Description
This chapter discusses imported slip-glazed and plain pottery from Greece. Therefore, after a preliminary study of the wares of a sample of black-slipped and red-slipped sherds, a test of the slip colours by means of refiring had been performed. Moreover, the chapter analyzes the Greek imported non-slipped pottery.
