Glass vessels discovered in Dacian Buridava

The article presents glass items discovered over time during archaeological excavations performed on the Dacian site of Buridava and preserved in the collection of the “Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu” Vâlcea County Museum. The analyzed fragments were once part of glass vessels created in diff erent techniques: sagging, mold-blown, free-blown, cut-faceted, and splashed glass. Most identified shapes are ribbed bowls, but one could also mention one cylindrical beaker with inscription, a beaker with cut-faceted decoration, one “carchesium” fragment, two fragments from bottles handles, one skyphos (?) handle, and one fragment from a rython(?). Though the analyzed lot includes a relatively small number of items, it draws attention due to the variety of production techniques employed and the variety of identified shapes. Taking all these into consideration, one may say that the lot represents a group of glass items typical to the chronological interval between the end of the 1st century B.C. and the beginning of the 2nd century A.D.
