Thin-walled pottery from Augusta Emerita: new typological data from one of its production contexts

Abstract

This article discusses a collection of thin-walled pottery produced in Augusta Emerita, originating from a production context in the present-day city of Mérida (Badajoz, Spain), which was the provincial capital of Lusitania during the Roman period. These ceramics have not received an in-depth typological and chronological study since 1975 when Les céramiques à parois fines dans la Péninsule Ibérique by F. Mayet was published. This article aims to contribute to the review of some of the recurring forms within that publication, as well to introduce new morphologies that have been identified throughout the artefactual analysis of this same context.
