Technological transformationsin the pottery production in the first half of the 4th millennium BC: archeometric data from Scanzano Cave, Masseria Stevanato and Parco San Nicola - This paper presents the results of characterisation analyses of 28 samples of Neolithic and Copper Age pottery from the site of Scanzano Cave and Masseria Stevanato (Bari) and Parco San Nicola (Rutigliano). Archaeometric analyses were performed at the Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra e Geoambientali of the University of Bari “Aldo Moro”. The samples are almost petrographically inhomogeneous and different potter fabrics can be distinguished from their composition and grain-size distribution. The existing relationships between the various sites and ceramic classes, their chronology and fabric are discussed. The analysis of mineral phases allowed distinguishing the various contributions to the NPIs between those of safe origin by Vulture volcanism, such as K-feldspars barium-rich and Ti-augitic pyroxenes and garnets, and those who have certainly source rocks of the Apennine slopes, such as pyrope or almandine rich garnets.

Abstract

Archaeometric analyses were performed at the Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra e Geoambientali of the University of Bari “Aldo Moro”. The samples are almost petrographically inhomogeneous and different potter fabrics can be distinguished from their composition and grain-size distribution. The existing relationships between the various sites and ceramic classes, their chronology and fabric are discussed. The analysis of mineral phases allowed distinguishing the various contributions to the NPIs between those of safe origin by Vulture volcanism, such as K-feldspars barium-rich and Ti-augitic pyroxenes and garnets, and those who have certainly source rocks of the Apennine slopes, such as pyrope or almandine rich garnets.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
