A detailed study of a pottery deposit found during investigations
on the Palatine Hill. This material was used and discarded during
the period c.AD 290-315, at a time when a number of reforms were
underway in light of the early years of the new imperial system and
associated changes in economic organisation. The six campaigns of
excavation, between 1989 and 1994, revealed a substantial quantity
of material which is presented here. A general introduction to the
urban economy of the time is followed by an in-depth analysis of
the ceramic material.
This book examines how Romans used their pottery and the
implications of these practices on the archaeological record. It is
organized around a flow model for the life cycle of Roman pottery
that includes a set of eight distinct practices: manufacture,
distribution, prime use, reuse, maintenance, recycling, discard,
reclamation. J. Theodore Pe??a evaluates how these practices
operated, how they have shaped the archaeological record, and the
implications of these processes on archaeological research through
the examination of a wide array of archaeological, textual,
representational, and comparative ethnographic evidence. The result
is a rich portrayal of the dynamic that shaped the archaeological
record of the ancient Romans that will be of interest to
archaeologists, ceramicists, and students of material culture.
