Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavation of the ancient city of Morgantina in southeastern Sicily since 1955 has recovered an extraordinary quantity and variety of pottery, both locally made and imported. This volume presents the fine-ware pottery dating between the second half of the fourth century BCE, when Morgantina was a thriving inland center closely tied to the Hellenistic east through Syracuse, and the first half of the first century CE, when Morgantina had been reduced to a dwindling Roman provincial town that would soon be abandoned. Bearing gloss and often paint or relief, these fine ceramics were mostly tableware, and together they provide a well-defined picture of the evolving material culture of an important urban site over several centuries. And since virtually all these vessels come from dated deposits, this volume provides wide-ranging contributions to the chronology of Hellenistic and early Roman pottery. An introductory chapter sketches out a comprehensive history of the city, discusses the many well-dated archaeological deposits that contained the excavated pottery, and defines the major fabrics of the ceramics found at the site. The bulk of the volume consists of a scholarly presentation of more than 1,500 pottery vessels, analyzing their shapes, fabrics, chronology, decoration, and techniques of fabrication. This rich ceramic material includes significant bodies of Republican black-gloss and red-gloss vases, Sicilian polychrome ware, and Eastern Sigillata A, as well as early Italian terra sigillata, with numerous examples imported from Arezzo and other Italian centers, along with regional versions from Campania and elsewhere on Sicily. The relief ware includes important groups of third-century BCE medallion cups and hemispherical moldmade cups of the second and first centuries BCE. Morgantina was also an active center of pottery production, and the debris from several workshops has been recovered, enabling Shelley Stone to reconstruct the working techniques and materials of the local craftsmen, the range of ceramics they produced, and how their products were influenced by pottery imported to the site from elsewhere on Sicily, the Italian mainland, and even more distant centers. The volume also presents new information about the sources of the clay used by the Morgantina potters, as revealed by X-ray fluorescence analysis of selected vases.

This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sigillata africana è una classe di ceramica fine, da mensa, di qualità più o meno raffinata, coperta interamente o in parte da vernice di colore rosso-arancione, più o meno liscia e brillante, che, decorata in vario modo, ha ampia diffusione dal I al VIII sec. d.C. in tutto il Mediterraneo e soprattutto lungo le aree costiere. I materiali africani sono veicolati per mare e ritenuti "merce di accompagnamento" delle anfore e del loro contenuto (l'olio africano). La sigillata africana C proviene dalla regione della Bizacena della Tunisia centro-orientale e si diffonde sporadicamente all'inizio del III sec. d.C. per essere poi sostituita dalla produzione in sigillata D. Tra la fine del III e gli inizi del IV secolo d.C. si assiste ad una ripresa delle officine della Tunisia settentrionale intorno all'area dell'antica Cartagine, che coincide con il maggior sviluppo della produzione in sigillata africana D tanto che proprio in questo momento si registra la massima diffusione della cultura figurativa africana nel Mediterraneo occidentale. A partire dalla seconda metà del IV sec. d.C. però, comincia un primo periodo di decadenza che porta, dapprima, ad una provincializzazione delle produzioni e, poi, ad un loro lento e costante declino a favore di forme di qualità, argilla e vernice sempre più scadenti. La classe dimostra una certa standardizzazione dei tipi e dunque l'esistenza di una tradizione ben consolidata, testimoniata dall'elevatissimo numero di produzioni. La dominazione vandala sembra comportare un declino delle esportazioni verso l'Oriente, dove la sigillata D è sostituita dalle ceramiche pergamene e cipriote mentre in Italia Meridionale la diffusione di tale ceramica riprende con la riconquista bizantina. La sua definitiva scomparsa si deve invece all'invasione araba dell'Africa (647-698 d.C.) che comporta la rottura dell'asse Cartagine-Costantinopoli e, di fatto, interrompe l'esportazione della classe.

Book excerpt: La terra sigillata italica proveniente dal Quartiere Ellenistico-Romano di Agrigento costituisce un ricco complesso di attestazioni, che attraverso l'esame delle forme, delle decorazioni e soprattutto dei bolli, consente di ricostruire tempi e modi della circolazione del vasellame fine da mensa italico tra la media età augustea e l'età flavia su un sito urbano, che per la sua rilevanza rappresenta un campione estremamente significativo della caratterizzazione del mercato della Sicilia centro-meridionale rispetto al resto dell'isola e dei suoi rapporti con i centri di produzione e con le correnti di scambio che attraversano il Mediterraneo. Antonella Polito, specializzata in archeologia classica presso l'Università degli Studi di Catania con tesi su La ceramica sigillata africana da Agrigento e dal territorio, dottore di ricerca in archeologia e storia dell'arte greca e romana presso l'Università degli Studi di Messina con tesi su La terra sigillata italica liscia dalle case romane in contrada San Nicola di Agrigento, ha seguito numerose campagne di scavo in Sicilia in collaborazione con la Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali di Agrigento e in Nord Africa come componente della missione archeologica dell'Università di Messina a Leptis Magna (Libia).

Download or read book Morgantina Studies Volume III written by Ninina Cuomo di Caprio and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kilns at Morgantina, site of the well-known excavations in central Sicily, are an outstanding example of multiple potters' workshops in use during the late Hellenistic period. In fully documenting these ten kilns, excavated between 1955 and 1963, Ninina Cuomo di Caprio offers both a representative cross-section of the physical setting of ceramic production in this ancient Greek city and evidence for its daily industrial activity. She includes detailed plans and section drawings of each kiln and formulates hypotheses on its operation in light of modern thermodynamics. The text, which is in Italian, is preceded by an English-language summary. Cuomo di Caprio's archaeological study of the kiln structures and their ceramic products is supplemented by such diagnostic tools as thermoluminescence analysis, neutron activation analysis, X-ray diffraction, and optical examination by polarizing microscope. Opening an entirely new window into the everyday working practices of the Morgantina potters, this study demonstrates that they operated at a very sophisticated level: selecting and purifying specific clays, and adding certain materials to manipulate their working and firing characteristics.
