Abstracts

In the presented contribution, we are devoted to finds of Roman-provincial ceramics from the region of Moravia, Czech Republic, specifically the area of the present-day South Moravian, Zlín and Olomouc regions. In terms of time, the work is limited to the Roman period. In the region of Moravia, Roman-provincial pottery was discovered in 11 locations, in approximately 41 graves. In total, around 450 fragments/vessels were found in the burial grounds. In terms of numbers, it was most represented in the Šitbořice, Modřice and Velké Hostěrádky burial grounds. Roman-provincial ceramics were also found in the Kostelec na Hané, Mikulov, Nedakonice, Velatice, Hroznová Lhota, Miroslav and Znojmo burial grounds. Fine yellow-orange ceramics, fine grey ceramics, glazed ceramics and terra sigillata are mainly represented. Among the shapes, jugs, ring bowls and mortars are mainly represented. The role of this pottery in burials is questionable. As the finds from Šitbořice show, the ceramics found in the layers may not come from destroyed graves. It could be related to burial rituals.
