Abstract
The study of ceramic fi ndings from the new systematic archaeological investigations in the towns of Egnazia and Siponto, together with the analysis of items in museum storage, broadens the horizons of knowledge of ceramics with negative decoration in the Byzantine and Islamic styles found in important ports; the existence of thriving medieval traditions is well documented in terms of archaeological materials. Th e abundance of stratigraphically contextualized material, moreover, makes it possible to accurately determine the chronological periods to which the various types of production and importation correspond. Indications regarding provenance and technological characteristics are supported by archaeometrical investigations, the results of which are in line with those from the archaeological analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
