Gnathia and related Hellenistic ware on the East Adriatic coast

Production and circulation of Late Hellenistic fine table ware in Central Dalmatia, Croatia

“…The establishment of the Greek cities Issa on the island of Vis and Pharos on the island of Hvar on the Central Dalmatian islands at the beginning of the 4 th c. BC marked the beginning of social and economic change among the Iron Age communities of the East Adriatic (Figure 1). This is visible in the large quantities of Greek and Hellenistic pottery, the wine drinking sets, at indigenous settlements at this time (Miše 2015(Miše : 20-23, 2017(Miše and 2019, as well as the wide circulation of amphorae in the Adriatic area (Kirigin 1994;Carre and Mattioli 2003;Kirigin et al 2006;Šešelj 2009;Lahi 2009;Gamberini 2014;Carre et al 2014;Miše et al 2019).…”

Perspectives of Archaeometric Analysis on the Hellenistic Ware From the East Adriatic Coast

“…Concurrently to Gnathia ware in southern Italy, in the Eastern Mediterranean another type of ware -the West Slope ware, similar in black coating and decorative style, were more popular, with established workshops in mainland Greece and costal Asia Minor (Agora XXIX;Rotroff 1991: 14-46;2002: 97-115;657-662). Furthermore, no direct trade or at least not in high level and intensity that can be seen in the archaeological material, was established between indigenous communities on the East Adriatic with East Mediterranean, neither such trade was documented in other Eastern Adriatic colonies and settlements (Miše 2015 and archaeometric analysis. With the comparative stylistic and morphological analyses, it is possible to identify homogeneous groups, but to obtain articulate and clear results, these analyses have to be included the entire pottery assemblage.…”

The assortment of ceramic building materials from the pottery workshop of Sextus Me(u)tillius Maximus at Crikvenica (Croatia)

“…Original scientific papers The production of hellenistic and Roman pottery and ceramics in the eastern Adriatic, in the latter period relative to the province of Dalmatia, has been supposed on the basis of indirect evidence such as brick stamps, finds of overfired shreds or other wasters and similar (Katić 2000;Kirigin et al 2002;Čargo, Miše 2010;lipovac Vrkljan et al 2018). Another approach, that of typology and distribution analysis, lately supported by archaeometric analysis, has also been applied to suggest the existence of a hellenistic and subsequently Roman pottery industry (Šegvić et al 2012;Miše 2015;Šegvić et al 2016;ugarković, Šegvić 2018; Zubin ferri 2018; lipovac Vrkljan, Konestra 2018a). The remains of kilns, on the other hand, have been either destroyed or merely mentioned in excavation reports even when seemingly present (e.g.…”

“…(Katić 2000;Kirigin et al 2002;Čargo, Miše 2010;lipovac Vrkljan et al 2018). u posljednje vrijeme, pri iznošenju pretpostavki o postojanju helenističke, a potom i rimske keramičarske proizvodnje, primjenjuju se, uz analize tipologije i distribucije, rezultati arheometrijskih analiza (Šegvić et al 2012;Miše 2015;Šegvić et al 2016;ugarković, Šegvić 2018; Zubin ferri 2018; lipovac Vrkljan, Konestra 2018a). Ostaci peći, čak i kada se navode, danas su uglavnom uništeni ili su tek spomenuti u izvještajima s pojedinih istraživanja (npr.…”
