mycenaean repertoire MyceneanPottery

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 12:24:46 GMT

From the preceding chapters it has become clear that Ugarit has yielded a wider repertoire of Mycenaean pottery than Hazor and Deir 'Alla. The large quantity of Mycenaean vessels at Ugarit is paralleled only at other coastal cities. From Tell Abu Hawam site no. 175 some 700 Mycenaean finds have been reported.1 Excavations in a very limited area at Sarepta site no. 162 produced some 130 Mycenaean finds,2 while a nearby tomb had earlier yielded another 67 Mycenaean vessels. The variety of...

The UseLife of Dolia RomanPottery

Most dolia were probably used in or around either an agricultural compound or a horrea storehouse . Two or three rows of dolia were also sometimes positioned along the keel of a merchant ship, apparently cemented in place to prevent their shifting, functioning as fixed receptacles for the transport of wine Tchernia 1986 138-40 Aubert 1994 260-61 . As has been seen, the pricing evidence indicates that their acquisition represented a very substantial investment of funds, and, given their great...

Mon, 04 Apr 2011 12:41:52 GMT

The Syro-Palestinian littoral, commonly known as the Levant, is now taken up by six modern nation states Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and the Palestine Autonomy. This configuration and the political instability in the region over the last fifty years have influenced archaeological research, and any interpretation of distribution patterns in this area is hazardous. This is true also for the distribution of Mycenaean pottery, which has been found at 111 sites, from Charchemish site no....

Dating PotteryProduction

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:01:43 GMT

Even though the kiln produced light-on-dark patterned pottery, and there is no evidence that it ever fired vases decorated with dark-painted motifs on a lustrous buff ground, there are compelling reasons for dating its lifetime to the advanced and final stages of LM IA, as they are now defined at Kommos. Until recently, the LM IA phase at Kommos was poorly known through a few stratified contexts on the Hillside and Hilltop. In their publications of this material, Betancourt and Watrous divided...

Textual Evidence RomanPottery

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 00:57:01 GMT

The fifth and final form of evidence for the reuse of amphorae as packaging containers is textual evidence. This consists of two inscriptions from Rome that suggests that amphorae were regularly reused in west central Italy for the packaging of wine at two different points during the imperial period and a passage from Pliny the Elder that may refer to the reuse of oil amphorae for the packaging of cabbages. The first of the two epigraphical texts is an epitaph probably dating to the period ca....

Peddling Pottery Catawba Indian Pottery

Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:55:03 GMT

The Catawba potters draw from a peddling tradition with deep roots and excel at using their forefathers' bartering techniques when trading Merrell 1989 31 . The Catawba have probably always dealt in pottery. As mentioned, John Lawson noted their eighteenth-century trade in pipes. The Catawba claimed a trade network that covered the entire 55,000 square miles occupied by Catawban speakers and beyond to nations with which they maintained friendly relations. Clearly, the Indians had other viable...

When viewed in the light of the Classical masterpieces, Hellenistic ceramics may seem to have little to offer. Potting had become a trade often pursued by an indifferent craftsman the proportion of ill-centered, ungainly, and poorly fired pots is large. But there is still much that Hellenistic pottery can offer, to the archaeologist, certainly, and perhaps even to the art...

It seems likely that amphora tops detached at the level of the upper wall or shoulder and with the handles removed and or amphora bottoms from classes that terminated in something other than a solid spike with holes drilled or punched through their bases were regularly employed as funnels. Although examples of both kinds of items are regularly recovered in archaeological contexts compatible with their use as funnels, it remains impossible to demonstrate that they were, in fact, employed for...

In total, sixty-seven tombs from Thapsos have been published, including the nine enchytrismoi.14 Mycenaean pottery has been reported from twenty-two of these, as is indicated in Table 16.1 below. Such a figure could indicate that only a minority of the tombs contained Mycenaean pottery. However, the heavy disturbances in many of the funerary cellars, as well as the small number of Aegean vessels in most of the tombs, argues for caution in this respect. Little can be said about the spatial...

The evidence from Ugarit and Hazor indicates that Mycenaean pottery, as a general class of material, was widely used by various social groups in these cities. The widespread use of Mycenaean pottery among urban population groups is evident at other sites in the Levant as well.

Due recognition has come slowly to the Catawba potters. The signing of Catawba pottery vessels is a relatively recent practice, and today collectors expect to see signatures on the bottom of the vessels they purchase. As is often the case, however, even the most modern Catawba innovations often have deep roots that reach into the past. Some Catawba began to write on the bottom of their vessels following the Civil War. To date, the oldest example of a signed Catawba pot was found on the old Head...

The Catawba pottery tradition is alive and well. The craft remains a strong reflection of what the Catawbas' ancestors made before the coming of the white man. The pottery is still closely tied to the Indians' economy. Today, however, the potters are amazed to learn the prices demanded by their predecessors. The smoking pipe that sold for 10 cents in 1900 sells for a minimum of 45 dollars or more today. The same is true of every other shape produced by the potters. Making Ca-tawba pottery is...

One of the major concerns among the potters regarding tribal-based research for this book was that non-Catawba might learn Catawba construction methods.

To add extra decorative elements to their wares, many Catawba potters employ incised designs. Unfortunately, while archaeologists often excavate incised Catawba pieces in their digs, to date no one has found a site that reveals the complete body of Catawba motifs. This is true even for the area within just a few miles of the Catawba Reservation and historic living sites in both York and Lancaster counties in South Carolina. In the summer of 2002, the University of North Carolina at Chapel...

Explanatory Notes RomanPottery

Several different systems of numbering have been used in the Corinth Museum since 1896. The original system was to identify the type of object CL Corinth Lamp, CP Corinth Pottery and follow it by a continuous sequence of numbers. Objects from the Shear excavations of 1925-1931 were numbered separately by area, e.g. CH Cheliotomylos 43. Beginning in 1927, newly excavated pottery was numbered by the year in which it was found C-27-1, while CP numbers continued to be used for new entries from old...

Preface Catawba Indian Pottery

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 14:52:33 GMT

This volume has been too long in the making. Aside from my own distractions coming from those wanting Catawba information from me, the task of examining issues connected to Catawba history and culture is enormous. The documentation is vast and scattered. The tradition is of great antiquity and certainly deserved the attention. Also, although the Catawba survived the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the most critical period in their history, they slipped into obscurity. As a result, it took...

A Native Resource Clay Catawba Indian Pottery

Sun, 30 Jan 2011 03:57:05 GMT

The Catawba potters use two types of clay, pipe clay wimisuito and pan clay itoitus . Although the original Catawba-language terms are no longer common knowledge, the clays retain their separate identities. Pipe clay is often used alone but only to make small objects like pipes, hence the term pipe clay. It must be mixed with pan clay to make large vessels like pans, hence the term pan clay Harrington 1908 . Both clays are dug from pits that have been in use for a very long time, probably...

The integrative role played by feasting in the creation and maintenance of hierarchical social relations is well documented in the archaeological and ethnographic record. During the past decade, several archaeological contexts from the Bronze Age Aegean have been interpreted as remains of such activities. it is argued that a large portion of the mortuary remains from the two shaft graves at Lerna VI represent clear examples of this phenomenon already at the beginning of the Mycenaean period....

This practice is in our opinion liable to lead to misunderstanding and we would like, instead, to distinguish clearly...

The Economic Value of Roman Pottery RomanPottery

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 15:28:55 GMT

The economic value of Roman ceramic vessels presumably played a significant role in determining the ways in which they were subjected to certain of the practices here under consideration. Specifically, Romans were presumably more readily disposed to undertake maintenance operations in order to enable a pot to continue to serve its prime-use application or to employ it for some reuse application when it was a vessel of relatively great economic value. Conversely, they were presumably more...

The Catawba potters are doing much the same thing as the contemporary Alibamu-Koasati, Chitimacha, Choctaw, Creek, Louisiana Koa-sati, and Seminole by reflecting the art of the old Indians. The surviving art of these communities echoes the same ancient motifs to varied degrees. All of these tribes, like the Catawba, suffered the rapid decline of their native cultural environments to various degrees. In all cases it took four centuries for this to happen. For the Catawba, and most likely for the...

The wooden pestle once used to beat the clay was abandoned in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The boards and shallow traylike receptacle used for beating clay, photographed by Harrington in 1903 and recalled by Doris Blue, have also gone the way of the pestle. The old beating process was replaced by window wire used to strain the clay and thus remove impurities. Some of the Indians stretch this wire on a wooden frame. Fletcher Beck made such a frame for his wife Sallie Beck. It was...

From the second century B.c. onward the inhabitants of the Roman world made widespread use of amphorae for the packaging of foodstuffs. The regular consumption of the foodstuffs packaged in these containers meant that in many places commercial establishments, residential groups, military units, etc. found themselves in possession of considerable numbers of empty amphorae that they were obliged to dispose of in one way or another, either through reuse, recycling, or discard. Various forms of...

Amphorae with their bottoms removed, amphorae with their tops and bottoms removed, and amphora tops were occasionally employed as elements in the construction of both vertical and sloping drains.47 At Pompeii, for example, it appears to have been a regular practice to employ modified amphorae for the construction of vertical downpipes that served to transfer rain water and or bodily waste from the upper part of a building down to ground level.48 A good example comes from the house at Regio 1,...

It should be emphasized, however, that in many cases the evidence that can be adduced to document the reuse of amphorae as storage containers remains to some extent ambiguous. Thus, in...

As defined in Chapter 1, manufacture is the fabrication of a vessel from one or more raw materials. There were several more or less distinct modes for the manufacture of pottery in the Roman world, ranging from individual potters working on a part-time basis within the context of rural households turning out small amounts of cookwares and utilitarian wares both for domestic consumption and for sale on the market, to small urban, suburban, and rural workshops staffed by a few full-time craftsmen...

Tools Catawba Indian Pottery

The pottery tools currently in use among the Catawba reflect an interesting mix of the ancient and the modern. Some of these objects, simple as they are, have a history of their own, are treasured as heirlooms, and can even be the subject of a family dispute. When a potter dies, the tools are divided among the survivors. Hopefully the potters are considered first, but this is not always the case. When Harrington visited the Catawba, the tools he selected to discuss were nearly all of ancient...

The value of the evidence provided by these four establishments is, unfortunately,...
