In this study Rae Ostman examines and contrasts Etruscan and Roman
ceramic evidence from two distinct periods in Volterra to identify
changes in social complexity. The first period, which covers the
3rd to 1st centuries BC, represents Volterra at its height while
the second (2nd to 6th centuries AD) witnessed the city's first
significant period of decline. The bulk of the study comprises a
catalogue followed by analyses of techniques of pottery production,
including clay and soil types, and a consideration of imported
vessels. A final discussion draws conclusions about Volterra's
relationships with other urban centres and the countryside during
the two periods and considers how economic changes reflected
changes in social complexity.
