Scoppieto's archeological site:
Excavations carried out in Scoppieto (Umbria), in the town council of Baschi,
on the left banks of the Tiber, are bringing to light important structures
related to a settlement belonging to the pre-Roman (from the end of the IV
century BC) and Roman Age (till the beginning of the V century AD). The
excavations are in progress and the most ancient stages are still unknown.
The archaeological research project, begun in 1995 by the University of
Perugia (direction M. Bergamini), has especially studied the layers of the
first Imperial Age. It is now evident that from the middle Augustan reign
the settlement was occupied by a pottery factory devoted mainly to the
production of terra sigillata vessels and lamps; a great amount of material
has been given back, which denotes an intense productive activity. Production of “terracotta” lamps was very important, with its great
variety of ornamental themes and also of terra sigillata vessels, mainly plain,
but also decorated with reliefs and appliques. The presence of the craftsmen’s
trademarks allows us to understand their diffusion which, thanks
to the use of the fluvial transport, involved many places located near the
course of the Tiber and, above all, Rome and the main centres located on
the Mediterranean coast.
