Etudes sur la céramique romaine tardive d’Afrique

Alteration Processes of Pottery in Lagoon-Like Environments

“…All the samples from Aquileia have a quite uniform yellowish‐red colour at the core, which turns dark grey to greenish grey at the margin (Table 1). The cores of the samples from Olbia show wider chromatic variability from red to yellow, matching literature data on this ceramic type (Bonifay 2004; Pietra 2006). The external altered margins display a range of colours from reddish‐yellow to grey, sometimes occurring in patches, suggesting heterogeneous alteration effects.…”

“…From the second century ad , Italic and Gallic production was supplanted by ARS manufacture. According to morphological features and production areas, Hayes (1972) and Bonifay (2004) distinguished five main groups: A, A/D, C, D and E. The samples examined here belong to ARS types C and D, and were produced in Bizacena (central Tunisia) from 230 ad onwards and in northern Tunisia between the third and seventh centuries ad , respectively (Bonifay 2004).…”

Research Report: The Rock of the Dead: new “Latin” or “Iberian-Guanche” Inscriptions found in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)

“…Smaller Iberian signs 10, 11, 12, and 13 will be studied for translation hypothesis in Finally, Nowak (Nowak, 1994) Arnaiz-Villena 2018a, 2018b); other calendars that have been found in Gran Canaria Island ("CuatroPuertas" and "Ermita de la Virgen"), Telde (Barrios-Garcia 2004; Also, similar inscriptions have been found in Tunisia (Bonifay 2004) and may be found in other parts of Sahara Dessert and even have a common origin with lineal ancient Berber (Hachid 2000;. Thus, Canarian Ibero-Guanche script could be origin of Atlantic and Mediterranean, Europe and Africa incise lineal scripts or the opposite could be true.…”

The Shipwrecks of Xlendi Bay, Gozo, Malta

“…The eighth group is composed of a small number of Late Roman amphoras, namely one example of each of the Keay types XXXVB and XXXII and three of the Keay XXVI type that date to the 4th–5th centuries AD (Keay, : 216, 231, 240, 394; Bonifay, : 125, 135).…”

“…The ninth assemblage is a preliminary one in that it is composed of the three Keay VIIIA rims which have been variously dated to the 5th–early 6th centuries AD or the 7th century AD (Keay, : 129; Bonifay, : 141). An earlier date might put them with the previous group of Late Roman ceramics.…”
