Fig. 12. Bar graph comparing the quantities of different cooking vessels at each site. Ceramica da fuoco olle are the most numerous at all three sites, followed by ceramica da fuoco bases and lids.

Distribution of cooking wares between the sites compared

From Chapter 4

Diagrams of cooking wares at all three sites

From Chapter 4

Fig. 13. Profile drawings of typical ceramica da fuoco and internal red-slip forms at each site: (1) olle from Musarna, (2) pentole from Musarna, (3) lids from Musarna, (4) internal red-slip tegame from Musarna, (5) internal red-slip pentole from Musarna, (6) olla from Populonia, (7) pentola from Populonia, (8) internal red-slip tegami from Populonia, (9) olle from Cetamura del Chianti, (10) internal red-slip tegami from Cetamura del Chianti

Fig. 14. Four stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of olla rims in periods at Musarna. There are more larger olle in the final period and a wider spread of diameter sizes.

Fig. 15. Interior of rim sherd whose upper half is black with soot while the lower half is clean.

Fig. 20. Whole olle vessel exterior whose body is entirely black with soot with the exception of the lower wall and base.

Fig. 16. Drawing of two olla rims. On the left the rim has an angle of 90 degrees and does not have interior abrasion. On the right, the rim has an angle of 45 degrees and has interior abrasion.

Correlation between rim angle and rim abrasion

From Chapter 4

Fig. 16. Profile drawing illustrating the higher probability of abrasion on the interior rim as the rim angle increases

Fig. 17. Four stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of pentola rims in periods at Musarna. In the final two periods, there are more larger rims and a wider spread of diameter sizes.

Fig. 19. Four stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of bases in periods at Musarna. All the bars cluster in the same area, demonstrating the similar diameters across time

Fig. 21. Photo of the underside of an intact vessel base. Soot covers the vessel exterior except the lower wall and base floor. A clear line is visible on the lower wall of the vessel where the soot begins.

Base of ceramica da fuoco

Fig. 22. Three stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of lids in periods at Musarna. All the bars cluster in the same area, demonstrating the similar diameters across time.

Fig. 23. On the left is the exterior view of the lid where black soot rings the edge of its rim. On the right, we see the interior of the lid and soot is found around it rim and in a patch in the centre.

Fig. 24. Four stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of internal red-slip tegami rims in periods at Musarna. The bars cluster in the same area, demonstrating the similar diameters across time, but have a somewhat bimodal distribution.

Fig. 25. Three stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of internal red-slip bases in periods at Musarna. There are very few bars (thus few examples) and the sizes are broadly distributed.

Fig. 26. Three stacked bar graphs comparing the diameters of internal red-slip pentola rims in periods at Musarna. There are only a few examples until the final period, when there are many.

Fig. 27. On the left is the exterior view of the base of a tegame covered in black soot. Two long patches are much less sooted. On the right, we see the interior of the vessel, and soot is found around its rim but not elsewhere.
