IV. CERAMICS The pottery from the settlement of Oros is becoming now the largest published ceramic assemblage from an archaeological site assigned to the Hajdiibagos-Cehăluţ cultural group. Brief remarks about the pottery from this archaeological site have been made within the archeological report which presents the results of the excavations performed in the settlement41. Only a small number of other sites of the cultural group mentioned above contain more extensive pottery lots42, most of its pottery being presented within some lots originating mainly from rescue excavations or small archaeological surveys43. The late Bronze Age pottery from „Úr-Csere” was included into a database that helped us to process 640 ceramic items, containing the pottery with a clear shape, respectively ceramic fragments that have distinct decorative elements. The shape of the original vessel could be identified for a total number of 494 ceramic elements included in the database. The directory of the vessel forms from the settlement was set based on complete forms, appealing to the typology of the vessel shapes set for Hajdiibagos- Cehăluţ cultural group, or for some of the sites within it44.
