Location: the Laggeri workshop was located very near to the settlement, attested by the remains of a few buildings and storerooms of "a very active Late Roman port" (Diamanti 2016: 691).
Period of activity: the end of the 6th c. to the end of the 7th or beginning of the 8th c. CE. The workshop produced the Parian Type 1 until the first half of the 7th c. and the Parian Type 2 until the end of the workshop's existence.
Typology: The types produced were variations of the LRA 1 and LRA 2C (LRA13), which are locally called the Parian Type 1 and Type 2 amphoras, respectively. The Parian Type 1 has "a rim diameter of 7-8 cm, a cylindrical neck up to 10 cm in height, not perfectly but often grooved handles, a cylindrical and not so strongly ribbed body of ca. 20 cm diameter at its maximum, and a rounded base" (Diamanti 2023: 286-287). The Parian Type 2 has a "an ovoid body, elongated conical neck up to 9-10 cm in height, a rim with a maximum diameter of 7-8 cm and sometimes hook-shaped interior, and more horizontal and sometimes arched handles that are oval in section and often grooved" (Diamanti 2023: 287-289). This local typology is a key piece of data in understanding the transition from the set of common Roman-Byzantine amphoras--the LRA 1 and 2--to a single type, the 'Byzantine Globular' amphora, in the later Byzantine period.
Number of kilns: 3, two of which are published
Description of facilities: The layout of two of the three kilns is nearly identical: a ca. 7 x 4 m rectangular blueprint with three square piers on each of two opposite walls, which supported arches that held firing chamber floor which laid above.
Local Fabric: "...Brown in colour (7 YR 6/6) and quite fine with several calcareous particles, mica flakes and other inclusions" (Diamanti 2016).
