Abstract
This contribution gives an overview on productive activities in the town of Elea/Velia (Lucania, Southern Italy) and its territory. After a summary of our previous knowledge of kilns and other indicators for pottery production within the town follows a short description of the kiln in Contr. Vasalìa in the valley of Fiumarella, excavated in 1927, but re-examined few years ago by a group of young archaeologists. Subsequently we present the first results of the new project of the University of Vienna in the Eastern quarter of the town. Here at least 15 kilns, for which a production of pottery and bricks can be assumed with high probability, have been detected by geo-magnetic prospection in 2015. Most surprising however was the discovery of a large amount of iron slag over all the area which indicated the production of iron at Velia. During the excavations of 2015 and 2016 we explored two kilns of the Late Republican period, which were badly preserved, but for which the production and working of iron was proven by a high quantity of slag as well.
