Presigillata is the generic name given to the Italian red-gloss pottery of the first century B. C. which predates the beginning of Arretine pottery (ca. 30-20 B. C.). Until recently only small quantities of presigillata had been found at Italian sites. Morgantina in Sicily has now produced approximately 200 catalogued examples of presigillata. Over a third of the presigillata from Morgantina comes from deposits closed in the third quarter of the first century B. C., and thus aids greatly in clarifying the chronology of this style of pottery. Morgantina's presigillata also comprises a full range of the different categories of vessels in use in the first century B. C., allowing the presentation of a typology of shapes. This typology should aid in the evaluation of future finds of presigillata
