“…The set consists of one miniature dish from the Phoenician White Ware group (A), drinking vessels, such as bowls (B) and saucers (C), perfume bottles or unguentaria (D) and amphorae (E) made in Phoenician Semi‐Fine. There are also other vessels for liquids, such as table amphorae (F) and jugs, which were produced during the Hellenistic period at nearby Porphyreon (Wicenciak 2016), and fragments of ‘Phoenician jars’ (G). The character of the ceramic vessels leads one to conclude that this place, in the Hellenistic period, was not permanently inhabited but only visited by the surrounding people, who went to this sacred place to sacrifice to deities and to ask for blessings.…”

The rituals performed in the Phoenician cult places have traditionally been reconstructed primarily on the basis of architectural remains and sculptural finds. However, even if the exact role ceramics or other objects played in the rituals is unknown, it was certainly not secondary. New work carried out at the cult place of Kharayeb by an Italian-Lebanese mission has produced unusually detailed documentation of such finds, and provides a richer context for the consideration the little data about pottery already published by M. Chéhab and I. Kaoukabani. In particular attention has focused on the use of small and miniaturized pottery (from figurines to miniature vessels) in rituals at the site. With reference to recent research on these issues and comparison with similar practices in the Near East, Greek, and western Phoenician worlds this article proposes new hypotheses on the meaning of ritual practices involving small objects. THE ELUSIVE RITUALS OF THE PHOENICIAN CULT PLACE OF THE FIRST MILLENNIUM BCReconstructing rituals practised in the Phoenician area in religious cultural contexts, whether public or domestic, is a rather complicated challenge (Fig. 1). Indeed, the few excavated Phoenician sanctuaries, temples and shrines are known only for their architectural and sculptural remains. Archaeologically documented activities related to the cult itself are very few in number, especially for the phases between the beginning of the first millennium and the Persian era (end of sixth century to 333 BC). Moreover, the possibility of reconstructing the rituals practised using pottery has been lost forever because of the methods of excavation adopted until very recently.In the publication of a cult place such as Amrit (Dunand and Saliby 1985), for example, the data relating to pottery were summarized in just a few pages and pictures (Fig. 2), leaving them at a distinct disadvantage compared to the documentation of the statuary (Lembke 2004). Some interesting elements can, even so, be deduced from the presence both of oil lamps (found in the favissa; Dunand and Saliby 1985, table 55) and of characteristic jugs whose mouths are closed by a perforated filter (Fig. 2b). This type of jug was found in large quantities, especially 'dans la quai nord du bassin, surtout en face du naos' (Dunand and Saliby 1985, 51) and must have been used in

Cet article résulte des travaux préliminaires pour l’étude de la fonction des espaces et de la contextualisation des mobiliers dans l’Îlot des comédiens et ses abords nord. Pour deux pièces de l’îlot, interprétées comme des lieux de préparation culinaire, l’analyse des données archéologiques, que livrent les archives de fouilles de l’équipe de Ph. Bruneau entre 1961 et 1965 et leur publication monographique exceptionnelle (EAD XXVII), nous a permis d’évaluer les vestiges stratigraphiques relevés lors de la fouille et de rattacher des assemblages de mobiliers, en particulier céramiques, à des séquences stratigraphiques. Nous présentons les aménagements construits ainsi que les assemblages, tous groupes de céramiques confondus (fines, grossières, amphores, braseros), restés in situ au moment de l’abandon des lieux dans l’objectif de livrer une répartition spatiale des objets et de proposer une datation pour cette dernière occupation.
