Ceramiche egee e di tipo egeo da Coppa Nevigata (FG). Nuovi documenti

A systematic study of the wheeled- made fine clay pottery from Coppa Nevigata has been recently carried out. This has significantly increased the quantity of Aegean-type pottery from the site that amounts to nearly two hundred pieces. The vast majority of these sherds, which are mostly local imitations of Mycenaean pottery, come from the Late Subapennine levels. Therefore, we have now good evidence that a specialised pottery production flourished at Coppa Nevigata in the Late Bronze Age, as it is already known at several south-eastern Italian settlements. The present paper offers a synthetic discussion of the different aspects related to the occurrence of this kind of pottery productions at the site, ranging from the chrono-typological aspects, to the spatial distribution of these finds within the settlement during the different periods, to the exchange networks which Coppa Nevigata was involved in over the Bronze Age.
