Abstract

This chapter presents Teanum Ware pottery from Loc. Cappella Marcella, in southern Latium. Although our understanding of this Sidicinian ceramic ware remains insufficient, we take a closer look at the production cycle through observations of processing signs and traces. Based on the assemblage from Loc. Cappella Marcella, we have established six production phases that include the shaping of the vessel, several stages of decoration, the application of black gloss coating, and the firing of the vessel. In terms of decoration, the impressed decoration is done before the application of black gloss coating, the incised and painted decoration is done before the firing, while details in red paint are applied after the firing. Although the study is not exhaustive, it clearly illustrates that the Teanum Ware pottery from Loc. Cappella Marcella differs in appearance and manufacturing techniques both from the traditional Roman black gloss pottery and from other assemblages of Teanum Ware pottery.
