Abstracts

EN

The proposed study presents some ceramics from the area of the Roman amphitheatre in Milan, mostly from US 298 (excavation 2020), a pit filled exclusively with La Tène pottery dating from between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. The ollae, in particular, are abundant and complete, whereas in other sites in the Insubri region they are only known from a few fragments. Their abundance makes it possible to understand that this type of vase was produced in different sizes, probably to contain solid food of different types. Some bowls and lids, as well as a jug, imitate fine ware shapes. The coarse pottery is itself of good quality, wheel made and fired at a low temperature. It is probably the continuation of a local, Golasecca culture, production.
