  • Production technology of late Roman decorated tableware from the Vesuvius environs

    Open AccessChiara Germinario, Giuseppe Cultrone et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2020Cited by: 4References: 4

    The northern slope of Mt. Vesuvius contains some interesting archaeological sites, including the site discovered in the town of Pollena Trocchia , where the remains, dated to between the 79 and 472 CE eruptions, document the transition from the Roman to late Roman cultural and socioeconomic settings. Profound changes occurred in this time interval, which can be inferred from changes in the ceramic manufacturing processes. Common wares, as the mos…

    Aim of this study is the characterisation of ancient Roman mortars collected in Piscina Mirabilis, located in the important geological, archaeological and historical area of the Campania Region (southern Italy): the Campi Flegrei. Goals of this research were (a) improving knowledge of Roman construction techniques by means of detailed microstructural and compositional examination of cementitious binding matrix and aggregates, to point out both mo…

  • Local production and imitations of Late Roman pottery from a well in the Roman necropolis of Cuma in Naples, Italy

    Open AccessChiara Germinario, Giuseppe Cultrone et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2018Cited by: 12References: 3

    Archaeological excavations performed in a funerary complex in Cuma (Campania region, Italy) unearthed excellently preserved common wares dated to the third century A.D. Archaeometric analyses were focused on Campanian pitchers, Aegean‐like cooking pots, and pyriform pitchers, the latter recorded for the first time in an Italian context. The local pitchers were manufactured with a high‐CaO clay (CaO = ca. 12 wt.%) and local volcanic temper, fired …

  • Distinctive Volcanic Material for the Production of Campana A Ware

    Open AccessAlberto De Bonis, Stefania Febbraro et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2016Cited by: 16References: 5

    Recent transportation infrastructure works in Naples, Italy, provided important discoveries related to the production of pottery in the Hellenistic workshop area of Piazza Nicola Amore. A minero‐petrographic investigation was conducted on 35 samples belonging to the widespread Campana A ware and production indicators (clayey raw materials, unfired Graeco‐Italic amphorae, kiln wastes, workshop tools). Additional analysis was conducted on black‐gla…

  • Raw Materials for Archaeological Pottery from the Campania Region of Italy

    Open AccessAlberto De Bonis, Celestino Grifa et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2013Cited by: 18References: 6

    We performed petrophysical analyses on 34 clayey samples of different geological origin within the Campania region of Italy in order to determine possible sources of raw materials used to produce ancient pottery. Possible raw material sources can be grouped into high‐CaO clays (HCC) and low‐CaO clays (LCC). HCC are mainly represented by more recent (Miocene‐Pleistocene) basinal sediments whereas LCC tend to be associated with basinal, alluvial, a…

  • Minero‐petrographic Study of Cooking Ware and Pompeian Red Ware ( Rosso Pompeiano ) From Cuma (Southern Italy)

    Open AccessVincenzo Morra, Alberto De Bonis et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2013Cited by: 6References: 29

    Excavations carried out in Cuma by the Centre Jean Bérard archaeologists have uncovered a large quantity of pottery. This study is focused on cooking ware and on internal red‐slip cookware, also known as Pompeian Red Ware ( Rosso Pompeiano ), dated from the first century bc to the first century ad . A comparison with the minero‐petrographic composition of beach sands collected along the Bay of Naples coastline highlights the provenance of the tem…

  • Ceramiche tardo antiche da Pompei

    Open AccessErnesto De Carolis, Celestino Grifa et al.CHAPTERLes céramiques communes antiques…2009

    I risultati di scavi recenti mostrano la relativa vitalità dell’area vesuviana dopo la disastrosa eruzione del 79 d.C. In particolare, i materiali ceramici provenienti dallo scavo di via Lepanto possono offrire una esemplificazione dei prodotti circolanti in quest’area tra lo scorcio del IV e gli inizi del V secolo. Essi provengono da una serie di scarichi che almeno in un’area dello scavo risultavano sigillati da un piano di battuto a sua volta …

  • Byzantine Ceramic Production From Cuma (Campi Flegrei, Napoli)

    Open AccessCelestino Grifa, Vincenzo Morra et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2009Cited by: 5References: 12

    Samples of table and cooking ware, dating back to the Byzantine period of the ancient Greek colony of Cuma, were analysed by optical microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy, in order to reconstruct the main technological properties of these manufactures. The comparison of minero‐petrographical data from these samples with those of some kiln wastes allowed us to hypothesize a local manufacture for most of…
