“…Recent archaeometric investigations suggest the presence of locally produced Thin‐Walled pottery (2nd century B.C.–3rd century A.D.) from Neapolis (Faga, ). Kiln waste remains of the so‐called Produzione A della baia di Napoli (Soricelli, Schneider, & Hedinger, ; Soricelli, ; see also Kenrick, , who defines it as Campanian Orange Sigillata ) suggest that workshops were active in this town during the second half of the 1st century B.C. and the first half of the 1st century A.D. Thousands of common ware and amphorae fragments from the Carminiello ai Mannesi excavation (Carsana, ) and cooking ware from Girolamini (Toniolo, ) suggest that ceramic production in Neapolis continued into the Late Roman period.…”

Raw Materials for Archaeological Pottery from the Campania Region of Italy: A Petrophysical Characterization

We performed petrophysical analyses on 34 clayey samples of different geological origin within the Campania region of Italy in order to determine possible sources of raw materials used to produce ancient pottery. Possible raw material sources can be grouped into high-CaO clays (HCC) and low-CaO clays (LCC). HCC are mainly represented by more recent (Miocene-Pleistocene) basinal sediments whereas LCC tend to be associated with basinal, alluvial, and pyroclastic deposits. A chemical comparison between clayey raw materials, modern ceramic replicas, and Campanian archaeological ceramics of several typologies (common ware, cooking ware, fine tableware, amphorae, and bricks) from 8th century B.C. to the Middle Ages (a total of 350 ceramic samples) indicates that HCC were extensively used for common wares and that these were either mixed with temper or levigated. In contrast, most of the LCC were used for the production of cookware. We also analyzed the technological potential of the sampled raw materials, taking into consideration their actual and possible uses. We observed that most HCC deposits were well suited for tableware and amphorae, whereas LCC were better for cookware and some fine tableware

with a contribution by Philip Kenrick 2 Editorial note: A revision of the epigraphic evidence presented in the first volume of the Sidi Khrebish reports in 1977, together with a synthesis of the epigraphy on portable objects which have been published in other volumes has been long overdue. The text which follows was essentially completed in 2008 and has been awaiting the completion of other finds reports, alongside which it was intended to be published in Berenice iv.2. Two sections of the report, on additional texts published since 1977 and revisions/ complementary notes to the inscriptions included in Berenice i, 233-54, have been transferred to the online Inscriptions of Libya project; the remaining sections are now presented here. AbstractThe excavations at Sidi Khrebish, Benghazi, within the Hellenistic and Roman city of Berenice, yielded a considerable variety of inscriptions on portable objects in addition to monumental epigraphy. An account of the latter was published in the first volume of the final reports in 1977, together with a very short and preliminary list of the former. Following the detailed studies of various classes of material, it seemed opportune to bring together an updated account of the inscriptions on 'minor objects', which range from missiles to transport amphorae, table wares, kitchen wares, and lamps.

“…Other regions, e.g., those that involved in specialised agricultural and/or secondary products such as olive oil or fleece [93], relied heavily on trade networks to not only disperse their products for profit, but also to bring in foods and resources potentially not produced in sufficient quantities to support the population in the region [94]. By employing the methodology presented here, land use for cities and regions reliant on trade or tribute can be estimated by increasing or decreasing the spatial requirements for foodstuffs, such as the importation of grain to Rome or Athens [90,91], or non-dietary products such as pottery resulting in a decrease in wood requirements [95]. Such results can then be used for assessments of the impact that changing trade patterns or sociocultural conditions would have had on the populations in question.…”

Abstract:Quantitative reconstructions of past land use facilitate comparisons between livelihoods in space and time. However, comparison between different types of land use strategies is challenging as land use has a multitude of expressions and intensities. The quantitative method presented here facilitates the exploration and synthetization of uneven archaeological and textual evidence from past societies. The approach quantifies the area required for habitation, agriculture, arboriculture, pasturage, and fuel supply, based on a combination of archaeological, historical, ethnographic and modern evidence from the relevant geographical region. It is designed to stimulate discussion and can be used to test a wide range of hypotheses regarding local and regional economies, ancient trade and redistribution, and the resilience and/or vulnerability of past societies to environmental change. The method also helps identify where our gaps in knowledge are in understanding past human-environment interaction, the ecological footprint of past cultures and their influence on the landscape in a transparent and quantitative manner. The present article focuses especially on the impact of dietary estimates and crop yield estimates, two main elements in calculating land use in past societies due to their uncertainty as well as their significant impact on calculations. By employing archaeological data, including botanical, zoological and isotopic evidence, alongside available textual sources, this method seeks to improve land use and land cover change models by increasing their representativeness and accuracy.
