Lrcw i

This substantial volume presents the proceedings of the LRCW I, the first international conference on Roman pottery other than tablewares held in Barcelona in 2002. The aim of the study is to demonstrate that studies of terra sigillata alone are not sufficient for reconstructing trade patterns in the Mediterranean and the food tastes of the empire. Arranged geographically the 48 papers examine evidence from the Iberian peninsula, the western Mediterranean islands, Gaule, Italy and the central Mediterranean islands, Africa, the eastern Adriatic and the eastern Mediterranean. A number of approaches are adopted, comprising archaeological papers, studies of transportation, trade and supply, and archaeometric analysis of fabrics. Papers in English, Spanish, Italian, French and German.
