Le necropoli di Spina e Adria, porti etruschi nel Delta del Po della penisola italiana, rappresentano un incredibile deposito per lo studio di molti materiali in contesto, tra cui una collezione di ceramica a vernice nera di primaria importanza. Lo studio in corso sulla necropoli di Valle Trebba a Spina, diretto dalla cattedra di Etruscologia dell'Università di Bologna, offre l'opportunità di discutere della ceramica a vernice nera prodotta in questo importante porto etrusco sull'Adriatico durante il periodo ellenistico. Vengono delineate innanzitutto le questioni metodologiche e teoriche relative allo sviluppo di uno studio aggiornato di questa classe di ceramica. Dopo un sintetico cenno allo stato degli studi, si affronta la discussione delle caratteristiche tecnologiche della produzione con il supporto delle analisi archeometriche, e dunque l'analisi formale e dei modelli di riferimento. Il contributo si chiude con la valutazione dei valori ideologici e culturali della società spinetica che si possono desumere dallo studio di questa classe vascolare.

Abstract

The necropolises of Spina and Adria, Etruscan ports in the Po Delta of the Italian peninsula, represent an incredible repository for the study of many materials in context, including a collection of black-gloss pottery of primary importance. The current study of the Valle Trebba necropolis in Spina, coordinated by the Chair of Etruscology at the University of Bologna, offers an opportunity to discuss the black-gloss pottery produced in this important Etruscan port on the Adriatic Sea during the Hellenistic period. First, the methodological and theoretical issues related to the development of an up-to-date study of this class of ceramics are outlined. After a brief overview of the state of studies, a discussion of the technological characteristics of production with the support of archaeometric analysis is addressed, followed by analysis of shapes and related models. The contribution concludes with an assessment of the ideological and cultural values of Spinetic society that can be deduced from the study of this class of pottery.
