Abstract
Petrography, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis are three tecniques that have been used to study the exchange of prehistoric pottery between North-East Sicily and the Aeolinan Islands. The results show that the neolithic some pottery was imported from the mainland into the Aeolian Islands, although there was a fluorishing local pottery industry. In the Middle Bronze Age Aeolian produced pottery enters into a wider distribution trade network in the Tyrrenian Sea and is particularly evident in Milazzo. In the later stages of Middle/Late Bronze Age the local industry becomes dependent upon external sources for pottery raw materials thus reflecting the increasing importance of external cultures in the archipelago.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
