Amphorae and Coarse Ware Fabrics of Panormos: Evidences for Local Production and Export: Unlike in Motya and Solus, the chrono-typological aspects and the archaeometric features of Panormos' pottery repertoire have still not been studied in detail. Furthermore, to date, we have no information about the localisation of an industrial quarter during the Punic and Roman phase of the site
