Amphorae Production in Calabria: Our knowledge of the Greek amphorae production in Calabria is still very limited as until now only one single pottery workshop has been explored extensively at the site of Lokroi/Locri on the Ionian coast ...?

Western Greek and Sardinian Amphorae from Punic Sites in the Southern Mediterranean: New Evidence from Fabric Analysis for Economic Interaction in the Carthaginian Sphere of Influence (6th-3rd century B.C.E.)

Dinamiche e traffici commerciali nella città e nel territorio di Hipponion/Vibo Valentia tra VI-III sec. a.C. attraverso lo studio delle anfore: Nell?ambito dell?VIII edizione FACEM, il presente contributo si propone di presentare i dati preliminari relativi alle produzioni locali/regionali ed all?importazione di anfore provenienti dalla città e dal territorio di Hipponion - Vibo Valentia nel periodo compreso tra il VI e il III sec. a.C. Uno studio completo sulle produzioni anforiche per questo territorio, allo stato attuale, non è stato affrontato ancora in modo del tutto esaustivo, tuttavia l?analisi preliminare dei materiali relativi soltanto ad alcune aree campioni studiate, permette di affermare che la città di Hipponion - Vibo Valentia si presenta assai vitale e ben inserita nei traffici commerciali, pur nel lungo periodo esaminato.
