Considerations Regarding Earthen-Buckets Found at Capidava
Problems of Conservation and Restoration
The systematic archaeological research made at Capidava led to the discovering of a rich ceramics material, dated Early Middle Ages, and made up from objects of different shapes and sizes. Among these are also to be found Earthen- buckets with round bottom. They represent though a common founding among archaeological material, if we speak of X-th to XIII-th centuries, found not only in nowadays’ Romania, but also found in the big space from Don to Middle Danube. Even though Earthen- buckets from Capidava occupy a special place in archaeological monographs, I felt the need to bring some further information, providing the second part of this study to be dedicated to problems of conservation- restoration of some of them, pursuing the technology and the principles used in restoring works of art.
