“…The archaeological studies that have been carried out in the last few years within the framework of the ERC nEU-Med project [7] aimed to provide a more accurate chronological contextualization of the production of some of these ceramic classes between the 7th and 10th centuries. This also encouraged intense research activity that has been focused on the revision of past studies on some ceramic assemblages from different sites located within the Colline Metallifere [60][61][62][63][64]. In the wake of the recent advances in ceramic studies that have been promoted within the nEU-Med project, the more in-depth characterization of pottery manufacture in the Colline Metallifere area provided a solid point of comparison with the exceptional findings of Vetricella.…”

“…284-285). Queste ultime, pur diverse, sono riferibili allo stesso macrogruppo definito "a sezione triangolare", di cui si riconoscono varie declinazioni stilistiche e sono largamente diffuse in tutta la Toscana meridionale (Grassi, 2010), anche se per alcuni esemplari vengono proposte forchette cronologiche lunghe e poco definite tra X e XIII secolo. Le tipologie riconosciute per Miranduolo, pur mostrando caratteristiche simili a quelle attestate nel panorama toscano, non presentano confronti puntuali; oltretutto si tratta di frammenti provenienti da stratigrafie sigillate relative alla fase curtense, per cui, per tutte queste ragioni anticipiamo, anche se di poco, i nostri esemplari tra IX-inizi X secolo.…”

Access Archaeology offers a different publishing model for specialist academic material that might traditionally prove commercially unviable, perhaps due to its sheer extent or volume of colour content, or simply due to its relatively niche field of interest. This could apply, for example, to a PhD dissertation or a catalogue of archaeological data.All Access Archaeology publications are available as a free-to-download pdf eBook and in print format. The free pdf download model supports dissemination in areas of the world where budgets are more severely limited, and also allows individual academics from all over the world the opportunity to access the material privately, rather than relying solely on their university or public library. Print copies, nevertheless, remain available to individuals and institutions who need or prefer them.The material is refereed and/or peer reviewed. Copy-editing takes place prior to submission of the work for publication and is the responsibility of the author. Academics who are able to supply printready material are not charged any fee to publish (including making the material available as a free-todownload pdf). In some instances the material is type-set in-house and in these cases a small charge is passed on for layout work.Our principal effort goes into promoting the material, both the free-to-download pdf and print edition, where Access Archaeology books get the same level of attention as all of our publications which are marketed through e-alerts, print catalogues, displays at academic conferences, and are supported by professional distribution worldwide.The free pdf download allows for greater dissemination of academic work than traditional print models could ever hope to support. It is common for a free-to-download pdf to be downloaded hundreds or sometimes thousands of times when it first appears on our website. Print sales of such specialist material would take years to match this figure, if indeed they ever would. This model may well evolve over time, but its ambition will always remain to publish archaeological material that would prove commercially unviable in traditional publishing models, without passing the expense on to the academic (author or reader).

“…A sub-regional and low-cost Tuscan production was identified thanks to the extensive excavations carried out by Francovich since the 1970s (Grassi 2010). Preliminary archaeometric investigations (Fortina et al 2008) suggested the activity of dedicated workshops between the mid-ninth and the eleventh centuries, when they were mainly located in the countryside, close to large urban settlements.…”

“…Previous excavations in central and northern Italy resulted in the recovery of a small number of fragments of sparse glaze ware (Gelichi 2016). In Tuscany, in particular, the total number of samples from both rural and urban settlements did not exceed a few dozen fragments (Grassi 2010). In this framework, the 10 years excavation campaign carried out at the castle of Donoratico returned an exceptional amount of samples, consisting of more than three thousand fragments belonging to several hundred artifacts (Bianchi 2004).…”

“…The first typological and technological studies on the early medieval production of single-fired glazed ceramics started at the beginning of the 1980s (Museo Civico Archeologico "Giovio" 1985). In the following years, a first systematic project led to the most authoritative study on sparse glazed ware (Paroli 1992), which was followed by few regional focus studies (Cacciaguerra 2009;Grassi 2010).…”

suggested the application of a lead oxide flux to an unfired non-calcareous ceramic body, in accordance with late Antique and early-Medieval traditions. The isotopic investigation of the glazes also suggested different sources for PbO, which was frequently applied as a mix of different metal batches. The Pb isotopic record identified the Southern Tuscany districts (Campiglia Marittima and Colline Metallifere) and a source controlled by the Carolingian kings in the northern districts of Central Europe (either in Aquitaine or in the Middle German ore districts) as the most reliable sources. SEM-EDS showed the presence of tin impurities in the form of secondary cassiterite agglomerates in most of the glazes obtained by the use of local lead. The presence of cassiterite veins in Southern Tuscany lead sulphide deposits was considered as the main cause for tin impurities in the glazing mixture and, thus, an important marker for the exploitation of local lead.
