Document Details : Title: Nuovi dati dalla necropoli di Fornaci di Capua Subtitle: Continuità e innovazione nelle sepolture di epoca orientalizzante Author(s): MATURO, Mattia Journal: BABESCH Volume: 99 Date: 2024 Pages: 1-16 DOI: 10.2143/BAB.99.0.3293136 Abstract : The paper aims to shed further light on the Orientalising period in Capua through the analysis of two relevant unpublished funerary contexts (947 and 975 Tombs) stored in the Archaeological Museum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere. These contexts have been recorded and analysed as part of the review of the materials from the excavations of the Fornaci necropolis carried out by W. Johannowsky between the 1950s and 1970s. The contribution analyses the stratigraphic context and the grave goods of the two tombs, allowing us to reconstruct and update the interpretation of the Sector Q of the necropolis as a whole. It offers both an overview of the traditional and innovative aspects of the elements of Orientalising material culture documented in Capua and those of continuity and discontinuity in the Fornaci funerary complex. Furthermore, the article offers the preliminary archaeometric results of the Tomb 947 bucchero vessels. |
