description The city of Pompeii, buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, has yielded a wealth of information about Roman society at the end of the first century AD: Living conditions, social structures, the economy, agriculture and artisanal activity etc. However, ceramic production, although very abundant, remains paradoxically little known because the finds were made in old times. Ceramic objects, because of their inorganic material (clay), were not broken down for reuse and were rarely recycled, meaning they make up the majority of finds during archaeological excavations. These objects, which took a variety of forms, were used for all sorts of purposes: Crockery for preparing, cooking, serving and consuming liquids and solids, transport vessels (amphorae), religious vessels, instruments and building materials (tiles, bricks, pipes). In addition to the products themselves, there is a wide range of evidence of pottery activity: Frescoes depicting craftsmen at work, graffiti, stamps, production structures (workshops with kilns).The research carried out between 2012 and 2018 focused on the renewed excavation of two workshops in operation on the day of the eruption of Vesuvius: One at Porta Ercolano and the other at Porta Nocera. This book presents the results of this field research, putting them into the context of the ancient city. The data collected makes it possible to reconstruct the ceramic production in Pompeii, from the extraction of raw materials to the distribution of products, and to establish a typology for the production of vases and lamps in the two workshops.
