Pottery À La Mode in the Late Punic World: Production of Red-Slip ‘Kuass Ware’ in Málaga, Spain (2nd-1st C. Bc)

BC) in association with a large assemblage of red-slip tablewares ascribed to the so-called 'Kuass ware'. These wares, which were very widespread in the Western Punic world, are known to have been produced mainly in the area of Cádiz. However, the macroscopic features of the examples found in Málaga together with their association with a probable kiln site suggests the existence of a local production, not reported before. This hypothesis is examined in the present paper through a science-based approach, which involved the analysis of 20 samples of 'Kuass ware' from Málaga through a combination of thin section petrography and elemental analysis by WD-XRF. Results were compared to those of reference samples of 'Kuass ware' from the Bay of Cádiztheir main production areaas well as to geological samples of clays and sands from the surroundings of the site in Málaga, and to previously published data for Punic amphorae from Málaga. The analytical results support the hypothesis of a local production, effectively confirming the first instance of 'Kuass ware' production in the Mediterranean coast of Andalusia, and provide reference data for 'Kuass ware' from the Late Punic city of Malaka.

The tombs that contained, among other precious finds, palatial jars and oval-mouthed amphorae verify the presence of a powerful social group operating there during this transformative period, when major social changes took place throughout the Peloponnese with the emergence of political and social hierarchies. An integrated project combining archaeological and scientific data is being carried out concerning both the finer and coarser pottery from Kakovatos in order to shed light on issues of pottery production and supply. Petrographic data combined with refiring tests and Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) are closely associated with the typological and stylistic analysis of the pottery. The assemblage under study comprises plain and decorated ceramics found at the settlement and the tholos tombs, including the palatial jars and the oval-mouthed amphorae, typical transport containers often associated with elite groups. The current study constitutes a first attempt at exploring the local, intraregional and interregional dynamics affecting social transformations in this part of the Peloponnese and neighbouring and more distant areas. The preliminary results suggest a rather intricate pattern of supply and consumption and a cosmopolitan lifestyle with local and imported pots combined in different activities, such as drinking but also cooking. Based on the variety of imported pots, it seems that there are wide connections and access to regional and long-distance networks and intensive circulation between northern Triphylia and other parts of the Peloponnese, as well as between the site and distant regions. Two main lines of connections could be distinguished that link Kakovatos with Crete on the one hand and with other regions of the Peloponnese, especially the northeast (i.e. the Argolid), on the other.

The 23 chapters of the Handbook focus on: archaeobotany, archaeozoology, pottery studies, human osteoarchaeology, archaeometallurgy, isotopes, phytoliths and starch analysis, micromorphology, glass studies, fish and shell remains, biomolecular archaeology and conservation science.

For a long time, its exploration has focused on palaces and funerary monuments. However, in recent years the state of research has changed significantly, opening up new perspectives for a broader understanding of the emergence of Mycenaean culture in the 17th to 15th centuries B.C. The contributions in this volume provide new information, either insights from recent fieldwork, the fresh analysis of key assemblages, or more comprehensive comparative studies that, by examining settlements and tombs alike, open up new perspectives on the emergence of a new social order.

Για το σκοπό αυτό εξετάζεται χειροποίητη και τροχήλατη "μυκηναϊκή" κεραμική από τις τελευταίες φάσεις της ΥΕΧ στην Τούμπα Θεσσαλονίκης. Αντιμετωπίζοντας την τεχνολογία σαν ένα πολυδιάστατο κοινωνικό φαινόμενο, η έρευνα διαρθρώνεται σε δυό επίπεδα: Στο πρώτο, η συνδυασμένη εφαρμογή μακροσκοπικής εξέτασης, δοκιμών επανόπτησης, πετρογραφικής ανάλυσης λεπτών τομών και εξέτασης δειγμάτων στο ηλεκτρονικό μικροσκόπιο σάρωσης, συμβάλλει στην κατανόηση των τεχνολογικών επιλογών σε όλα τα στάδια της κατασκευής και την ανασύνθεση της κατασκευαστικής διαδικασίας των διαφόρων τύπων αγγείων. Στο δεύτερο επίπεδο πραγματοποιείται αξιολόγηση των τεχνικών επιλογών κυρίως με βάση τις παραμέτρους της τυποποίησης, επένδυσης εργασίας και δεξιοτεχνίας γαι την κατανόηση του τρόπου που οργανώνονταν η κεραμική παραγωγή και του κοινωνικού πλαισίου της. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, γίνεται φανερό ότι η κατασκευή της χειροποίητης και της τροχήλατης "μυκηναϊκής" κεραμικής στην περιοχή συνδεόταν με διαφορετικές τεχνολογίες και τρόπους οργάνωσης της παραγωγής και η ανεξάρτητη συνύπαρξη των δυό αυτών κεραμικών παραδόσεων, αντανακλούσε τη σαφή διαφοροποίηση των κοινωνικών ρόλων των φορέων τους.
The diffusion of pottery products, decorative styles and craft technology in the late medieval Mediterranean: A Greek perspective

We tackle this question through an integrative study of provenance and technology of sgraffito tablewares, a sophisticated item of material culture that became widely distributed within and beyond the Byzantine world in late medieval times. The focus is on 155 fragments found at Thebes and Corinth, two strategic centers of international commerce and political organization in mainland Greece. We combine archaeological and stylistic approaches with mineralogical, chemical and textural analyses of the ceramic bodies, slips and glazes. The goal is to assess complexity, diversity and overlaps in pottery trade networks, spheres of artistic influences, and corridors of technological transfers, each of which results from a specific type of interaction between peoples during this politically unstable period.
