Abstract

Julie van Kerckhove
The development of ‘vernice nera’-pottery in the Marches
A preliminary analysis of the finds from the Potenza Valley Survey

This article attempts to illustrate the chronological development of ‘vernice nera’-pottery in the Marches (East-Central-Italy), based on published contexts and the material of the Potenza Valley Survey.* The ‘vernice nera’-pottery sheds light on the Romanization of the area as it documents the first Roman occupation of the territory and the subsequent phases of influence. All components that contributed to the pottery-facies of the Romanized ager Gallicus et Picenus will be treated. Particular aspects of the ‘vernice nera’-pottery will be emphasized, such as the evolution of local productions and imports. The phenomenon of regional resemblances, which hinders an understanding of origin, chronology and distribution, will be stressed. In addressing these issues, the article constructs a preliminary framework for the commercial relationship between the Marches and its neighbouring regions.
