Variazioni sul tema: modelli collettivi e interpretazioni individuali nei vasi di alcuni contesti dell’età del Bronzo

This essay focuses on the identification of models behind pottery production in some funerary contexts in the area between the Gargano and the Ofanto valley during the Bronze Age. This aims at defining theoretical approach, in order to identify the models used during the spatial and chronological range examined. It includes the analytical study of functional and stylistic aspects of ancient pottery, in an associative and intuitve perspective which takes into consideration the variations due to different factors, such as the low degree of control in the manifacture and the stylistic variability (individual, local and chronological) admitted in the reproduction of vessel types.
