ABSTRACT This paper presents the petrographic analysis of cooking vessels (ollae) from the Pontine region, Central Italy, dated between the 4th and the 1st centuries BC. Cooking vessels of three surveys in different parts of the Pontine Plain and around Norba, in the Lepine foothills, are considered. The considered time-span covers the period in which the Pontine region became integrated in the Roman state until the end of the Republic, and cooking vessels have much to tell us about the region's integration in production and distribution systems, and whether changes occurred therein. The petrographic study shows that the cooking pots were produced and distributed at regional and supra-regional scales. The production and distribution systems that are tentatively inferred show aspects of continuity and change during the time-span considered. Roman cooking vessels that circulated in the Pontine region between the 4th and the 3rd centuries BC had a supra-regional and regional provenance. During the 2nd and the 1st centuries BC, the region continued to have access to these products, as well as to other ones that were produced within and outside the region. Furthermore, the distribution of supra-regional products increased, whereas the importance of existing regional centres decreased in favour of others.

罗马炊具（ollae）：对意大利中部Pontine地区的材料的初步研究

摘要本文介绍了意大利中部庞廷地区的炊具（ollae）的岩石学分析，其年代可追溯至公元前4世纪至1世纪。考虑了在蓬廷平原不同地区以及在勒本山麓的诺巴周围的三个调查的烹饪容器。所考虑的时间跨度涵盖了蓬廷地区在罗马州整合到共和国共和国之前的时期，而烹饪船只可以向我们讲述该地区在生产和分销系统中的整合以及该地区是否发生了变化。岩石学研究表明，炊具是按区域和超区域规模生产和分配的。临时推断的生产和分销系统在所考虑的时间跨度内显示了连续性和变化的方面。在公元前4世纪至3世纪之间在Pontine地区流通的罗马炊具具有超区域和区域起源。在公元前2世纪和1世纪期间，该地区继续可以使用这些产品以及该地区内外生产的其他产品。此外，超区域产品的分布增加了，而现有区域中心的重要性下降了，而其他区域中心却受到青睐。
