The study of ceramic finds from the site of Vetricella in Scarlino introduces us to the domestic life and dining table of a royal court between the 9th and 10th century AD. Luisa Russo, PhD student in the nEU-Med project, analysed over 2,000 pottery fragments from the tower and the inner ditch, in order to understand production, use and commerce of coarse, fine and “selezionata” wares in south-western Tuscany.
