The study of ceramic finds discovered at the site of Vetricella continues following the traditional recording of the material accompanied by more complex analysis.

A number of samples of purified and semi-purified achromous ceramics, attributable to containers employed for storage or tableware, were selected, prepared and sent to Dr. Alessandra Pecci, Investigador Ramon y Cajal, Equip de Recerca Arqueològica i Arqueomètrica at the University of Barcelona (ERAAUB), specialized in the chemical study of ceramics and floor surfaces aimed at understanding food habits and the function of spaces; the samples will undergo gas-chromatography analyses in the laboratoy so as to investigate, where possible, traces of the original organic content of our vessels.

The samples were taken from the artifacts in the measure of about 5 gr per fragment, numbered progressively and wrapped in aluminum foil to isolate them from further contamination. Likewise, also the earthen surfaces of the stratigraphic units from where the finds were recovered was prepared, and will follow the same procedure in order to exclude any post-depositional contamination when compared to the results produced by the analysis of the contents.
