Questions on the Date of the Hellenistic Pottery from Central Asia (Ai Khanoum, Marakanda and Koktepe)

Abstract On the basis of recent research on the pottery and comparisons between three important sites with Hellenistic occupation in Central Asia, new dates are proposed for each of them. The article presents both the former data and hypotheses and the recent discoveries, including coins for Afrasiab/Samarkand, which lead to the new proposals. Changes in pottery style do not follow immediately Alexander’s conquest, and the first real Hellenistic shapes only appear under Antiochos I. After Antiochos III’s reconquest of Bactria, an important wave of new fashions in pottery style is introduced which lasted until Eucratides’ death and the end of the Greek domination, around the middle of the 2nd century BC. Sogdiana hardly shows any of these novelties because it had already gained its independence.

Composition, Technology of Manufacture, and Circulation of Hellenistic Pottery from the Eastern Adriatic: A Case Study of Three Archaeological Sites along the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia

Archaeological excavations in Dalmatia have yielded a large amount of Hellenistic pottery that has yet to be archaeometrically analyzed. Stylistic analyses suggest that some vessels were imported, but the bulk of the material must have been produced locally. Our objectives are to demonstrate local ceramic production in both Greek colonies and native settlements in Dalmatia, and also to report on the composition and manufacture technology associated with this pottery. We examine 36 Hellenistic potsherds recovered from the coast of Croatia: a sanctuary on Cape Ploča, the native settlement of Resnik, and the Greek colony Issa. For the first time, archaeometric evidence supporting local production in Resnik is presented, while two local manufacturing centers are proposed for the bulk of the Cape Ploča pottery. The term Dalmatian production is suggested here to describe these indigenous ceramics. Material characteristics of the Issa samples suggest local colonial production and sophisticated ceramic technology.

エン・ゲヴ遺跡出土のヘレニズム土器

In 2009 Keio University resumed excavations at ‘En Gev for a period of three years. This paper reports on the Hellenistic pottery discovered at Area H in 2009. A Japanese team and Tel Aviv University excavated at ‘En Gev for eight seasons from 1990 to 2004 (final report in Japanese: Tsukimoto et al., 2009; English version forthcoming). These excavations revealed Iron Age strata (St. V and St. IV), Persian-period pits (St. III), a Hellenistic stratum (St. II), and Late Hellenistic structures and Roman lime kilns (St. I). Among those, the Hellenistic stratum (St. II) actually has more than one phase, though it is sometimes difficult to identify them because of erosion by modern activities and the reusing of buildings in the Hellenistic periods. Several analyses were done to identify the stratum of some of the rooms discovered and to identify the pottery shards from them (Makino’s paper in the forthcoming English report). The resumed excavation by Keio University shed light on the cultural transition from the late Iron Age to the Hellenistic period at ‘En Gev more precisely. The pottery shards found during the resumed excavation in Area H show that St. 1 is Late Hellenistic. Also, early to late Hellenistic transition pottery was found in St. 2a, and pottery shards of the Persian to Early Hellenistic periods were found in St. 3a and St. 2b. It is possible they are mixed due to later constructions. Shards of the 1st century BC onward are rare. Thus, St 1 seems to end in the middle of the Late Hellenistic period.

Very few data regarding Hellenistic pottery are known from Upper Mesopotamia because of the scantiness of materials found in stratified contexts. Peculiar characters are the black, red and brown slip and the presence of green glazed pottery in the levels of the mid 2nd century BC, while the influences from the Greek world in the shapes of the vases is also attested, even if in few cases. But the precise evolution of the morphology and of the production of the various classes of pottery still ...

Materiali inediti da Sovana. Alcuni corredi funerari dalla necropoli di San Sebastiano

Hellenistic pottery, found in four Etruscan chamber tombs in Sovana, is presented here. The most interesting vessels are some jugs, decorated with a floral pattern, that were produced locally in the third century B.C. A black-glazed plate contains an inscription that is the oldest Latin epigraphic document of Sovana and it shows the slow process of Romanization of an Etruscan town in the first century B.C. This funeral complex is interesting because of the lack of documentation at Sovana, that is perfectly preserved.

Neutron activation analysis of Hellenistic pottery from Boeotia, Greece

A set of 122 ceramic vessels found mostly in Hellenistic tombs in Boeotia, Greece, has been analysed using neutron activation analysis. The samples had been found during excavations of ancient cemeteries in the towns of Akraiphnion and Aliartos situated, respectively, at the eastern and south-western shores of the ancient lake of Copais (north-western part of Boeotia), as well as at Tanagra and Thebes in the eastern part of the same region. The analyses resulted in a clear separation between the Copaic and eastern samples. Several of the samples also showed compositions already found among Bronze Age samples from the same region indicating a local origin. Especially with regard to the samples from the Theban tombs, the results point to an import from different origins, in some cases as distant as Asia Minor.

Knossos 1951–61: Classical and Hellenistic pottery from the town

The excavation of M. S. F. Hood in the area of the Minoan Royal Road at Knossos produced stratified deposits of Greek pottery ranging in date from Protogeometric to Hellenistic. This article, the last in a series of three, concentrates on the local and imported pottery of the Classical and Hellenistic periods. For the Classical sequence, a late-fourth century house deposit is supplemented by three earlier well fills from the area of the Vcnizeleion Hospital. There follows five stratified groups of Hellenistic pottery, the last two being from second-century floor deposits. Also included here are many pieces from less well stratified contexts, but of intrinsic interest.
