Late Roman coarse ware and cooking ware from the surveys of the Ancient Appia Landscapes Project (Benevento, Italy)

The paper shows the methodology adopted in pottery studies in the context of a project which aims to the topographic reconstruction of the Via Appia Antica along the stretch between Beneventum and the so-called Appian Bridge on the Calore River, the final goal being the reconstitution of the ancient landscape in this area strongly characterised by Via Appia, in a holist approach to environmental events, population dynamics, settlement patterns and economic activities
