Ceramic Inventory

  • 1250 AD - 1350 AD
  • 2 laterizi romani stondati riusati. Il contesto sembra essere di pieno XIII secolo ma alcune acrome da fuoco abbassano la datazione al secolo successivo. Mancano del tutto ceramiche invetriate da fuoco e maioliche arcaiche di fine XIII-XIV, mentre ben rappresentate sono le invetriate locali, che saranno poi soppiantate quasi del tutto da maioliche arcaiche nel secolo successivo. Sembra quindi una fase in cui convivono produzioni di maiolica arcaica / ceramica laziale e invetriate locali, queste ultime però sono la netta maggioranza delle ceramiche rivestite. Difficilmente può essere più tardo della metà del XIV secolo.
