Approach to the study of ceramic material from the workshop of Sextus Metilius Maximus (Crikvenica - Igralište, Croatia)

During research on the site of the Crikvenica- Igraliste (Ad turres, Croazia) pottery workshop, owned by Sextus Metilius Maximus, 30 tons of ceramic material were found. Mostly came from process waste from the workshop that produced building materials, amphoras, loom weights and various types of pottery. The discovery of this important workshop stimulated the working of the Museum of Crikvenica, highlighting the necessity of using different approaches in treating materials from both the scientific and museological points of view. Immediately during the research a rapid classification of materials was necessary which, at work completed, would facilitate the development of product typology, whilst the request of museum presentation brought about new problems. On this occasion we would highlight the approach needed to working the material and how the typology was created. The typology helped to determine the distribution of workshop products
