Cuptoare de ars ceramică în Bistriţa medievală

  • Subiect: In Bistriţa, in the historical centre, medieval archaeological vestiges were identified many times; the oldest ones can be placed chronologically in the 13th and 14th centuries. They came either from fortuitous discoveries, or from systematic investigations, occasioned by the restoration of some historical monuments, many times surveys of relatively little extent. In the area occupied by the historical centre, the consistent depositions revealed by the archaeological investigations and by the geotechnical studies are the result of the intense constructive activity developed hundreds of years in a relatively little space, surrounded by the precincts wall of the medieval city under the circumstances according to which Bistriţa was early an urban settlement. A special place in the series of the archaeological discoveries which brought to light the medieval ceramic to Bistriţa is occupied by the two kilns for burning ceramic identified near the new Palace of Justice, on the occasion of some works of public utility. Under these circumstances, the research of these ovens made the object of a salvation digging. There are two simple kilns, without grill, full with medieval ceramic. Concerning the structure of the material in discussion the usual ceramic is represented. There is present the reddish and brick-coloured ceramic but also the grey species. The overwhelming percent from the total of recovered fragments is owned by the reddish and brick-coloured ceramic, burned therefore in an oxidant way. It is a well worked rough, compact enough, good quality paste. The present forms are the pot without ears, the decanter with lobbed mouth, the tureen, the pitcher, the little tray. The date of the material is assured by the coin from Louis I de Anjou, at the middle of the 14th century, discovered on the fireplace of one of the kilns.
