LATE ROMAN POTTERY: ANOTHER TEN YEARS close of the initial phase of the study of the later fine wares of the Roman Moditerranean, pioneered by scholars such as Lamboglia and Waagé. My text was compiled in 1968-60, just at the moment when a spate of new publications ‘was in the course of appearing. Sucl works as J. W. Salomonson’s studies of the classes of Affican Red Slip Ware with applied and relief decoration,! and the Ostia series compiled by A. Carandini and his colleagues could not be fully utilized in Late Roman Potiry, since only minor alterations to the text were possible during the proof stages. Thus the work may be considered as a survey of the current state of Knowledge in about 1968, incorporating the results of my personal researches in, primarily, the eastern regions of the Mediterranea. ‘Over the last ten years the study ofthis field may be sad to have passed through a second phase, exemplified by the works of the authors eited above. One feature of this has been’ the appearance of specialist articles on particular eategories—eg. the Alrican wares with applied motif. Alongside this has conve an enormous upsarge in the number of excavation reports —above ll from the western Mediterrancan—vwhich have paid attention to their later Roman pottery. Pottery studies have gained favour, and “erra sgillata chiara’, alias ‘sigilata africana’, in its various eases, has now become patt of the stock-in-trade of archacologists Irom Italy westwards, "Not all of these excavation reports have shown the same concern with canexis as, for instance, Carandini at Ostia; in some eases competence in identifying finds has clearly oustripped an understanding of stratigeaphic principles in digging. Hence the amount of usefil new information provided by the reported finds—such as may, for instance, contsibute to refinements and eortections in the proposed ehronology— ja not quite commensurate with their quantity. The thet of the mere presence of some easily recognizable type on a site in a region where itis already well attested cannot be said to add significantly to the sum of knowledge; the empliasishence= Forth must be on closely datable assemblages, quantitative studies and the testing of the validity of our identification of wares by petrological and similar analyses A more disturbing consequence of the greater interes in the wares in question is that certain categories—in particular the Afvican wares with decoration—have become collectors’ items. For this those of us, including myself, who have laboured to identify and clasify them must, reluctantly, share some of the blame for having popularized them. ‘The more pity, since most of them are sill only halfunderstood 4 Salomonon (168) (19656):406Bisioraphy in # Osa iv (Sal Mivellnd 0,10, 26, 295 Le.

Tt remains true that, aller another ten years’ work, one pperiod-—the 5th cencury—continues to pose severe problems,* while two others (the tid ged eentiary and the carly Justinianic period) are particularly well documented, For the mid grd century, an extensive destruction deposit from the Sidi Khrebish ‘excavations at Benghazit supplies an intermediate stage between the group of. 240 {rom the Terme del Nuotatore at Ostia,2 mentioned briefly (but not fully analyzed) in LRP, andl the Ax, 267 (Herulian) assemblage in Athens. ‘The Ostia deposit remains the earlist to have produced the fine TS ehiaralafricana Cin quantity, along side late examples ofthe A ware. The A ware forms are still quite well represented in the Benghazi group, while the Athenian Agora finds are almost exelusively of the Co variety. ‘Though the difference eould be partly due to geographical location, an carlier date for the Benghazi group than for the Agora ones is indicated —e. a.D. 25 ‘The Justinianie period (¢. 520-50) is now represented by sealed deposits from several sites in addition to the Antioch find (.b. 526) and certain groups from the ‘Athenian Agora, ete, Contemporary with the Antioch finds is the material (admittedly fragmentary) from the construction levels ofthe church of St. Polyeuktos in Constantinople (publication by Hayes, forthcoming), with a erminas ante quem of ‘A. 526/7. cistern group from Samos, published by Isler,and dated by coins of the second quarter of the 6th century (pre-538), has produced Late Roman C ware similar to examples from deposits of the period in the Athenian Agora.

Supplementary material of the late 4th and early 5th centuries is now available from Kellia in Egypi, showing more clearly the history of interrelationships hetween imports and local products in Lower Egypt. The finds from Conimbriga (Portugal) add a spectacular new dimension to our wnder- standing of the mid 5th century; a terminal date of A.n. 465 or 468 (the dates ofthe Sucbian invasions) fits all but a andl of the objects found there® Some deposits of the late 7th century from Carthage? help to pinpoint the end of the Late Roman, pottery sequence, which at Carthage, at any rate, must wow be considered to fall very lose to the Aral captuce of the eity in Gah Another new dimension has been added to the study of Late Roman pottery by underwater archaeology. In addition to the 7th ecotury wreck from Vassi Ada (Bodrum, Tarkey) cited in LIP, a lute 4th century wreck from the same locality has produced a mumber of fineware vessels? "The most valuable group of fine wares From a wreek site published to date is that from an early sth century site at Porte Miou near Marselle;!

Variant type, with DATING-EVIDENCE Some significant changes in the dating proposed for ARS forms in LRP are now indicated: (2) Finds from Ostia and other sites suggest that the and century datings proposed Were on average about 20 years too early: ic. what was considered Trajante should probably be Hadrianic, and so on. ‘The dates in LRP, based partly on a reassess- ‘ment of the Western finds, were largely a reaction to what then considered to be the ‘excessively long time-spans forthe T-S. chiara A types proposed by Lamboglia (1958). AFRIC N RED SLIP WARE, While I still old that Lamboglia's terminal dates (in his 1958 article) are on average too late, itis now fairly obvious that my own were too early; the truth should he Somewhere in between. Given the appearance of a few ARS Ware vessels at Pompeii the initial dates forthe andl century types are probably not far olf the mark, bout they probably took some time to become well established; the period of ma ‘exportation to Italy and the western provinces probably did not start until Hadrianie times ¢. 4.0. 110-120 (rather than ¢, 96-100). This change-over has to be seen in relation to the fortunes of the Italian TS industry, whieh was still flourishing and exporting in quantity (at least to Greece and Cypes) in Trajanie times. A cor spectus of the Hadrianie phase is provided by Carandini ¢f a in Ova iii, The terminal date of the very common rouletted versions of the bowls Forms 8 and should be extended until at least the 186; a Iragment of Form gis present in the ‘Torre Sgurrata wreck, which produced a coin of Commodus.t” On this hasis the later plain versions (Forms 8B, B) should continue at least into the fist two decades ‘or soof the grd century, which explains their presence in some numbers inthe depasie ‘of ¢, 240 published in’ Ostia i, ‘The date-spans of the related late 2udjearly ged century forms (in Carandini’s Az ware) should be extended accordingly. For Form 12, which does not belong here, ee p. 406.

It may be suggested that local disrap- tions in the Carthage region, which had up to then been the ehiet supplier of the ‘export trade, caused the rapid decline of the local fine pottery industry, either from 430 (the first arrival ofthe Vandals) or from c. 439 (the date ofthe fal of Carthage), ‘The series of dishes and bowls with Style A stamps could all date from before then (except perhaps fora few debased examples like Form 61.35)...

Moreover, the various classified “Central Tunisian’ produets are rare {except for the ubiquitous dishes of Form 50). The faces present at the neighbouring site of Utica seems similar.?

Carthage may be assumed to have served as the main export outlet for these Factories, in addition to being a major ‘onsumer itself The kitchen-ware (unslipped) series corresponding to these products comprises Forms 195-197 (perhaps also 194, to8),4 which are present in Carthage deposits of the and century and later in similar quantities tothe fine wares and, like them, have no real competitors.? One sherd from the Miebigan excavations at Carthage is virtually a waster (or at least a ‘Sceond!).* ‘This series emenges around the Tate ast century A.D. as an offshoot of the standard Early Roman cooking ware of the tarthage region,? which was itself exported fairly widely from Tiberian or ealy Clauedian times onwards ‘The earlier ware is similar i texture, but consistently yellowish or brownish in colour, without the brick-red tint of the later series; both fabrics tend to be fired grey-black on the expoted part of the exterior, and hence ave been lumped together under the terms ‘vasi a patina cenerognola’ and ‘piatti orlo annerito’ (see Lamboglia, Carandini and others).
