This paper studies the African Red Slip ware and its imitations from the Roman villa with baths in Pollena Trocchia. The site lies on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, in the ancient territory of Naples, and provides one of the largest datasets for late antique Campania. The ARS is 12 % of the entire assemblage and one third of the tableware. Hayes forms 61 and 91 are the most common types in both ARS and its imitations. Overall the assemblage shows strict similarities with the evidence in Naples, although less variety is noted among the types. In the final part, this contribution suggests that ARS and its imitations covered a specific market segment, rather than complementing the local products and provides a workingk hypothesis of a multi-layered distribution system.

The present contribution analyses the impact of the integration of African products on the western markets and its influence on the Roman economy. This study will focus the attention on the African Cooking Ware (ACW) found in Campania and the distribution of this pottery class at the regional and sub-regional level. In fact, the analysis of pottery assemblages from several sites in the Bay of Naples and in the Vesuvian territory has highlighted the existence of a good system of exchange where factors such as roads, merchants and itinerant markets have played an important role. The archaeological evidence suggests that the presence of African Cooking Ware in the region and the prestige of this pottery class has subsequently favoured the emergence of local productions imitating African forms. Therefore, many ateliers already active in Campania began to produce also local imitations of ACW. Finally, in order to better understand the organisation of these ateliers in the region, the present study provides a detailed map that shows the distribution of both the producer and consumer sites, suggesting also the existence of other ateliers in Vesuvian area and in Hirpinia.

Pottery production and circulation in the environs of Vesuvius: the villa with baths in Pollena Trocchia – This contribution provides an overall picture of the pottery found in the villa with baths at Pollena Trocchia and, through it, offers theoretical models of the food practices, the landscape, and the economy of late antique Campania. What has been brought to light so far consists of 20 rooms of a private bath complex, which is tied to a sizeable villa. The site was built right after the AD 79 eruption and buried by the subsequent eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 472 and 512. The pottery assemblage is composed mostly of sherds of the mid-5th c. AD and overall it seems pretty consistent with the published evidence from other Vesuvian contexts. Nevertheless, the ratio among the classes and the presence of some distinctive shapes hint to certain differences in the trade practices between the city of Neapolis and its countryside.

This contribution describes the pottery assemblage from the Roman villa with baths in Pollena Trocchia (Mt. Vesuvius), whose importance resides mostly in its stratigraphy: it was built on top of the AD 79 ashes and buried by volcanic debris in AD 472 and 512, providing sharp chronological markers. After a brief discussion on the exact chronology of the late antique eruptions of Vesuvius, a contextual analysis of the deposits from four rooms of the baths is provided. A thorough description of the pottery assemblages, which are presented by context, classes, and typology, follows. Overall the analysis of the potsherds confirms the hypothesis that, during the last phase before the AD 472 eruption, the baths were abandoned and used as dumping area, while on a macroscopic level the assemblage seems pretty consistent with others from Naples in the third quarter of the 5th century AD.

This paper studies the African Red Slip ware and its imitations from the Roman villa with baths in Pollena Trocchia. The site lies on the slopes of Mt.

Hayes forms 61 and 91 are the most common types in both ARS and its imitations. Overall the assemblage shows strict similarities with the evidence in Naples, although less variety is noted among the types.
