Title:
Archaeology and Archaeometry in Late Roman Greece: The Case of Mainland and Insular Settlement’s Workshops and Imports
Languages of Item:
English
Abstract:
In the last few years interdisciplinary scientific collaboration has successfully combined archaeological information
and the results of archaeometric investigation revealing a number of new workshops, widening thus our knowledge about the late Roman productions in Greece. Nevertheless, a comparative study of the different production centers has not yet been suggested. Into the framework of this paper the results of the archaeological study and archaeometric analysis of the pottery produced or imported on some sites in Central Greece and islands of the Aegean Sea are presented. The information gathered will contribute to the elaboration of a methodological tool for the study of newly discovered production centers on the basis of petrographic and chemical analyses.
