The new analysis of data collected during the excavations provides more information on the extension of the two plants and the production and distribution of manufactured goods in the urban context. The figlina located in the area between the civic 8-9, 19 of insula VI 5 was active between the end of the third and the first half of the second century BC, producing opus doliare, amphorae and cumanae testae. The other production was rather active from the begins to the half of the second century. B.C. and it occupied the entire south-eastern part of insula VII 15, in the area between the civic 4-10, producing amphorae and fire ware.

The analysis of the Raman spectra of the surfaces reveals the presence calcium hydroxide (peak at about 780 cm−1) while the calcium carbonate is totally absent. The comparative studies on the carbonation effect of the surfaces were performed on laboratory grown samples of calcium hydroxide. The samples were treated at high temperature and exposed to different ambient conditions, and the analysis suggests that the original surfaces of Roman pottery were scattered by calcium hydroxide (limewash) before the cooking
process in the furnace. The result of this surface treatment not only permits a vitrification of the surfaces but also seems to reduce the content of CO2 in the furnace atmosphere and then obtain a more oxidant ambient during the cooking of the pottery. These results give new insights on the real degree of knowledge of the Romans about the art of ceramics and more generally about chemistry and technologies.
