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.

Pottery Production in the Northern Sector of the Bay of Salerno: the Fabrics of Pontecagnano and Fratte: The project ?Ceramic Production in the plain of Paestum? allowed us for the first time to define fabrics for the pottery production of the area north of the Sele River with the important Etruscan-Italic settlements of Pontecagnano and Fratte, today both situated in the periphery of the modern town of Salerno.
