Abstract

This paper aims to examine the black glossed pottery from excavations at ‘ex Cossar property’ in Aquileia carried out between 2009 and 2011. Several groups have been identified at a first stage of research, corresponding to different production areas. Most finds were probably produced locally, in workshops located in North-Adriatic. Among the imported products, the most attested one seems to be the Campana B group, while just few fragments can be related to Central Italic and Campanian areas. Formal and typological analysis of diagnostic finds has been carried out at a second stage of research. Open forms are predominant, among which and following a proper North-Italic ‘fashion’ types Lamboglia 5 and 28 are well represented, as well as patera Lamboglia 6. From a chronological point of view, the most ancient forms date back to the beginning of the 2nd century BC, associated probably with the foundation of Colonia Aquileia. At that time, imported black glossed ware is predominant, compared to early local production. The distribution of black glossed pottery reached a peak during the 1st century BC, while some few finds from Augustan times testify the final phase of production. Comparing the results obtained by the study of the finds from the ‘ex Cossar property’ against the regional framework historical, cultural and geographical peculiarities of the North-Adriatic area emerge, outlining this area as an independent reality that presents a proper social, economical and commercial dynamics.
