Summary: | Red slip pottery or terra sigillata is the most important group of high-quality tableware of the first centuries AD and a source for studying the dynamics of trade relations between the Bosporan Kingdom and the local ceramic production of Roman times. One of the most important tasks in the study of Roman ceramics are issues related to archaeometry. The work presents the results of a study of the two most common groups of red glazed ceramics in Bosporus of the 1st century BC–2nd century AD, i.e., Bosporan and Pontic sigillatas. All fragments come from excavations at the acropolis of Panticapaeum by the expedition of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts under the leadership of V.P. Tolstikov in 1995–2006 (Central-Northern excavation). According to the results of the research, characteristic parameters that distinguish these groups from each other are identified: quantitative characteristics of porosity and inclusions, and the content of trace impurities. |
