Ceramic Production in the Plain of the Sele River. The Preliminary Results of the Archaeometric Analyses: This paper shows a first overview of the archaeometric study carried out in the frame of the project ?Ceramic Production in the plain of Paestum? (2016-2018), which allowed the analyses of a large number of ceramic samples from the area of the Sele River plain including the town of Poseidonia/Paestum and ist territory and the Etrusco-Italic settlements of Pontecagnano and Fratte.

Le produzioni locali nel Santuario di Hera alla foce del Sele: Il santuario di Hera alla foce del Sele, situato a circa 9 km dalla colonia achea di Poseidonia-Paestum, costituisce un osservatorio privilegiato, e allo stesso tempo piuttosto complesso, per la definizione delle attività produttive dell?area in esame.
