Fabrics of Paestum: The classification of fabrics is based upon the macroscopic analysis of all diagnostic frag? ments of the material of studied contexts of the Austrian excavations ...

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 Southern Sector of the Bay of Salerno: the Fabrics of Paestum: This paper shows the first results of studies 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 southern area of the Sele River plain including the town of Poseidonia/Paestum and minor sites in the territory.
