Late Antique and Early Medieval pottery from Palazzo Mazzola (Asti, Italy)

The archaeological excavation in Palazzo Mazzola in Asti, Italy, unveils a stratigraphic sequence from Roman era to the early Middle Ages. A Roman domus, constructed around the 1st century AD near a cobbled street, undergoes structural changes during late antiquity. In the early Middle Ages, new buildings settle atop previous layers. The pottery, spanning from the Roman Empire to the post-medieval era, provides socio-economic insights into Asti between the end of the Roman Empire and the establishment of the Lombard Duchy.
