Ceramic Building Materials of Velia: Description of observed fabrics The five types distinguished by microscopic analysis are based upon one petrographical-mineralogical type (RVZ01) with its subtypes RVZ01a and RVZ01b. The fabrics show the char-acteristics generally observed with all Velinian fabrics, consisting of the lack of any car-bonatic inclusions or carbonate?pseudomorphoses,?

I mattoni bollati di Velia: I laterizi prodotti a Velia in età ellenistica, di largo impiego nell?edilizia pubblica, rappresentano una produzione peculiare per caratteristiche tipologiche e morfologiche e per sistema di bollatura?

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...
