Gunneweg, Jan and Balla, Marta, 2000, A neutron activation analysis study on some Eastern Terra Sigillata, in the Volume of the Caesarea hippodrome publication (S. Porat, ed.), Jerusalem, 19 pages (accepted for publication) In this study we have used the data that were obtained in the Nuclear Reactor of the Technical University of Budapest, Hungary. ETS-II, a brown/red coated sigillata was found in large quantities in Caesarea Maritima in Israel, a site that has been the transito-harbor during the Roman period. The chemical compositions of this ETS-II ware proves that at least five new forms have to be added to the ETS-II repertory. The origin of the vessels is still an enigma: we were not able to trace it to a specific site. However, Israel has to be excluded. The ware comes from overseas. Comments?
