ABSTRACT: The goal of this article is to present four, newly discovered artifacts, belonging to the III-IVth centuries AD. The 1st and 2nd objects are two storage vessels (Krausengefäss), discovered at Albiş through field works. They were made on potter’s wheel, from semifine paste, with straight rim.
The decoration consists of waved lines on the shoulder and on the rim. One of the vessel has a narrow bottom, very likely it was dig in the soil for a proper stability. The other one was dig up side down, the bottom is missing. The third one is a cup, discovered in Cernat (unfortunately the finding circumstances are unknown), made on potter’s wheel, of fine paste, burnt on grey, decorated with impressed circles, connected by lines made with a wheel with inserted teeth. The closest analogies are known from the cemeteries outside the Carpathians, from Wallachia, Moldova and the Republic of Moldova (Annex 1/1). In a higher number this typ of vessels appear in the inhumation graves (from a 62 exemplars discovered in 12 cemeteries 48 (80% - Annex 1/2) came from inhumation graves). In 4 cemeteries were made anthropological examinations, resulting a higher frequency in child graves (Annex 1/3). The presence of similar cups in settlements is poor. This could be caused by the fragmentation, being impossible to determine forms. Another problem is the inequal proportion of excavated and published settlements and cemeteries. The idea that this type of cups were made for burial purposes can not be excluded. In my opinion the vessel presented above can belinked more likely to a grave, than to a filling of a storage pit, which mostly are filled with bones and broken pottery. The fact that the vessel was found intact, suggest the provenience from a considerable depth. The confirmation (or denial) of a possible grave or cemetery it falls on the future researches. The fourth one is a comb made of bone, with bell-shaped handle, decorated with bronze rivets. Probably belong to a grave, dated to the IVth-first half of the Vth century. In the second part of the article 18 locations are presented from the Târgu Secuiesc Depression, where material belonging to the Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov culture was discovered. Altogether in the valley of the Black River 20 locations (settlements and/or cemeteries) are known belonging to the Sântana de Mureş-Černjachov culture.
