Abstract
In this work, a provenance and technological investigation on cooking-ware potteries from the ancient Greek -Roman town of Akrai (Palazzolo Acreide, Syracuse, Sicily) has proposed. A multi-methodological approach have been used to study the manufacture quality of analysed materials; in detail, petrograp hic, mineralogical, spectroscopic, chemical, porosimetric and micro-morphological analyses have been applied. The study providesfundamental contribute in archeological issues related to circulation in Sicily of cooking -ware productions during Late Roman Age; in fact, the obtained results allow to recognize in the site the presence of different well-known cooking-ware Roman productions, highlighting interesting questions about the technological and manufacture properties of this class of materials.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
