The Black Glaze Ware of Velia: Introduction Although no kilns had been found up to now, we can assume that Black Glaze ware was produced at Velia on the basis of few misfired pieces at least for the Late Classic to the Early Hellenistic periods. The best evidence is a staple of baked skyphoi or cup skyphoi published by R. Maffetone,?

Pottery production at Velia: Ceramic raw materials and archaeometric analyses: Introduction The local production of pottery, bricks and tiles has been assumed for Velia as well as for many other colonies in Magna Graecia at a rather early stage of research, but the characteristics and the development of this production remained unknown for a long time?

Fabrics of Velia: The classification of fabrics is based upon the macroscopic analysis of all diagnostic fragments of the material of studied contexts of the Austrian excavations. These comprise a context of the Early Classical period in the Lower town of Velia...
