“…The earliest evidence to date of this process is a sherd from Lerna IV:2 (Dorais and Shriner, 2002b), followed by more numerous examples at Lerna IV/V and V:1-3 (Zerner, 1978). Conversely, the upper chronological limit has been extended by the tentative identification of Aeginetan cooking jars and tripods from LH IIIB and IIIC Early contexts at settlements such as Athens, Thorikos, Ayios Konstantinos, Iria, Mycenae, and Midea (Lindblom, 2001:37-38, 98).…”

Evidence for a single clay/temper source for the manufacture of Middle and Late Helladic Aeginetan pottery from Asine, Greece

In an effort to further characterize the Middle and Late Helladic pottery industry on Aegina, we have analyzed amphibole in 23 sherds imported to the coastal settlement of Asine. The sherds derive from vessels of different classes and shapes and range in age from MH I-II to LH IIIB-IIIC Early. All sherds come from vessels that carry manufacturing marks, and their amphiboles have compositions that are incompatible with those of Methana, Poros, and Melos. Twenty of the sherds have amphiboles that are identical in composition and overlap a narrow range of amphibole compositions found in specific lava flows on the northern portion of Aegina. Given that the dacites across Aegina contain amphiboles with a wide range in compositions, we suggest that the narrow range of amphibole compositions in the sherds indicates that they were derived from either a specific clay source on the island, located in a stream system southeast of the prehistoric settlement at Kolonna, or that the potters used a specific temper source along the same stream system. Multiple clay or temper sources would have produced sherds with a broader range of amphibole compositions reflecting the diversity of amphibole compositions found on Aegina. One sherd has amphibole compositions indicative of an additional Aeginetan component that is not found in the other sherds. Two sherds have amphiboles with compositions that do not match any known reference amphiboles for Aegina, Methana, Poros, or Melos. These may have been derived from still unsampled dacites on Aegina or have been manufactured from materials located outside the Saronic Gulf.

Interpreting the Pottery Record from Geometric and Archaic Sanctuaries in the Northwestern Peloponnese

2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The northwestern Peloponnese played an important role in Greece during the Geometric and Archaic periods. This has only become clear with the research of the last three decades. The sanctuaries of Achaia and northern Arkadia made significant contributions to early temple architecture. Their range of finds attests to both supra-regional connections and regional specificities. The 17 papers in this symposium provide an overview of the state of research on Early Greek sanctuaries in the northwestern Peloponnese and neighbouring areas. Well-studied sanctuaries are discussed alongside lesser-known ones in order to provide as complete a picture as possible. Sanctuaries of supra-regional importance such as Ano Mazaraki, Lousoi and Nikoleika are discussed, as well as local cult sites in caves that are difficult to access (Tria Goupata, Drakaina). The focus is on the interpretation of ceramic assemblages. The functional analysis of the pottery allows conclusions to be drawn about ritual and profane activities in the temene. Together with the votive offerings, it also provides information about the composition of the cult communities and their concerns for the worshipped deity. The origin of the pottery provides information on the connectivity of the sanctuary. Special emphasis is placed on archaeometric analyses of pottery and the function of miniature vessels. Other papers deal with early sacred architecture and the design of sacred precincts.
