In the present case study, the manufacturing technology for glazed pottery was investigated, with particular focus on the great variety of colours and glaze recipes used in Western Anatolia and East Asia and observed in finds from rescue excavation sites in Greece. An assemblage of 40 ceramic fragments dating from the Late Byzantine and Islamic to...
The article offers a large-scope assessment of archaeological and ethnoarchaeological research on foodways within the core Mediterranean heartlands of the Ottoman Empire. It integrates evidence from a range of historical and archaeological sources, both terrestrial and underwater. After presenting an overview of 30 years of scholarship on the subje...
This study attempts to take aspects of pottery technology into account while concentrating on the blue pigment and glaze recipes of various kinds of glazed pottery types; that is to say, Iznik ware, Kütahya ware, Miletus ware, glazed fritware, porcelain, polychrome glazed ware, and monochrome glazed ware were collected from a rescue excavation site...
During the period 500–1000 CE Egypt was successively part of the Byzantine, Persian and Islamic empires. All kinds of events, developments and processes occurred that would greatly affect its history and that of the eastern Mediterranean in general. This is the first volume to map Egypt's position in the Mediterranean during this period. Drawing on...
This paper focuses on various categories of glazed pottery, which were in circulation in western Euboea (Greece) during the Middle Byzantine and Late Byzantine Periods. The production technology and particularly the surface treatment of Byzantine glazed pottery have been investigated on the basis of 56 ceramic fragments from a rescue excavation in...
The Adriatic has long occupied a liminal position between different cultures, languages and faiths. This book offers the first synthesis of its history between the seventh and the mid-fifteenth century, a period coinciding with the existence of the Byzantine Empire which, as heir to the Roman Empire, lay claim to the region. The period also saw the...
This Data Atlas of Byzantine and Ottoman Material Culture involves the archiving, storing and making accessible of Medieval and Post-Medieval data from several archaeological missions in the eastern Mediterranean (period 600–2000 ad ). The data mainly originate from pottery studies carried out during excavations in four major urban centres and duri...
In this paper, we present the research questions that guided archaeological investigations in the north cluster of islands and islets of the Inner Ionian Sea between 2010 and 2012. We describe our eld methods and the preliminary results of the study of portable nds recovered during the intensive survey. Through a collaboration between researchers c...
Cambridge Core - Middle East Studies - The Archaeology of Imperial Landscapes - edited by Bleda S. Düring
Il volume raccoglie gli Atti del Secondo Convegno Tematico organizzato dall’AIECM3 (Association pour l’étude des céramiques Médiévales et Moderne en Mediterranée), tenutosi dal 17 al 19 aprile del 2015, in collaborazione con il Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza e con il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università Ca’ Foscari di Ve...
The beginning of the Turkish period in Western Anatolia initiates new ceramic types, related to the "Islamic" world, in the local pottery repertoire. To study this evolution from Byzantine to Turkish times, our paper focuses on one of these types, moulded wares, and on two sites, Miletus and Ephesus. At both sites, evidence of local production was...
We present a review of the post Bronze Age material excavated by Coldstream and Huxley at Kastri on Kythera, as part of the ongoing Kythera Island Project. In particular we refer to material not published in Coldstream and Huxley 1972. Greek material is largely confined to one deposit and dates to the period c.500 to 380 BC. From the Roman period m...
The Epirote port of Butrint (now in Albania) features significantly in the neo-Latin epic, the Carlias, by the Florentine Ugolino Verino (1438–1516). This poem was recast on the occasion of the invasion of Italy by Charles VIII of France, to encourage the young king to imitate his ancestor, Charlemagne, and undertake a crusade. This essay focuses u...

Hebben de Geesteswetenschappen nut? Nu die vraag steeds vaker klinkt, leek het Geeske Langejans en Joanita Vroom een goed plan de wetenschappelijke relevantie eens uit te rekenen. En wat blijkt: ze geven more bang for your buck dan enige andere tak van wetenschap.
This paper considers how to make the most out of the rather imprecise chronological knowledge that we often have about the past. We focus here on the relative dating of artefacts during archaeological fieldwork, with particular emphasis on new ways to express and analyse chronological uncertainty. A probabilistic method for assigning artefacts to p...
The aim of this article is to test the concept of 'identity' in archaeology by discussing the complex relation between ceramics and 'identity' in the archaeological record in the Morea after the conquest of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in AD 1204. Following this fateful date, the archaeological finds in the Peloponnese not only indicate a d...
The early medieval ceramic finds from excavations at the Triconch Palace in Butrint, in south-western Albania, are of special relevance for our understanding of the archaeology and the history of the Adriatic region in this period. These finds include lead-glazed chafing dishes and various cooking utensils from the late 7th/8th to the 9th/early 10t...
This paper sets out to explore the relationship between excavated evidence of dining rooms and table utensils, and changing dining habits in Late Antiquity. In the first part the emphasis is on pictorial representations of dining scenes from the 5th and 6th c. A.D. The second part of the paper examines the archaeological evidence and its relationsh...
On the basis of the Post-Roman surface finds from the Boeotia Survey in central Greece, the use and social meaning of glazed vessels as table utensils from Byzantine to Ottoman times (ca. 10th–19th centuries A.D.) will be discussed, as well as the cultural changes in dining manners in that period. It is the intention of this paper to approach this...
This paper sets out to discuss Early Modern pottery in Greece as an archaeological and historical source of information. The designation 'Early Modern' is used here for the 19th and 20th centuries AD. An overview of studies on Early Modern ceramics in the Aegean is followed by an attempt to compare Early Modern pottery finds from surveys in two ver...
The study of Medieval and Post-Medieval pottery in Greece has been much neglected until quite recently. Only in the last decade or so has interest in the historical and cultural information presented by the remains and artefacts of these periods grown. In the Cambridge-Durham Boeotia Project, based on intensive field survey, much attention has been...
