Pottery Summary
A fairly large amount of pottery was recovered from T100 in the 2022 season. The majority of pottery fragments were non-diagnostic body sherds (over 86%), though Loci 1 (OC2/Workshop collapse), 10 (Archaic fill), and 11 (Orientalizing fill in cut) produced a considerable number of rims (85) and bases (21). Handles (9) were also recovered from Loci 1, 6 (equal to Locus 11), 10, and 11 and two tondos were recovered from Locus 1.
Impasto was the most common fabric type by a large margin in all Loci except Locus 7, the surface deposit above an Archaic stone linear feature, where coarse ware predominated by 19%. Bucchero, while accounting for only 3.44% of the pottery in T100, was recovered in Loci 1, 2, 8 (Archaic stone linear feature), 9 (equal to Locus 7), 10, and 11.
Loci 1, 10, and 11 yielded the most pottery sherds with Locus 1 predominating at 36% of the pottery recovered from the trench overall. It is important to note; however, that Loci 6 and 11, which are the same deposit but recorded separately due to the extension of the trench, yielded 22.04% of the pottery. These Loci were not completely excavated due to time constraints while Locus 1 was completely removed.
Loci 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10 had comparatively negligible pottery amounts while Locus 5, an almost entirely sterile layer with only two bone artifacts, yielded no pottery. Locus 3, a layer of plaster surface and tile collapse also yielded no pottery, as did Locus 4 (unexcavated) and Locus 12 (augmented bedrock).
Locus 1 had the most catalogued ceramics with 3: an impasto strap handle fragment (PC20220008), a slipped cover tile fragment with a siglum (PC20220045), and an incised fine impasto body sherd (PC20220010). A fine ware oinochoe spout fragment (PC20220017) was recovered in Locus 2 and a terra cotta forno fragment (PC20220046) was recovered in Locus 7. A rocchetto (PC 20220027) was recovered in three joining fragments, one from Locus 2 and two from Locus 6 just below. Finally, an incised bucchero body sherd (PC20220087) was recovered in two joining fragments in Locus 11 as well as an amphora base in 4 joined fragments (PC20220089).
