A study of local ceramic production in north-east Catalonia, from the age of Augustus to the end of the 3rd century. Joaquim Tremoleda examines evidence for the location, organisation and operation of the workshops and their products. The first section includes a catalogue of sites and examples of pottery recovered from them, followed by a more detailed study of the workshops, the clays and the main types of artefacts recovered: ordinary pottery, dolia , amphorae and ceramic construction material. From this he finds an important distinction between inland production centres and the workshops found on the coast. English abstract.
