Sažetak
The main goal of this study is reconstruction of everyday life during the late phase of the Roman city of Cibalae (today Vinkovci, Slavonia, eastern Croatia), based on analysis of pottery. Cibalae has been inhabited continuously for 8, 000 years and is considered among the oldest towns in Europe. One of the most important archaeological layers dates back to Late Roman period (4th to 6th century AD). We present recent research results with special emphasis on the analysis of pottery combining forensic and archaeological methods. Primary criteria in studying pottery are focused on functional aspects of vessels, together with mineralogical-petrographic and chemical analyses. Analysed were pottery samples believed to be products of a local manufacture. Petrographic analysis included an integrated approach, macroscopic and microscopic examinations. By establishing similarities and differences between objects, we could determine relationships among types of wares, identify characteristics that indicate provenance, and reconstruct technological processes involved in manufacturing (selection and treatment of raw materials, forming techniques, decorative techniques and firing characteristics). Mineralogical phases were confirmed by XRD, EDXRF and Micro Raman spectroscopy. FT- IR spectroscopy was used for the detection of organic coatings, paints and resins in ceramic pots. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used for detection of organic residues in the walls of ceramic pots, such as animal and vegetable fats, milk, etc.
