Ceramica grezza proveniente dalla città di Cagliari (Sardegna-Italia): attestazione di Pantellerian Ware

The present work shows the results of the investigation conducted on the coarse ware from two important archaeological sites in the city of Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy), respectively the S. Eulalia Church underground and Vico III Lanusei. The excavations, carried out during the 90s, discovered a great quantity of coarse ware shards regarding coarse ceramic pastes. The study of these materials was particularly interesting and suggested to advance further investigations on a particular group of fire ware artefacts which belong to the Pantellerian Ware, according to a first formal macroscopical analysis. This work reports the results of an archaeological and archaeometrical investigation on these artefacts, carried out to verify the reliability of this first attribution, comparing there characteristics with the other productions discovered in Pantelleria and in northern Sardinia (particularly in Porto Torres area). In this we verified if the finds from Cagliari area were related to the Pantellerian Ware production, giving further information on the shapes exported in southern Sardinia.
