“…Projects in the tradition of multidisciplinary, intensive field survey have taken place across North Africa, including in Morocco in the Wadi Draa (Mattingly et al 2018) and Loukkos Valley (Akkeraz et al 2020); in Tunisia in the Segermes Valley (Dietz et al 1995), on the island of Jerba (Fentress et al 2009), and around the Roman city of Leptiminus (Stone et al 2011); and in Libya (Barker et al 1996(Barker et al , 2010. Important legacy datasets from older surveys have also been published, for example, around the major sites of Carthage in Tunisia (Sycamore and Buchanan 2016) and Jarma in Libya (Mattingly et al 2003(Mattingly et al , 2013.…”

In this paper we describe the development and state of archaeological surface survey in the Mediterranean. We focus especially on surface survey as a means of documenting long-term settlement patterns at various scales, as an approach to the archaeology of regions, and as a pathway to the interpretation of past landscapes. Over the last decades, literature on Mediterranean survey has increasingly emphasized a distinct set of practices, viewed both favorably and critically by regional archaeologists in the Mediterranean and elsewhere. We show that Mediterranean survey in fact comprises several discrete regional traditions. In general, these traditions have much to offer to wider dialogues in world archaeology, particularly concerning sampling and research design, the interpretation of surface assemblages, and the integration of complex, multidisciplinary datasets. More specifically, survey investigations of Mediterranean landscapes provide comparative data and potential research strategies of relevance to many issues of global significance, including human ecology, demography, urban-rural dynamics, and various types of polity formation, colonialism, and imperialism.

“…This situation in the eastern Mediterranean contrasts with that in the western and central Mediterranean where ceramic workshop studies are more prevalent and longstanding. Although the following list is far from comprehensive, it highlights some important examples: la Graufesenque, France (Schaad 2007;Schaad, Vernhet 2007); Sallèles d'Aude, France (Laubenheimer 2001); Yvelines, France (Dufaÿ et al 1997);Scoppieto, Italy (Bergamini 2007); Brindisi, Italy (Manacorda, Pallecchi 2012); and Leptiminus, Tunisia (Stone et al 1998;Sterling et al 2000;Sterling, Ben Lazreg 2001). In consideration of the current state of workshop studies in the Roman East, the research being undertaken on the redslipped ceramic industry at Sagalassos is significant in developing these research themes in the region.…”

A late antique ceramic workshop complex: evidence for workshop organisation at Sagalassos (southwest Turkey)

Sites of ceramic production have been discovered throughout the area that was once the Roman Empire; as a result, it is becoming increasingly clear that this industry was, in the Roman and late antique worlds, organised in numerous ways. In consideration of the organisational diversity in ceramic production attested during the period, this article presents some of the findings from the excavations of a late antique complex of ceramic workshops at the site of Sagalassos in order to consider archaeological evidence in terms of, not only the organisation of the manufacturing process, but also structures of workshop decision-making. Several lines of archaeological evidence are outlined, and argue for a model of independent work units integrated into a larger organisational structure of decision-making, and possibly even ownership, across the complex. In addition, the motivation to invest in a multi-workshop complex during the late antique period at Sagalassos is contextualised within the wider history of local and regional economic development.

This paper discusses the evidence for economic and community integration on the Sinop promontory from the early first millennium BC through the middle of the first millennium AD based on the results of the Sinop Regional Archaeological Project. Results suggest that settlement and economy on the Sinop promontory were strongly affected by the broader condition of the Black Sea economy. Contrary to the sudden appearance of colonial sites dispersed over a relatively extensive territory seen in other important Pontic colonies (e.g. Olbia), evidence from Sinop suggests several centuries of disengagement followed by a progressive engagement between Greek and non-Greek communities following the extension of Persian influence in the eastern Pontus in the early fourth century. Infrastructural improvements under early Roman administration may not have been followed immediately by economic expansion, which seems to have taken off after the establishment of Constantinople.
