Origin

Keay (1984) originally suggested a Tunisian origin, but it is now thought to originate in Lusitania (Mayet et alii., 1996: 23). Production is attested only in the Sado valley, where kiln sites are known at Quinta da Alegria, Zambujalinho and Pinheiro.

Distribution

Originally identified by Keay (1984) from two neck fragments from Tarragona, the type was also described by Cardoso (1986) as form 91, not aware of Keay’s work, and Dias Diogo (his form Lusitana 8). It has recently been classified as Sado 1 by Mayet & da Silva (1998).

It has been found at several places in the Roman province of Lusitania.
