The city of Patras and the relation with two other great cities colonized by Augustus, Nikopoli & Butrint: an archaeometrical approach and study of local and regional ceramic production and distribution

Rebecca Ammerman, an archaeologist, collaborates with Ioannis Iliopoulos, a geologist, at the University of Patras in Greece, to study a large and diverse set of ceramics that were recovered by excavations on the coast of southern Italy, in the territory of Metaponto, a Greek colony founded in the 7th c. BCE. Using innovative scientific approaches to ceramic analysis, the two aim to understand the exploitation of natural resources, ceramic technology, industrial organization, and the exchange and circulation of a wide range of ceramic objects, including statuettes that were commonly dedicated as votive offerings.
