From the kitchen to the table: southern Illyrian pottery production in the Adriatico-Ionian commerce (1st–3rd century AD)

Abstract

The study on the pottery discovered recently at the southern Illyrian sites, has given new informations on the local production
of several categories, like cooking ware, fine ware, table ware, relief decorated bowls and others. The purpose of
this presentation will be to take into account all of them and try to understand their position within the large economic
relationship in the Adriatico-Ionian region. Knowing that several local products from this region have been exported to the
four directions, it will be interesting to understand why and how different categories of production have ben accepted and
preferred within Illyrian and non-Illyrian communities.
