Roman furnaces in Alcamo, Archaeological site with Roman furnaces in Alcamo Marina, Italy.
The excavation area contains three circular furnaces arranged along a north-south axis, with each structure measuring approximately two meters in diameter.
The industrial complex operated between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD, producing tiles and ceramics for distribution through the nearby port of Castellammare del Golfo.
The discovery of tiles bearing the Maesi family stamp from the 4th century AD indicates the presence of influential Roman entrepreneurs in ancient Sicily.
The archaeological site spans 2500 square meters at kilometer 43.8 of Provincial Road 187, near the San Bartolomeo river in the Magazzinazzi district.
Each furnace required eight workers to operate, suggesting a settlement of 90 families lived near the production facility during the Roman period.
