Los Cirojos landfill in the Tritium Magallum pottery complex (Tricio, La Rioja)

Abstract

The potter complex of Tritium Magallum was one of the most important peninsular centers for the elaboration of Hispanic terra sigillata in Roman times along with Andújar. In this work we carry out the study of a landfill located in a peri-urban area of the northwest of the Tritian urban nucleus. The landfill has provided levels with high-imperial materials, the evidence is very scarce. This site has also provided molds for the development of Hispanic terra sigillata, templates, oven accessories, pottery workshop reels, adjusters, thermometric pyramid and a metal instrument potter, a stiletto. The landfill has provided a large number of decorated Hispanic terra sigillata fragments, these are past cooking pieces, with the altered varnish, which have colorations that vary from ocher to brown and gray / black. In the present study we analyze the different types of stamps on Hispanic terra sigillata that the landfill has provided.
