de abordare.

„The frontiers of the Roman Empire, over 5000 km long, stretch from the Atlantic coast of Scotland, along the Rhine and the Danube, also enclose the Banat region and Transylvania, then going down along the Oriental Carpathians to the Black Sea; from the southern coast of the Black Sea they continue towards the Near East until the Red Sea; then, in North Africa, they line the edge of the Sahara desert until the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Over this entire area, visible traces of fortifications, roads and settlements are still preserved, but numerous monuments still lay hidden underneath the earth. Despite the fact that the Roman frontiers crossed regions with different relief and climate, they constitute a whole in that they were designed to protect Roman territories. The research of these monuments and the preservation policy regarding them was and is unequal in the various presentday states on whose territory traces of the Roman frontier are to be found. Consequently, in the ‘80s of the 20th century, the idea of globally protecting the Roman frontiers, viewed as a unitary monument, was met. In 1987, Hadrian’s Wall in United Kingdom was declared a UNESCO monument. It was followed in 2005 by the German-Raetian sector, on which occasion the UNESCO committee decided to set up the ‘Frontiers of the Roman Empire’ site. (...)

This project through its complexity generated an interdisciplinary approach of the proposed subject stimulating such future attempts in the archaeological research field. By using the latest technical methods of non-destructive investigation the project did not damage the stratigraphy of the archaeological site obtaining instead a high amount of data otherwise time consuming judging from the archaeological excavations perspective contributing also to the preservation of the cultural heritage.” - Introduction

„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)
