Anfore dall'entroterra agrigentino. Due casi a confronto: Con questo contributo si desidera presentare le anfore provenienti da due contesti che ricadono nel territorio del comune di Casteltermini, ubicato nell?entroterra siciliano a circa 30 km a NE dall?antica colonia di Akragas. Da un punto di vista topografico l?area presenta altopiani, ancora oggi sfruttati per uso agricolo, bordati da alture, tre le quali emerge Pizzo Santa Croce avente un?altezza di 782m s.l.m.

Amphorae fabric of Entella: Introduction About 70 samples, taken from amphorae found during archaeological investigations conducted at Entella and yielded by a survey project, have been studied for the identification of the present fabric. Two samples have been submitted to petrographical analysis and the results have been compared

Entella (Contessa Entellina, PA). Produzioni locali e importazioni di anfore nella città e nel territorio (VI-inizio III sec. a.C.): Si presentano in questa sede 12 campioni anforici da Entella (Contessa Entellina, PA), in parte sottoposti ad analisi mineropetrografiche per identificare l?area di produzione. Lo scopo è di verificare la possibilità di attribuire all?Entella di età arcaico-classica e protoellenistica produzioni anforiche proprie.
