La produzione e la circolazione delle anfore della Campania in epoca ellenistica e romana: casi di studio e prospettive della ricerca archeologica e archeometrica

The paper aims to summarize what is actually known about pottery production, and in particolar amphoras, in Campania during the Hellenistic and Roman period. Archaeometrical analysis have been carried on Campanian vessels since the ‘80s, but the lack of reference groups makes very di"cult to identify the production centers. !e project “Immensa Aequora Fabrics Atlas - Roman Ceramic Production Sites and Shipwrecks of Tyrrhenian Italy” is conducting analysis and now we have more information about the group “Ischia/bay of Naples” for Greco-Italic amphoras, Sorrento and the Vesuvian area for Dressel 2-4, and northern Campania.
