Abstract
The paper presents a preliminary typology of coarse cooking ware from the Roman/late antique layers of the rural settlement at Podšilo bay on the island of Rab. The vessels have been associated with several basic shapes and divided by types, while fabrics have been described macroscopically. Analogies and a contextual analysis were used to propose dating and to assess provenience for well-known ware classes or to define areas of circulation for those with a more regional distribution. By analyzing the distribution within the settlement, we propose a tentative conclusion on their use within the latest phase of frequentation, and an attempt at understanding the culinary practices and household use of the ware.
This paper stems from the activities carried out within the framework of the grant from the Polish National Science Center (Narodowe Centrum Nauki - NCN): “The fall, crisis or transformation? Correlation of the late antique settlement pattern changes with environment and climate fluctuations in the north-eastern Adriatic region based on results of geoarchaeological and palaeoclimatic research”, ID: 478202, NO. 2020/37/B/HS3/02458.
