Résumé En

This article concerns aspects of residuality as encountered in the analyses of the pottery assemblage from the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma/ American Academy in Rome excavations on the northeast slope of the Palatine Hill in Rome. In order to permit the analysis of short-termed shifts in the consumption of craft goods and foodstuffs a rigorous definition of residuality has been adopted, with any sherd originally discarded prior to the beginning of the formation of the context in which it was recovered regarded as residual. This definition is operationalized by assigning sherds to one of four categories : in phase, indeterminable, residual, and unknown. The application of this approach is illustrated through the analysis of a ca. 510 kg deposit of materials recovered in the excavations that was deposited during the period AD 300-325.
