Initial Provenance:
Pleiades

Details:

The archaeological site was subjected to intensive field-walking and shows occupation from the Late Iron Age to the middle Imperial period. Imported ceramics were found together with local products produced according to earlier material culture traditions. This has led some scholars to acknowledge an “incomplete” Romanization process.
