what's the English for it? "Banded ceramic"?
philgoddard Jun 24, 2014:
Yes Bordered, edged or banded. If you Google it, you'll see that archaeology texts in other languages leave it in Italian. Whether you translate it will depend on the readership.
Rachel Fell Jun 24, 2014:
not the material but... ... prodotti apuli con la creazione di una nuova classe ceramica, la "ceramica listata", che prende il nome dalla decorazione disposta a liste o fasce. http://www.museobiassono.it/Italiano/index.php?page=/italian...

pottery with bands of decoration known as listati

This is the descriptive language that the British Museum uses. I don't think "banded pottery" is enough unless there is so much discussion of examples in the text that it is very clear.
