The archaeological researches carried out during 2009-2012 period in various sectors of the Isaccea, “ Fortress” site (Noviodunum), Tulcea County made possible the recovery of an assemblage comprising osseous materials artefacts. Their study marks the beginning of the systematic analysis of this type of pieces discovered at the site. The reduced number of artefacts that is studied with this occasion (13) and their dispersion in various places of the site do not allow us to formulate some detailed conclusions. This analysis aims at highlighting the recent discoveries and the primary data related to this in an extensive manner. The catalogue offers all these significant data regarding the artefacts. They are presented according to the current methodology of the domain (C. Beldiman 2007). The typological categories that form the assemblage includes : I Tools ; III Adornments/ Accessories ; V Varia, Game pieces ; Technical pieces (Wastes). The quantitative repartition of the types illustrates a predomination of adornments/ accessories category (bone plates ; bone button), followed by the one of tools (bone points ; bone needles). Varia category comprises a bone dice and a red deer antler waste. The most of the pieces are dated from the Middle Ages (13th century) ; a piece was attributed to the Roman period (bone dice).
