Abstract
The article examines ceramics that were discovered during the archaeological investigations of medieval settlements and fortresses in Bulgaria and can be related to the Pechenegs. Two categories of ceram ic dishes are registered ā kitchenware and tableware. The most numerous is the fi rst category of pottery, which was used to prepare food. Table ceramics are represented by a small amount of vessels that have no analogues among medieval ceramics from the Balkans. The earliest vessels are from Northeastern Bulgaria, where the earliest Pecheneg invasions took place, namely in the 30sā40s of the 11th century, and those from Southeastern Bulgaria can be dated to the middle or 2nd half of the 11th century.
