Much of what is known about Malta’s ancient material culture has
come to light as a result of antiquarian research or early
archaeological work—a time where little attention was paid to
stratigraphic context. This situation has in part contributed to
the problem of reliably sourcing and dating Maltese Roman-period
pottery, particularly locally produced forms common on nearly all
ancient Maltese sites. This book presents a comprehensive
study of Maltese pottery forms from key stratified deposits
spanning the first century BC to mid-fourth century AD. Ceramic
material from three Maltese sites was analysed and quantified in a
bid to understand Maltese pottery production during the Roman
period, and trace the type and volume of ceramic-borne goods that
were circulating the central Mediterranean during the period. A
short review of the islands’ recent literature on Roman pottery
is discussed, followed by a detailed contextual summary of the
archaeological contexts presented in this study. The work is
supplemented by a detailed illustrated catalogue of all the forms
identified within the assemblages, presenting the wide range of
locally produced and imported pottery types typical of the Maltese
Roman period.
