The present article provides chemical, paleontological and mineralogical data obtained during an archaeometric charac- terization of 40 samples (33 pottery sherds, 5 clay samples, 1 sand sample and 1 red earth pigment) collected in the Via dei Sepolcri ceramic workshop in Pompeii, Italy. The work- shop was still active during the 79 CE eruption of Mt. Vesu- vius and the archaeometric data obtained in our investigation reveal distinct differences between pottery and geological raw materials belonging to an early ’Phase 1 production (from the beginning of the 1st century CE to the 62 CE earthquake) and a subsequent ’Phase 2 production (from the 62 CE earthquake to the 79 CE eruption). These data inform the discussions and interpretations presented in the article entitled “A pottery workshop in Pompeii un- veils new insights on the Roman ceramics crafting tradition and raw materials trade”.

Abstract
The present article provides chemical, paleontological and mineralogical data obtained during an archaeometric charac- terization of 40 samples (33 pottery sherds, 5 clay samples, 1 sand sample and 1 red earth pigment) collected in the Via dei Sepolcri ceramic workshop in Pompeii, Italy. The work- shop was still active during the 79 CE eruption of Mt. Vesu- vius and the archaeometric data obtained in our investigation reveal distinct differences between pottery and geological raw materials belonging to an early ’Phase 1 production (from the beginning of the 1st century CE to the 62 CE earthquake) and a subsequent ’Phase 2 production (from the 62 CE earthquake to the 79 CE eruption). These data inform the discussions and interpretations presented in the article entitled “A pottery workshop in Pompeii un- veils new insights on the Roman ceramics crafting tradition and raw materials trade”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
