Ánforas, dolios y cerámica de la Bottega del garum (I 12, 8) de Pompeya: reflexiones funcionales y socio-económicas

Between 2008 and 2012 Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the University of Cadiz carried on a joint projet aimed at analyzing the exploitment of fish resources in the Vesuvian area. The paper deals with the study of the so-called Bottega del garum (I 12, 8) and in particular with the analysis of all the amphoras in the yard, that were ready to be reused. The archaeozoological study of the remains in the amphoras permitted to identify the species of fish used for the sauces while the analysis of the graffiti in a ceramic vessel from the Bottega led to the hyphothesis that the shop could belong to the Popidii.
