Laboratory analyses (chemical analysis by WDXRF, MGR-analysis, thin-sections study) were carried out on 112 fragments of black-coated Late Classic and Hellenistic pottery. The main aim of laboratory analyses was to identify provenance groups. The majority of the samples come from a region very probably within present-day Albania where clay with high contents of magnesium, chrome and nickel occurs.

When a large number of samples cannot be taken to a laboratory (e.g. to another country) for archaeometric analysis, precise fabric classification and documentation in the field is necessary. Modern digital cameras offer a cheap and quick way of photographing a fresh break. This could be done with thousands of sherds.

Sigillata finds from Dacian sites (Buciumi, Brâncoveneşti) were compared. Long-distance traded imports were easily identified as coming from Gaul (Lezoux, Les Martres de Veyre, La Graufesenque). The rest of the finds and ten samples of local sigillata from Dacia (Micăsasa, Cristeşti) could not be distinguished so easily by chemical analysis. Multivariate methods yielded ambiguous results and therefore in publications they should not replace the original analysis results, as it is only the latter which allow the interpretation of data to be verified, e.g. by taking possible alteration effects into account. Finally, the finds could not be attributed securely to any of the regional workshops in Moesia or Dacia. More analyses are necessary to establish secure reference groups. With all samples the use of portable XRF was tested. This method could be very important for future studies of museum objects.
