• The anthropological analysis of the skeletal material is carried out by Kristin von Heyking and colleagues of the company AnthroArch GbR, Munich

 

• Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) to clarify the origin of different pottery wares present at Ascoli Satriano was first financed by and carried out together with Richard Posamentir, Tübingen, and then by the FWF project “Local Potter’s reactions” by Erich Kistler (University of Innsbruck). The sampling was accomplished by Kai Riehle (Universities Tübingen/Innsbruck), the analyses were executed by Hans Mommsen, (Helmholtz-Institut für Strahlen- und Kernphysik, Bonn) and Johannes Sterba (Technische Universität, Vienna)
