Pompeian pigments. A glimpse into ancient Roman colouring materials
Archaeometric Characterisation and Assessment of Conservation State of Coins
The paper presents the first archaeometric results on a selection of ancient Roman coins (antoniniani) from a treasure found in the Roman necropolis area of ancient Cumae (Southern Italy) during archaeological campaigns by the Centre Jean Bérard. A multi-analytical approach consisting of non-destructive techniques (stereomicroscopy, FESEM-EDS, pXRF, Raman, μ-CT) was implemented on the better-preserved coins of the treasure in order to investigate…

Minero‐petrographic characterization of fine ware from Cales (South Italy)
79 samples of black glazed pottery, Terra sigillata, fine common ware, and production indicators were recovered in the archaeological site of Cales and investigated via a multi‐analytical program (polarized light microscopy, thermal analyses, XRPD, XRF, FESEM, FESEM‐EDS). Among the materials, finds of important production indicators, represented by welded pieces of black glazed pottery and spacers, attest a local production. Polarized light micro…
Focusing on red and black engobes in Roman pottery from Cumae (southern Italy)
The Mediterranean trading centre of Vivara (southern Italy)
Roman technological expertise in the construction of perpetual buildings
Ceramic building materials from the ancient Témesa (Calabria region, Italy)
Production technology of late Roman decorated tableware from the Vesuvius environs
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…
A pottery workshop in Pompeii unveils new insights on the Roman ceramics crafting tradition and raw materials trade
Characterization of ancient building lime mortars of Anhui province, China
The characterization of lime mortars has become of primary importance in order to obtain information about the raw ingredients and building technology of ancient masonry structures. Five different samples from Anhui province, China, representing two types of lime mortar‐based materials: joint mortars between the bricks of the city wall and lime mortar sealing a tomb coffin, were collected for analysis. Archaeological information about the samples…

Local production and imitations of Late Roman pottery from a well in the Roman necropolis of Cuma in Naples, Italy
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 …
Sr-Nd isotopic fingerprinting as a tool for ceramic provenance
Distinctive Volcanic Material for the Production of Campana A Ware
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…
