This article examines the role of quality control during the manufacturing process of Roman pottery. The criteria used by ancient potters to determine whether a finished vessel was suitable for sale and use or instead should be discarded as a waster has seen limited attention. Additional focus on this topic provides a means of studying behaviors associated with ancient pottery production and decision-making behind different steps of the process. Of particular interest for addressing the topic is a locally manufactured amphora recovered at the site of Sikyon, Greece, from a late fourth- to early fifth-century CE destruction deposit. This amphora was recovered from a use context but has several evident production defects and an X-shaped graffito incised on one of the handles, and it may have been designated as a second in antiquity. Along with a detailed analysis of the amphora, the discussion examines available archaeological, epigraphic, and paleographic evidence for quality control in Roman pottery production and attempts to shed additional light on potential ancient practices of designating vessels as seconds.1
本文探讨了质量控制在罗马陶器制造过程中的作用。古代陶工在决定一件成品器皿是适合销售和使用，还是应该作为废品丢弃时所使用的标准，受到的关注很有限。对这一主题的更多关注为研究与古代陶器生产相关的行为以及该过程不同步骤背后的决策提供了一种手段。希腊锡基永遗址从公元四世纪末至五世纪初的破坏性沉积物中发掘出的一个当地制造的双耳陶罐对研究该主题具有特别意义。这个双耳瓶是从使用环境中发掘出来的，但有几个明显的生产缺陷，其中一个手柄上还刻有 X 形涂鸦，因此在古代可能被指定为次品。在对该双耳陶罐进行详细分析的同时，讨论还研究了罗马陶器生产质量控制方面现有的考古、书信和古文字学证据，并试图进一步揭示古代将器皿指定为次品的潜在做法。

The assemblage of artifacts from the Late Helladic IIIC Mycenaean cemetery at Perati includes a considerable quantity of figure-decorated pottery and figural representations in other media, including figurines and seals. Advances in scholarship since these artifacts were discovered and published encourage a reconsideration of their meaning and significance. This study reviews the corpus of figural art from Perati and considers its potential significance for interpreting several aspects of Bronze Age society following the palatial collapse in the central and eastern Aegean regions. Discussion begins with a brief background on the site of Perati and a review of relevant scholarship regarding art and society in the Postpalatial period. It then turns to description of the figural art from Perati and places this material in its contemporary regional and cultural context, emphasizing comparisons and connections with the nearby sites of Lefkandi (Euboea) and Grotta (Naxos). Finally, the article reflects on these discussions to generate new conclusions about the likely mixed nature of all three communities, the logic underpinning their iconographical choices, and the origin of ideas driving some social change in the postpalatial Aegean.1
