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

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. …
