Coarse Ware Fabrics of Iaitas: Fabric descriptionIAIT-C-1 (M 194/1. 2; M 195/3. 5. 6)The main characteristics of fabric IAIT-C-1 consist of a fine and compact matrix with a very-fine to fine sand temper, mainly composed of very small-sized calcium carbonate particles and micritic clots, as well as a low quantity of small-sized quartz grains. …

Ceramica dipinta e di uso comune acroma di Monte Iato. Contributo per una prima caratterizzazione della produzione locale della prima età ellenistica (fine del IV – prima metà del III sec. A.C.): Il presente contributo discute 13 campioni di ceramica dipinta a bande e acroma, provenienti dallo scavo di un quartier abitativo a Monte Iato (Provincia di Palermo). …
