Sigillata from the Insula II and a private house in the Eastern quarter of Velia ? chemical analysis and archaeological discussion: Chemical analysis of siglillata found at Velia (Gerwulf Schneider) In 1993 a series of 28 samples of Sigillata at Velia were selected by S. Zabehlicky for chemical analysis. Another eight sherds of Italian sigillata (Lab.nos. F 911-F918) were submitted for chemical analysis in 1997 by H. Liko and first presented in her unpublished thesis? Die Formen der analysierten Sigillata (Susanne Zabehlicky-Scheffenegger) 1987-1993 fanden neuerliche Grabungen in der Insula II in der Unterstadt von Velia statt. Die Sigillata wurde 1992/93 in Auswahl von M. Phillip vorgelegt, eine weitere Aufnahme erfolgte 1993 durch S. Zabehlicky-Scheffenegger. ?

Pottery Production in the Bay of Naples ? Problems, History of Research and Current Strategies: For more than a thousand years the Bay of Naples was not only one of the most important and dynamic areas of the antique Mediterranean, but also a region well known for its production of pottery?

Terra Sigillata from the Bay of Naples: For the present identification and presentation of terra sigillata produced in the Bay of Naples only samples from the consumption area were used, as it was not possible to have access to finds from the supposed production area?
