Abstract The study of trading networks in Central Tyrrhenian Italy during the Archaic period usually revolves around luxury items, such as wine, oil, unguents and perfumes. These luxury items are considered to follow the same trading routes as amphorae and decorated fine wares. However, these artefacts are not the only surviving fragments of ancient trade networks: everyday household wares often circulated along the same geographical routes, and the wide diffusion of Coarse Cream Ware (hereafter CCW) provides an exemplary case study.
