• Resumen

  • This article reports on the ceramics recovered at a Late Bronze Age site with evidence for salt production in Latium Vetus. This site, P13, on the coast between present-day Nettuno and Torre Astura in South Lazio (Italy), was excavated during two campaigns in 2001 and 2002 by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology. The focus of this article is a classification and catalogue of the ceramics found at the saltern. Approximately 45,000 sherds were recovered from a relatively small area. One trench contained about 10,500 sherds in 1.5 m3 of soil. A selection of the most significant ceramics is presented in detail including a report on the main fabric groups.
