Roman pottery excavated from the remains of a villa rustica near Mosnje (Slovenia) was analyzed in terms ofits mineralogical and basic geochemical characteristics, to elucidate the technologies of manufacture. Selectedsamples were examined with optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, SEM-EDS and ICP-OES. Resultsshow that the studied pottery samples can be divided into two main groups based on the nature and size ofgrains; calcite-tempered pottery and pottery containing predominant fine quartz grains. This mineralogicaldistinction also reflects differences in production technology.
