Aïn Kerouach is one of the most important archaeological sites in the northern part of Morocco. The main buried archaeological ruins in this area were surveyed in 1977 using magnetic prospecting. This survey highlights the mean anomalies that are related to potteries ovens built to the Marinid dynasty that governed Morocco from the 13th to the 15th century. In order to find the maximum depth of the sources, we computed the enhanced downward continuation filter in order to highlight the magnetization contrasts in high detail, depending on the depth downward included in the computation. The main goal is providing a reliable mapping to observe the ovens in depth by shifting the data below the plane of measurement. The results showed an important depth variation of the main ovens given by the original magnetic map and revealed others. Indeed, the downward continuation process applied to analyze the magnetic data shows its efficiency to highlight the buried archaeological structures.

“…71 But the first direct evidence for an association of bakers is found in an Ostian inscription dating to AD 140 and the association is called a corpus, not a collegium. 72 Corpus, rather than collegium, appears to have been the preferred nomenclature for the association of bakers in Ostia and Rome until the fourth century AD. Every inscription attesting an association of pistores during the second and third century AD uses the word corpus.…”

for talking me through some of the more difficult times and for being such good company while backpacking through the George Washington National Forest. I owe much to Dr. Noel Lenski, who set me on the right track. Thanks to the entire Classics department at the University of Arizona, but particularly Dr. David Soren and Dr. Eleni Hasaki. Dr. Bernard Frischer has influenced the direction of my life since my time at the Intercollegiate Center of Classical Studies in Rome. I am heavily indebted epistemologically to Dr. Anastasia Dakouri-Hild who helped me navigate the treacherous world of archaeological theory. Thank you to Dr. Tyler Jo Smith for graciously stepping in at the end and giving me the tools to finish. Dr. Jon E. Lendon and Dr. Elizabeth A. Meyer have taught me what it truly means to be an educator, for which I will be eternally thankful, but I must especially thank Dr. Meyer for reading every word that I ever wrote. Thanks to Dr. John J. Dobbins who has supported me in so many ways it defies enumeration and whom I count among my friends. My parents never questioned why I would choose this path in life (though maybe they should have), but I thank them nonetheless. Above all, without Anne, my best friend and fiancé, I would never have graduated. 9 Furthermore, he notes a difference between fulling in Pompeii and that of Rome, Ostia, and Florence. He argues that the small-scale Pompeian producers were less alienated from their work, in the Marxist sense, than the complex workforce on which large-scale production centers relied. Flohr concludes that "the public craftsmanship of the fuller of Pompeii formed a solid basis for a sound dose of occupational pride." 16 One finds the conclusion that craftsmen were proud somewhat unsatisfying. Although trades people did not share the elite condescension towards them, it is not entirely clear what that means for their place in Roman society. Were they proud of their craft in spite ofor in opposition tothe elite condescension towards them? What was the actual productive capacity of the craftsmen? Did product dependence change their socioeconomic standing in Roman society? If so, what power did the craftsmen wield and to what ends did they implement it? These are the questions that this study addresses through the architectural, artistic, and written evidence for commercial baking in the ancient Roman world. Previous Archaeological Studies of Roman Commercial Baking The earliest work on the Roman baking industry either focuses entirely on artistic evidence or it concerns specific technologies (like millstones) regardless of their specific archaeological context. Hugo Blümner gathers and catalogs the artistic representations of lives of Romans and just because it is difficult to reconcile them with the material evidence, does not mean that it is impossible. 16 Flohr 2013, 348-349. Artistic Depictions of Commercial Baking The depiction of industries and production was a common practice in Roman society, particularly as a component of funerary rituals. Craftsmen would d...
