C. Gualandi (Universà degli Studi di Pisa), C. Mascione (Universà degli Studi di Siena) and D. Manacorda (Universà degli Studi di Roma). C. Gualandi (Università degli Studi di Pisa), C. Mascione (Università degli Studi di Siena) and D. Manacorda (Università degli Studi Roma Tre). The aim of the project was to gain a deeper understanding of the upper part of the city, which had been identified as the acropolis of the Roman city by the remains of a Hellenistic sanctuary discovered in the 1980s by A. Romualdi. Following fruitful excavation campaigns, the results of which have been published annually between 2002 and 2011 in the first ten volumes of the 'Materiali per Populonia' collection, research has made it possible to reconstruct the history of this sector of the city, whose development dates back to a period after the inclusion of the Etruscan town of Popluna in the Roman sphere of influence, at the beginning of the third century BC. This article presents the results of the archaeological excavations carried out on the acropolis of Populonia in 2010, inside one of the three temples known to date, temple 'B'. The excavations brought to light a combustion device which, based on comparisons with similar structures discovered over the last few decades throughout the Mediterranean, has been interpreted as a lime kiln. According to the results of laboratory analyses (thermoluminescence), this kiln was active between the 10th and 12th centuries, when the temples on the acropolis were systematically stripped of their linings and replaced elsewhere.

It occupies the whole surface area of a maritime mull between the bays of Červar Porat in the South and Santa Marina in the North. Since 1994, the excavations led by an international team have unearthed the economic cluster of the domain, with the discovery of a large artisanal complex mainly dedicated to the production of oil amphorae Dressel 6B. By its dimensions and the volume of the production, it constitutes one of the largest workshops in the North of the Adriatic: it reflects the booming of speculative oil culture, mainly intended for export towards Northern Italy and the Danubian limes. Thanks to the stamps on the amphorae, we know the first proprietors of the figlina of Loron: Sisenna Statilius Taurus –cos 16 AD, son of the great Statilius, a friend of Augustus-, then other members of the senatorial elite as Messalina and Calvia Crispinilla. As of 91 AD, Loron goes into the hand of the emperors, attested from Domitius to Hadrian. The archaeological data show that the workshop operates up to the beginning of the 4th before a long phase of abandon and of destruction of the edifices, completed around the end of the 5th century AD.
The artisanal complex is a large planified building, implanted ex nihilo on the sea front (171m in length) on the south coast of the mull. It is divided into two modules by a ramp sloping to the sea. The amphora workshop is installed in the Eastern module. It is characterised by the functionality of the production spaces, with its kilns and warehouses, organised around a vast central courtyard. The water supply, necessary to clay treatment and ceramics production, is ensured by a large reservoir installed in the courtyard’s Northwest corner : it provides water to a little fountain situated on its southern wall, from which remains the well conserved basin. The presence of this atypical structure will be discussed to clarify its function inside the workshop and the particularities of its architecture. It will be also compared to another big cistern recently discovered on the Northern shore of the mull, inside a large residential area interpreted as the aristocratic villa of the owners.
