Schematic examples of (j) high cooking-ware manufacture (high concentration of tempers, absence of vitrification and polymodal pore size distribution) and (k) poor cooking-ware manufacture (low concentration of tempers, vitrified matrix and unimodal pore size distribution) on the basis of petrographic features, vitrification degree and pore size distribution.

In this work, a provenance and technological investigation on cooking-ware potteries from the ancient Greek -Roman town of Akrai (Palazzolo Acreide, Syracuse, Sicily) has proposed. A multi-methodological approach have been used to study the manufacture quality of analysed materials; in detail, petrographic, mineralogical, spectroscopic, chemical, porosimetric and micro-morphological analyses have been applied. The study provides fundamental contribute in archeological issues related to circulation in Sicily of cookingware productions during Late Roman Age; in fact, the obtained results allow to recognize in the site the presence of different well-known cooking-ware Roman productions, highlighting interesting questions about the technological and manufacture properties of this class of materials.

... In the case of coarse-grained ceramics, characterized by the occurrence of tempers usually consisting in polycrystalline rock fragments, the thin section analysis can offer quite relevant effort in provenance studies; in fact, the presence of mineral assemblages typical of a geographic and geologic context represents a quite certain signature for correct attribution. This is the case, for examples, of Sicilian productions exhibiting metamorphic rocks fragments as tempers, for which a Peloritane area production can be suggested [1], or the wellknown Pantelleria ware, in which the occurrence of sanidine, pyroxene and aenigmatite are typical of volcanic local rocks [2][3]. Coupled petrographic and chemical study can address more and more information on provenance, as in the case of mineral chemistry of volcanic pyroxenes, able to discriminate pottery produced by using materials from different volcanic Italian provinces [2] see also the website https://sites.google.com/ ...
