The first excavated examples of medieval and post-medieval imported ceramics, in the 17th and 18th centuries, were often misdated as Roman, or even Phoenician; it was not until the mid-19th century that imported ceramics began to be regularly reported and more correctly identified. The number of finds expanded greatly after World War II. With the vast increase in excavations; research in the 1960s and 1970s attempted to identify their sources. The social and economic aspects of these imports need more study: it is disappointing that progress in the last twenty-five years has, with a few exceptions, been so limited.
