Materie prime e caratteristiche delle produzioni ceramiche locali dal territorio di Sinnai (Sardegna-Italia)

The territory pertinent to Sinnai district covers a vast area of the south-eastern Campidano of Cagliari region (Sardinia - Italy). The archaeological survey and recent excavations, carried out in this wide region, have revealed a context that from the Roman Age to Early Middle Ages, even under the influence of the urban reality of the Cagliari settlement, kept peculiar features which are particularly shown in the coarse ware production. This work investigates the possible persistence of technical features in the local Roman and Late Roman pottery productions compared with protohistoric pottery found in the same territorial context and particularly highlights the possible persistence in raw material use, identifying the possible exploited provenance quarries.
