Date Range

Normally found in contexts of the third and fourth centuries AD, but possibly produced for local use in the Arno valley in the second century AD and still in use during the fifth century (Pasquinucci & Menchelli, 1995; Martin, 1999; Pasquinucci & Menchelli, 2002, Pasquinucci et alii 1998).

Origin

Wasters have been found at Empoli (Manacorda, 1977; 1987; Pasquinucci & Menchelli, 1995; Pasquinucci & Menchelli, 2002, Pasquinucci et alli, 1998), although differences in fabric suggest other production centres in the Arno Valley (Martin, 1999).
