Abstract
Samples of table and cooking ware, dating back to the Byzantine period of the ancient Greekcolony of Cuma, were analysed by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence andscanning electron microscopy, in order to reconstruct the main technological properties ofthese manufactures. The comparison of minero-petrographical data from these samples withthose of some kiln wastes allowed us to hypothesize a local manufacture for most of theinvestigated specimens and to confirm the relative reference groups. A restricted number ofsamples did not link with the main groups, indicating a regional (or maybe extra-regional)production, in agreement with the widespread circulation of this high-medieval ceramicproduction in southern Italy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
