Multianalytical investigation of wasters from the Tower 8/Porta di Nola refuse middens in Pompeii: Sr–Nd isotopic, chemical, petrographic, and mineralogical analyses
A total of nine representative pottery fragments belonging to ferruginous, carbonate, and thin‐walled wares were recovered in refuse middens outside the fortification wall of Pompeii and subjected to a program of multianalytical operations (thermal ionization mass spectrometry, X‐ray fluorescence, X‐ray powder diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy–energy‐dispersive spectrometry techniques, optical microscopy). The fragments bear manu…
Recycling in the Roman World: Concepts, Questions, Materials, and Organization
In this chapter my aim is to furnish some general context for the several more narrowly targeted contributions that follow by defining certain basic concepts and terms linked to recycling, articulating a set of general questions that we may pose regarding recycling in the Roman world, and then offering what must be regarded as preliminary efforts both to identify the range of materials that the Romans recycled and to characterize the various ways…
Black-Gloss Ware, North Etrurian Red-Slip Ware, and Italian Terra Sigillata from Cetamura Del Chianti: Composition, Provenance, Supply, and Consumption
e rst two issues of HEROM were dedicated to speci c research themes related to the theory and practice of material culture studies. e present issue and the next ones will o er contributions on a wide variety of subjects, linked, however, by the authors' ambition to throw light on the complexities of past life departing from a study of artefacts
Monte Testaccio
Monte Testaccio (Italian for “Potsherd Mountain”) is an artificial mound comprised almost entirely of fragments of olive oil amphoras, located in the Emporium district of Rome. This feature appears to have been created by the systematic disposal of containers for oil imported to Rome by the Roman state that was stored in the Horrea Galbana, a state‐owned warehouse located immediately to its north.
The Production and Distribution of Pottery at Pompeii: A Review of the Evidence; Part 1, Production
This study, in two parts, reviews the evidence from Pompeii for the production and distribution of pottery. Part 1, the present article, considers the production of pottery. Evidence is scant for the pre-Roman period but includes a refuse deposit containing Black Gloss Ware wasters, a pottery kiln with associated Black Gloss Ware and commonware wasters, and a mold for the manufacture of Italo-Megarian Ware bowls. There is substantially more mater…
The Production and Distribution of Pottery at Pompeii: A Review of the Evidence; Part 2, the Material Basis for Production and Distribution
This study, in two parts, reviews the evidence from Pompeii for the production and distribution of pottery. Part 1 ("AJA" 113 [2009] 57-79) considers the production of pottery. Part 2, the present article, examines the material basis for pottery production at Pompeii (i.e., the availability and use of the raw materials) and its distribution. A consideration of the raw materials for pottery production available in the greater Pompeii region and th…
Roman Pottery in the Archaeological Record
This book examines how Romans used their pottery and the implications of these practices on the archaeological record. It is organized around a flow model for the life cycle of Roman pottery that includes a set of eight distinct practices: manufacture, distribution, prime use, reuse, maintenance, recycling, discard, reclamation. J. Theodore Peña evaluates how these practices operated, how they have shaped the archaeological record, and the implic…

Internal Red-Slip Cookware (Pompeian Red Ware) from Cetamura del Chianti, Italy: Mineralogical Composition and Provenience
Excavations carried out at Cetamura, a small Etruscan/Roman settlement in the Chianti Mountains, have yielded a small quantity of internal red-slip cookware (IRSC, also known as Pompeian red ware) pans and lids. This variety of pottery, manufactured from the third century B.C. to the second century A.C., was the earliest of the mass-produced export cookwares that came to proliferate during the Roman Empire. A program of mineralogical analysis inv…
