Butrint 6 describes the excavations carried out on the Vrina Plain
by the Butrint Foundation from 2002–2007. Lying just to the south
of the ancient port city of Butrint, these excavations have
revealed a 1,300 year long story of a changing community that began
in the 1st century AD, one which not only played its part in
shaping the city of Butrint but also in how the city interacted and
at times reacted to the changing political, economic and cultural
situations occurring across the Mediterranean World over this
period. Volume III discusses the Roman and Late Antique pottery
from the Vrina Plain excavations. This detailed study of the
ceramics follows the archaeological sequence recovered from the
excavations in chronological order and provides a comprehensive and
in depth review of the pottery, context by context, offering an
important insight into the supply, as well as typology, of local
and imported pottery available to the inhabitants of the Vrina
Plain during this period. This is followed by a discussion on how
the pottery trends found on the Vrina Plain relate to that of other
sites in Butrint, both within the town (Triconch Palace; the Forum)
and outside (Vrina Plain training school villa excavations; the
villa of Diaporit). The volume also presents an overview of some of
the principal typological developments found across Butrint so as
to allow the reader to place the Vrina finds in context, including
a discussion of a number of key contexts from the Forum, as well as
the findings from thin-section petrology of some of the ceramics.
