Comparative archaeometric characteristics of ceramic sherds recovered from the excavation site of Roman villa situated on the island of St. Klement (Pakleni otoci, Croatia)

In this abstract, we deliver first preliminary results on the petrographic and mineralogical characteristics of selected archaeological materials from the Soline bay locality, where the Roman villa site is documented and currently subjected to archaeological investigations. Five ceramic sherds of different technological levels have been chosen to represent the most common coarse pottery finds (prehistoric sherd, possible hellenistic tile, dolia fragment, and Roman and Late Roman/Early Byzantine amforae fragments). The petrographic and XRD analyses were done at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering. The samples were subjected to comparative archaeometric analyses, depicting a variety of production techniques.
