After forty years since the last research mission, a new one has been undertaken in Selinunte, on the Collina della Gaggera in the Triolo contrada (Sapienza Università di Roma, Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali). The investigation focused on the sanctuary of Hera, near the sanctuary of Malophoros. The excavation was focused on the altar: a monumental rectangular structure (m 8,91 x 2,70), covered by sand until the 1970s. The interior revealed various dumps of imported and locally manufactured materials contextual to the construction of the altar and predating its use. The structure can now be preliminarily dated for stratigraphic reasons to the first third of the 6th century BC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the goods held by sanctuaries in Greece, which can be divided between furnishings and utensils, from the perspective of their production and manufacture. The analysis will be conducted, on the one hand, based on a distinctive thread between furnishings and utensils, and on the other hand on the mate‑ rial in which the goods are made, to understand whether they are local products or imports. In the foreword, a number of considerations are made in relation to the state of studies on industrial districts, workshops, and kilns in Greece and in the orbit of sanctuaries.

This article presents the results of the research carried out in the area of the so-called Insula Volusiana in Rome, from 2016 to 2021. The work involved the study of mobile artefacts, the realization of new reliefs and research in the archives. All of this has allowed for the creation of a proposal for the diachrony of the structures, divided into four successive phases (from the Hadrianic age to the 5th century AD) and a reading of the complex in its various phases of life in relation to the adjacent portus Tiberinus.
