From 1996From -2006, excavators of the Mugello Valley Archaeological Project documented two important contexts for understanding Hellenistic period ceramic production at Podere Funghi near the sanctuary at Poggio Colla: a kiln-waster midden, and a series of kilns located in the vicinity of a small residential structure. This article consists of the results of a visual and metric examination of the fineware material from the midden. The examination assessed the nature and prevalence of specific firing flaws associated with the productive process, and the data derived from this study are used to reconstruct some of the technical challenges faced by the Podere Funghi potters and their firing equipment. The study documents a high prevalence of flaws associated with a rapid rise in temperature within the kiln at the beginning of firing process, while cataloguing few flaws associated with excessive sustained temperatures. This combination of flaws suggests poor pre-production drying of the wares, or the use of a fuel source that would have produced an initial high heat spike in temperature. In addition, it tells us much about craft production at satellite communities associated with large settlements, in this case, Poggio Colla.

“…Prior to our study a workshop and set of kilns had been excavated at the Podere Funghi, and an adjacent dump and surface scatters suggested additional occupation and ceramic producing activities elsewhere in the field (Warden 2007;Fedeli and Warden 2006;Warden et al 2005;Warden and Thomas 2003;Gleba 2003).

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to present in these Proceedings volume the 95 papers that were accepted for publication, among the 125 submitted, following peer review. The Symposium was held in Italy for the first time and the participants were more than 500, coming from all over the world. This huge participation demonstrates that archaeometric research is increasing, not only in quantity, but in quality as well.The international team of convenors accepted 533 abstracts, which were compiled by approximately 1,400 authors. Eighty-one abstracts were selected for an oral presentation. The remaining 452 were posters, which was actually the highlight of the Symposium. The posters generated much discussion and allowed for more direct contact between authors and participants.I would like to recognize the outstanding contributions of Elisabetta Gliozzo. She completed the painstaking work of editing the Abstract volume and coordinated the distribution and re-distribution of abstracts amongst the session convenors and authors.ix In closing, let me remember and thank Riccardo Francovich, who passed away unexpectedly 2 years ago. Riccardo was a strong supporter of this conference, and he worked tirelessly and with enthusiasm to bring it about. If he were here today, he would certainly be pleased with what we have accomplished.
