In the summer of 1983, during the works for the construction of the Fano-Grosseto highway, an artisanal area of the Roman age was intercepted at Canavaccio di Urbino in the locality of Ca’ Betto, comprising a building divided into at least six rooms preserved in the foundation and the combustion chambers of five kilns used for the production of bricks and ceramics. The production site was probably part of a rustic villa whose lands were distributed on the left bank of the Metauro river near the diverticulum of the Via Flaminia that led to Urvinum Mataurense (Urbino). The production waste from the kilns testifies to a diversified production, above all that of flat-bottomed amphorae stamped with MAE and that of thin-walled ceramics. The chronology of the site can be dated between the mid-1st and mid-2nd centuries AD.

Abstract
In the summer of 1983, during the works for the construction of the Fano-Grosseto highway, an artisanal area of the Roman age was intercepted at Canavaccio di Urbino in the locality of Ca’ Betto, comprising a building divided into at least six rooms preserved in the foundation and the combustion chambers of five kilns used for the production of bricks and ceramics. The production site was probably part of a rustic villa whose lands were distributed on the left bank of the Metauro river near the diverticulum of the Via Flaminia that led to Urvinum Mataurense (Urbino). The production waste from the kilns testifies to a diversified production, above all that of flat-bottomed amphorae stamped with MAE and that of thin-walled ceramics. The chronology of the site can be dated between the mid-1st and mid-2nd centuries AD.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
