This work is divided into two sections. The first re-examines a discovery made in Civita
Casteliana, loc. Scasato, published for the first time by A. Pasqui in Notizie degli Scavi
1903. Some structures and materials connected with a workshop, in which was attested the
production of pottery, were found during the construction
of
some storehouses. Pasqui
suggested that the atelier produced especially black-glazed pottery, but our re-examination
of
the materials allows us to assert that the workshop also produced bucchero. Particularly
interesting is the topographical proximity to the so-called Tempio dello Scasato, from which
we might infer the presence
of
some kind
of
link between the workshop and the temple.
The second contribution concerns the Museo Falisco, a local museum, created in Civita
Castellana during the last decades
of
the 20th century. Particularly interesting are the detailed
accounts
of
the objects, here published in the Appendix, that confirm that the Museo Falisco
contains remains
of
at least two interesting contexts: the first can be identified with a shrine,
found near loc. Vignale in 1885; the second is the group
of
inscriptions from the tomb found
along the Rio Purgatorio and published for the first time by G.F. Gamurrini in Notizie degli
Scavi 1883.
