Pottery Production in the Bay of Naples Problems, History of Research and Current Strategies: For more than a thousand years the Bay of Naples was not only one of the most important and dynamic areas of the antique Mediterranean, but also a region well known for its production of pottery

Pottery Production in the Bay of Naples The Black Glaze Ware: The fabrics established below result from several sites in the Bay of Naples and from Velia as an example of the distribution area. Probably most important are 36 samples of Black Glaze Ware, which stem from the excavations of Piazza Nicola Amore in Naples
