DESCRIZIONE PETROGRAFICA DI CERAMICHE COMUNI DI ETÀ ROMANA DA SAN POTITO IN BASE A SEZIONI SOTTILI
PETROGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF COMMON CERAMICS OF ROMAN AGE FROM SAN POTITO IN BASE TO SUBTLE SECTIONS

Summary/Abstract: Twenty Roman Age home-made sherds from Central Italian San Potito locality were studied by petrographic microscopic method. The ceramics were divided into five petrographic groups on the basis of their composition and structural-textural features. Two groups of the ceramics were tempered with clasts of alkaline volcanic origin, which seem to originate from CentralItalian volcanic territory components. The ceramics belonging to the other three groups contained large amounts of limestone and carbonatic fossils, the origin of the raw material was a marine clayish sediment, perhaps flysch.
