Abstract:
In the Emilian Po plain, during the Late Iron Age (4 th and 3 rd century BCE), an unprecedented and heteroge‑
neous class of handmade coarse and decorated ceramics emerged in certain sites. In comparison to other
Transpadane regions, its presence is not dominant or statistically significant, except for a few sites that
are characterised by more evident La Tène imports and burial customs. This pottery gradually disappeared
during the Roman conquest (late 3rd
–2nd century BCE), except in some rural areas and in the westernmost
colonies. The aim of this paper is to outline the key features of this distinctive and challenging pottery and
to explore functional and potential social and cultural interpretations, while also considering cross‑cultural
comparisons.
