materiale proveniente da ricognizione (ceramica)

On the low, sun-baked slopes near Santu Teru, Senorbì, a scatter of ancient fragments tells a quiet story. Gathered in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Antonio Maria Costa, this surface collection of broken pottery is now kept at the Museo Civico Sa Domu Nosta. The pieces are small, worn, and unassuming, yet they speak of connections that spanned the Mediterranean world.

Among the sherds are fragments of Attic black-glaze vessels and red-figure ware, fine tableware imported from Greece, prized by Romans for its elegance and durability. There is also Italic black-glaze pottery, a local imitation that followed Greek styles, and a fragment of a Corinthian kotyle, a two-handled drinking cup. This mix is typical of Roman-period sites in Italy: imported goods alongside local productions, reflecting trade routes and shifting tastes. The scatter suggests a settlement, modest but not isolated, where people ate, drank, and lived among objects that had travelled far.
