The collection of all published (and partly unpublished) data on ceramic production sites in central-southern Italy is a work in progress.
So far information has been collected relating to Etruria, Lazio, Campania and Sicily (see map beside).
The volume in course of preparation consists of a series of records including the geographical location of the site, information on possible structures, drawings of the main pottery types produced and bibliographic references.
The organization of such vast quantity of data allows new reflections on ceramic production in the classical age, the circulation of ceramics and victuals, the level of technological knowledge in different areas.
