Chi conosce questo bollo in planta pedis

Planta pedis stamp on TS from Tremona
Planta pedis stamp on TS from Tremona-Castello

Durante la scorsa campagna di scavo sul sito multiperiodico di Tremona-Castello (Canton Ticino, Svizzera) sono stati rivenuti frammenti pertinenti a un piatto purtroppo mancante dell’ orlo.

Il contesto di ritrovamento non è finora databile con precisione, ma potrebbe essere posteriore all’ epoca romana. Si tratta molto probabilmente di una produzione padana, di cui non si conserva neppure il rivestimento.

Il bollo risulta di difficile lettura e per esso non mi è stato possibile trovare alcun parallelo.

Lo sottopongo all’ attenzione dei colleghi, sperando che qualcuno possa fornirmi qualche informazione in merito.

Tools used for the production and decoration of roman pottery

Mirna Crnkovic

Dear colleagues,

I was wondering if someone knows and can recommend me bibliography on tools (made in various materials) that are used in the production and decoration of roman pottery which can be found in (and around) pottery workshops. I’m especially interested  in tools that were used in decorating vessels (such as tools for the making of incised decoration, and other).

Thank You in advance for Your replies!

Today I am very happy to announce: The Blog of the RCRF is now online!

That should be the occasion to express my gratitude to all who had contributed to it:

First of all Jonas Hellwig, web-designer and specialist for social media, who, together with his collaborator Michael Ernst, created the blog entirely according to our wishes.

(For informations about his company look at: http://kulturbanause.de).

But just as well I want to thank my colleagues Philip Kenrick, Susanne Zabehlicky-Scheffenegger and Viorica Rusu-Bolindet, who helped me with many good advises, corrections and so on.

Now I wish our Blog many followers and contributors interested in all kinds of Roman pottery and eager to discuss their latest researches or open questions with others.

Dr. Fridolin Reutti
