Abstract
The Archaeological Mission of Chieti University in Cyrenaica (Libya) has investigated in the last 10 years several contexts of the Cyrenaican chora through intensive field surveys and excavations. The pottery finds from the different contexts and sites have been catalogued, both on the basis of their forms and typologies, as well as on the basis of their fabric and productions, in order to create a GIS project mapping their circulation and distribution. Among these numerous finds, the late Roman CW and amphorae are particularly numerous in specific villages and centres with a strong agricultural vocation, dating mainly to the Late Roman and Byzantine periods, with a long continuity of settlement until the 7th century AD. Through combined archaeometric and archaeological studies it is now possible to identify the main local productions and their inner circulation, as well as the markers of import-export, namely the amphorae and their contents.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
