Les dépotoirs de céramiques de Thelepte, note archéométrique complémentaire

We present here the typological and archaeometric characterisation of the pottery workshops of Thelepte, located in Central West Tunisia, next to the Sidi Aïch workshop. The petrographic analysis confirmed the local production of cooking ware, saggars and African Red Slip ware, made with the same raw materials and techniques in one main workshop. It also seems likely that there was a second production of African Red Slip ware, in a workshop/furnace not far from that of the main group, characterized by a slightly different paste from that of the latter.
