Terra sigillata norditalica decorata a matrice intenzionalmente nera: alcune considerazioni
Résumé
Progress in our understanding of the process of manufacture in Aco beakers and Sarius cups is mainly focused on decoration patterns, contextual studies and chronology. The paper attempts a first case study of north Italic moulded pottery that shows a black coating on commonly red artifacts, and tries to distinguish intentional from accidental colouring, as it is present in a large number of fine wares that belong to different Roman pottery classes. Previously all black-coloured fragments pertinent to “normally red” tableware were considered ruined by fire. The question is still open since some of the black wares do not appear damaged but look deliberately fired to obtain a dark surface.
