The paper presents some preliminary results of the archaeometric study of the pottery of Roman villa of Aiano-Torraccia di Chiusi, in the central Valdelsa (Siena). The analysis treats the coarsewares and red-slipped pottery, found during the first three excavation campaigns, in order to increase our knowledge of these ceramics, the site they come from and the surrounding area. The study began with a morphological study from which a typology was constructed, and then moved on to a statistical and distributional analysis. The archaeometric investigations addressed the issue of the manufacturing technique and their provenance; these were centered on minero-petrographic characterization of the fabrics and of the composition of the slip The data allows us to propose some preliminary considerations – and proposals for a new specific archaeometric study – and suggest relationships with different sides in the relations with manufacturing of different surrounding area.
