Sagalassos Red Slip Ware (SRSW)
Turkey/Southwest
1st - 7th centuries CE
Early Roman II, Middle Roman, Late Roman, Early Byzantine
General Information
The production of SRSW began in the Augustan period, possibly in tandem with the expansion of the city, when the production of ceramics moved from its Hellenistic-period location near the city center towards the newly installed potter's quarter on its eastern and northern slopes.
Archaeometric studies indicate that the clay for the fabric of SRSW was mostly obtained from a source northwest of the village of Çanaklı, whereas the clay for the slip was obtained from ophiolitic clays in the city's potter's quarter, although Lake Burdur and an unknown source are also attested.
