Comprehensive changes in the subject repertoire of the Athenian Figure Pottery manifested itself ... more Comprehensive changes in the subject repertoire of the Athenian Figure Pottery manifested itself by the second quarter of the 6 th century BC, by which anthropocentric subjects substituted the animal frieses. Gigantomachy, Iliupersis, Centauromachy and Amazonomachy were the most frequently depicted mythological war scenes from the second quarter of the 6 th century until the middle of the 5 th century BC. On the other hand Grypomachy and Geranomachy along with Amazonomachy were the most favoured subjects on the Athenian Red Figure Pottery in the 4 th century BC. Some researchers including S. Colvin, F. Vian, D. Bothmer and B. Schiffler classified the mythological war scenes on the Athenian Figure Pottery typologically and investigated the iconographic changes in the course of time. Also some others like B. Tarbell, T. Hölscher, M. Langner, M. Mangold attempted to explain their meaning and submitted different proposals for their interpretation. Considering the different approaches in research, this paper aims to provide an overview to the compositional and figural iconography of the mythological war scenes on the Athenian Figure Pottery. In the last part some remarks and problems related to the subject are discussed.

Since the Roman residential buildings were discovered within the scope of research projects that focussed on the Mycenean and Archaic settlement of the city, these ruins didn't get the attention they deserved. This article seeks to contribute to filling this gap. During the excavations in the East-West Trench to the West of the Bouleuterion in 1959 a peristyle court with mosaic floor that apparently belongs to an Atrium House was discovered. Selected deposits from the strata above and below the mosaic floor as well as from the Byzantine Cistern in the close proximity of the peristyle court provide important evidence for identifying the different phases of the occupation. Little is known about the general characteristics of the pottery from residential contexts in Miletus. In the third part of the article the repertoire and origin of the table and kitchen ware as well as the transport amphorae from the Atrium House in the East-West Trench are addressed.

typology and fabric charakteristics it can be compared with medaillon
bowls of Oinophoros Ware and classified as Knidian manufacture. Western Asia Minor, Aegean Islands and Egypt being in the first place oinophoroi were demanded in many centers. In the light of parallel examples from the west Anatolian deposits Milesian Patera can be dated to 1st-2nd centuries CE. Knidian medaillion bowls were identified in Knidos and many other sites in western Anatolia but also in Alexandreia, Athens on the North shore of the Black Sea.

Das vorliegende Material stammt aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Stadt und setzt sich zusammen aus Formen der African Red Slip (ARS), Late Roman C (LRC) und Late Roman Light Coloured Ware (LRLCW), die anhand ihrer typologischen Merkmalen in das 3. bis 7. Jh. n. Chr. gewiesen werden können. Vereinzelte Funde aus dem 3. Jh. deuten darauf hin, dass ARS ab diesem Zeitpunkt in Adramytteion importiert wurde. Das Fundmaterial wird deutlich von der LRC dominiert, gefolgt von ARS und LRLCW. Die quantative Verteilung der unterschiedlichen Gattungen spiegelt weitgehend die Situation wieder, die auch in anderen Städten Nordwestanatoliens begegnet. Durch makroskopische Beobachtungen können innerhalb der LRC und ARS unterschiedliche Fabrikate festgestellt werden, wobei auf jede Gruppe jeweils eine geringe Anzahl an Fragmenten entfällt. Ob in Adramytteion eine lokale Feinkeramik-Produktion in spätantiker Zeit existierte, muss zwar beim jetzigen Kenntnisstand weitgehend unbeantwortet bleiben; eine lokale Produktion von Feinkeramik wie in einigen pisidischen, pamphylischen und phrygischen Städten scheint für Adramytteion jedoch eher unwahrscheinlich zu sein.
ABSTRACT
Late Antique Sigillata From Adramytteion (Ören/Balıkesir): A Comparative Material Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to present the range of fine wares used at Adramytteion (modern Ören-Balıkesir) in late antiquity. Specimens were acquired from various parts of the city during excavations in 2012–2013. A particularly large quantity of late antique sigillata was found from a sondage (S9) near Bergaztepe between areas A and B, suggesting late antique occupation of the area. Late antique sigillata finds were also made from Area A in the modern city center and the nearby Area E located to the northeast. In both areas, remains of buildings were unearthed that were apparently used as warehouses in the 12th–13th centuries. A few examples were also obtained from Area D. Architectural remains in this area are associated with a residential complex.
The material presented here documents the changing patterns of fine ware consumption at Adramytteion in late antiquity. The available specimens consist of ARS (African Red Slip), LRC (Late Roman C), and LRLCW (Late Roman Light Colored Ware) plates and bowls dated from the 3rd to early 7th centuries AD based on typological characteristics. The earliest examples of ARS ware can be traced to the 3rd century. However, the small number of finds suggests less demand for ARS during the 3rd century. Archaeological deposits from the various parts of the city indicate that ESC (Eastern Sigillata C) was the predominant fine ware in the 3rd and early 4th centuries. A slight increase can be observed in ARS imports from the mid-4th century onward. As is the case across the Mediterranean area, however, probably because of the Vandal invasions in Africa, quantities of ARS ware decreased steadily in the following period. ARS continued to be imported until the beginning of the 7th century, though
only in very limited quantities after the 6th century. Form 108 represents the latest datable specimen in this category. Given the evidence provided in this study, it can be stated that the fine ware market in Adramytteion was clearly dominated by LRC ware, especially from the second half of the 5th century onward. Of the late antique sigillata, 69% consists of LRC. The earliest specimens represented within the LRC spectrum belong to Form 1. Most examples are assigned to Hayes Form 3. The later forms from the 6th and early 7th centuries (forms 5, 8, and 10) are each represented by one or two fragments. The latest datable specimen, belonging to Hayes Form 10, is assigned to the early 7th century AD. Late antique fine ware from Adramytteion also includes LRLCW (Late Roman Light Colored Ware). Finds from Parion and Antandros closely resemble the LRCW finds from Adramytteion.

Bouleuterion'un batısındaki WB59 (Westlich des Bouleuterion) ve tiyatro terası-nın güneyindeki S61 (Südschnitt) açmaları, Heroon III, Heroon I, Güney Hamamlar ve Piskoposluk Sarayı'ndaki kazılarda ele geçen buluntular Miletos'un ince cidarlı keramikleri ile ilgili önemli bilgiler sağlamaktadır. Erken İmparatorluk Dönemi buluntularının büyük çoğunluğunu elips ya da konik gövdeli içki kapları oluşturmaktadır. Öte yandan J. Hayes'in "Boccalina a Collarino" tipi olarak adlandırdığı maşrapaların huni formundaki ağıza sahip örnekleri MS II.-III. yüzyıla tarihlenen buluntu topluluklarında karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Form repertuvarı ağırlıklı olarak Batı Anadolu kıyılarındaki merkezlerde üretilmiş olan buluntularla karşılaştırma yapmaya imkan vermektedir. Aynı zamanda elips ya da konik gövdeli içki kaplarının önemli bir kısmı Meander Bölgesi kil özelliği göstermektedir. Erken İmparatorluk Dönemi'ne tarihlenen örnekler arasında Knidos üretimi parmak baskılı kase, Kuzey Ege üretimi olması muhtemel "Urnetta a Colarino" tipi maşrapa bulunmaktadır. Boccalino tipi Maşrapaların MS II.-III. yüzyıla tarih-lenen örnekleri arasında Phokaia üretimi olduğu tespit edilen bir parça mevcuttur. İtalya üretimi ince cidarlı kapların İonia Bölgesi genelinde olduğu gibi Miletos'ta da talep görmediği anlaşılmaktadır.
Abstract: Thin walled pottery was produced in Italy between the late II nd century B.C. to the III rd century A.D. Scanty examples from find spots in Western Asia Minor are extensive in Early Roman deposits. Available finds from the trenches WB59, S61 and also from Heroon III, Heroon I, the South Baths and the Bishops Palace, present an overwiew of the spectrum of thin walled pottery from Miletus. Ellipsoidal and conical beakers from the late I st century B.C. and the early I st century A.D. form the most frequently represented group amongst finds from the early Roman Period. Boccalina a Collarina Type Jugs with a cone shaped rim are represented in deposits dating from the II nd and III rd century A.D. The available finds from Miletos provide a close analogy with examples from western Asia Minor. Some of the ellipsoidal and conical beakers are from a micaceaous Meander clay. Among the finds from the Early Roman Period, Cnidian carinated cups with thumb impressions and Urnetta Collarina type jugs, probably of Northern Aegean origin, were also found. Among the later types of Boccalino a Collarino jugs (with cone shaped rim) from the III rd century A.D., an example from the Phocean workshop was identified. Available data indicates Italian thin walled pottery was not favoured in Miletus, as was the case with other cities of Ionia.

The geographical location of the Eastern Thrace between Greece, Asia Minor and Black Sea is a determining factor for the import and export potential of the region. The Greeks started to colonise the region from the 7th century BC onwards. From the end of the 6th century BC, Eastern Thrace fall under the Persian dominance. Following this period Odryssian Kingdom emerged as a political actor in the region. Macedonian Kingdom took over the contol in the middle of the 4th century BC. Eastern Thrace was included in the Roman borders officially through the establishment of the Provincia Thrakia in 46 BC.
In Eastern Thrace, as is the case in Thrace which played host to different civilisations throughout its history, the pottery finds show great variety. On the other hand considering the potential of the region it is clear that the present publications about Greek and Roman Pottery from the Region remain scanty. The planned congress, which will take place at the end of 2016 at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University/İstanbul, will hopefully be a step forward and contribute to overcome the deficincies.

The present article deals with the Hellenistic and Roman pottery collected during the Karataş-Survey in 2007 at the
site of the orthogonal settlement. Since the discovery of ruins in 1811 by F. Beaufort at Cape Karataş (Adana Province,
Eastern Cilicia), scholars have discussed whether they belonged to Mallos or to its port and sanctuary Magarsos.
Today it is usually agreed that the settlement encircled with fortifications on Cape Karataş belong to Magarsos.
The earliest examples of Hellenistic fine ceramics from Karataş are the black-glazed pottery dating to the end of the
4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The sherds, which can be compared with material from the deposits of
Syrio-Palestinian sites (3rd-1st centuries BC), comprises mainly Hellenistic Colour-Coated pottery. Hellenistic and
Roman Eastern Sigillata A (ESA) forms are also documented. The latest examples of Roman Period are Eastern Sigillata
B (ESB) dating to the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The coarse pottery assemblage comprises mainly storage, transport
and kitchen vessels with light coloured fabric and displays a variety of forms including craters, mortaria, amphorae,
and cooking vessels. The earliest examples can be compared with the ceramics of the 3rd century BC from different
deposits in Syrio-Palestinian and Cypriot sites. A cooking pot (lopas), is the latest datable sherd among the coarse
wares. Typological analogies with the findings from Tarsus and Knossos allow us to classify this type to Middle Roman
Period.

There was a significant increase in the variety of the form, fabric and decoration of the pottery in the Hellenistic Period. Local workshops sometimes even reinterpreted some styles (such as Pergamenian West slope) or forms (such as Knidian bowl) in their own ways. Through commercial relations the new genres reached far distances, which led to the increase of the variety in regional contexts.

-----FIRST CIRCULAR------
Thrace, nowadays part of Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey, is an important passageway between the Aegean and the Black Sea; the Balkan region and Asia Minor. The archaeological records indicate that Thrace was settled already in the Prehistorical Ages. From the 7th century BC onwards the influence of Western Anatolia and Greece can be followed in the material culture as a result of colonisation movements and commercial activities. After the Persian Invasions in 5th century BC and the Hegemony of Odyrs Dynasty, the region came under the control of Macedonia in 346 BC. During the Roman Empire Thrace
received the status of ‘Provincia Thracia’. After the fall of Western Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire dominated the region until the 8th century AD. Pottery is one of the most important archaeological category reflecting the cultural traces of the different political phases and providing us with important data about production centers as well as about commercial relations, daily life, religious rituals and burial customs.
---------This congress aims to evaluate the ceramics from Thrace and its close perimeter from the Prehistorical Ages until the end of the Byzantine Empire. We cordially invite all colleagues to submit proposals for papers related to following topics:
I. Production Centers
-Local ceramic traditions
-Imported ceramics
II. Commercial Networks
- Circulation of imported pottery from different production centers
- Circulation of local ceramics from Thrace and its close vicinity
III. Geographical and Cultural Context
- Evaluating the survey and excavation material
- Ceramics used in daily life, religious rituals and burial customs
-----Conference languages are Turkish, English, German and French. The deadline for submitting proposals and abstracts (max. 300 words) is December 30, 2016, to: thrace.congress@gmail.com The organisers will review proposals and respond by January 15, 2017.

gefundenen Fragmente einer Keramikgruppe klassischer und frühhellenistischer Zeit, die von Athen ihren Ausgang genommen hat. Sie wird in der englishsprachigen Literatur bereits in den frühesten Publikationen und auch heute noch weitgehend „black-glazed ware“ genannt. In einigen Publikationen wird sie als „black-glossed ware“ bzw. nur als „black“ bezeichnet. In der deutschsprachigen Literatur stehen auch heute noch zwei Bezeichnungen nebeneinander: „Schwarze Glanztonware“ und die schon seit langem eingeführte Bezeichnung „Schwarzfirnisware“ , die bekanntlich eigentlich nicht korrekt ist.
Die hier zusammengestellte Exemplare der schwarzen Glanztonkeramik aus Priene stammen aus den im Herbst 1998 unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. W. Raeck begonnenen Ausgrabungen im Rahmen des Projektes „Stadtentwicklung, Wohnverhältnisse und Lebensbedingungen im antiken Priene“.

For this purpose a ceramic catalogue, which forms a basis of this study, is prepared. Insofar the subjects of the depicted scenes on the vases are determined on the available sherds. On the other hand for each piece discussed, vase painter or date range are suggested in consideration of depicted scene and its style. In this way some data
about the variety of the forms, figured scenes and chronological distribution of the material has been gained. The data has been analyzed according to the distribution of the finds in different periods and different find places in the excavations. What observed for Ainos are interpreted in consideration of socio- economic conditions and religious practices.

ESA, ESB and ESC are the most frequently represented groups in archaeological deposits from the region. On the other hand, distribution of the Eastern Sigillata shows great diversity in different periods. The earliest ESA finds from Ionia are documented in the archaeological deposits from the second half of the 2nd century BC. By the second half of the 1st century BC, the three main genres of the Eastern Sigillata; ESA, ESB and ESC emerge in the archaeological contexts contemporarily. At this time ESA is the dominant group among the Eastern Sigillata. On the other hand, by the beginning of the 1st century AD, ESB shows a clear increase in quantity. In the period of Flavius Dynasty ESB finds cover almost the entire quantity of available Eastern Sigillata from the different residential contexts at Ephesos Hanghaus II. The finds from different deposits in Magnesia on the Meander and Samos support these data. By the middle of the 2nd century BC, ESC reached a notable quantity. However, ESB remains as the most represented group among the Eastern Sigillata from the region until the second half of the 2nd century AD. Also, the origin of the available finds from Ionia shows a great variety: Imports of ESA and ESC are documented among the available finds. An extensive amount of the ESB finds show the fabric characteristics of the Meander Valley. Apart from these, the local imitations of the Eastern Sigillata are also available in the Ionian deposits. A systematic comparison with other centers from
Asia Minor, Greece, Eastern Mediterranean and the Italian Peninsula reveal the distinctive character of the Eastern Sigillata from Ionia both in origin and chronological distribution.

Late Antique Sigillata From Adramytteion (Ören/Balıkesir): A Comparative Material Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to present the range of fine wares used at Adramytteion (modern Ören-Balıkesir) in late antiquity.

Abstract: Thin walled pottery was produced in Italy between the late II nd century B.C. to the III rd century A.D. Scanty examples from find spots in Western Asia Minor are extensive in Early Roman deposits. Available finds from the trenches WB59, S61 and also from Heroon III, Heroon I, the South Baths and the Bishops Palace, present an overwiew of the spectrum of thin walled pottery from Miletus. Ellipsoidal and conical beakers from the late I st century B.C. and the early I st century A.D. form the most frequently represented group amongst finds from the early Roman Period. Boccalina a Collarina Type Jugs with a cone shaped rim are represented in deposits dating from the II nd and III rd century A.D. The available finds from Miletos provide a close analogy with examples from western Asia Minor. Some of the ellipsoidal and conical beakers are from a micaceaous Meander clay. Among the finds from the Early Roman Period, Cnidian carinated cups with thumb impressions and Urnetta Collarina type jugs, probably of Northern Aegean origin, were also found. Among the later types of Boccalino a Collarino jugs (with cone shaped rim) from the III rd century A.D., an example from the Phocean workshop was identified. Available data indicates Italian thin walled pottery was not favoured in Miletus, as was the case with other cities of Ionia.
The geographical location of the Eastern Thrace between Greece, Asia Minor and Black Sea is a determining factor for the import and export potential of the region.

Following this period Odryssian Kingdom emerged as a political actor in the region. Macedonian Kingdom took over the contol in the middle of the 4th century BC. Eastern Thrace was included in the Roman borders officially through the establishment of the Provincia Thrakia in 46 BC.
In Eastern Thrace, as is the case in Thrace which played host to different civilisations throughout its history, the pottery finds show great variety. On the other hand considering the potential of the region it is clear that the present publications about Greek and Roman Pottery from the Region remain scanty. The planned congress, which will take place at the end of 2016 at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University/İstanbul, will hopefully be a step forward and contribute to overcome the deficincies.
The present article deals with the Hellenistic and Roman pottery collected during the Karataş-Survey in 2007 at the
site of the orthogonal settlement. Since the discovery of ruins in 1811 by F. Beaufort at Cape Karataş (Adana Province,
Eastern Cilicia), scholars have discussed whether they belonged to Mallos or to its port and sanctuary Magarsos.
Today it is usually agreed that the settlement encircled with fortifications on Cape Karataş belong to Magarsos.
The earliest examples of Hellenistic fine ceramics from Karataş are the black-glazed pottery dating to the end of the
4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The sherds, which can be compared with material from the deposits of
Syrio-Palestinian sites (3rd-1st centuries BC), comprises mainly Hellenistic Colour-Coated pottery. Hellenistic and
Roman Eastern Sigillata A (ESA) forms are also documented. The latest examples of Roman Period are Eastern Sigillata
B (ESB) dating to the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The coarse pottery assemblage comprises mainly storage, transport
and kitchen vessels with light coloured fabric and displays a variety of forms including craters, mortaria, amphorae,
and cooking vessels. The earliest examples can be compared with the ceramics of the 3rd century BC from different
deposits in Syrio-Palestinian and Cypriot sites. A cooking pot (lopas), is the latest datable sherd among the coarse
wares. Typological analogies with the findings from Tarsus and Knossos allow us to classify this type to Middle Roman
Period.

-----FIRST CIRCULAR------
Thrace, nowadays part of Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey, is an important passageway between the Aegean and the Black Sea; the Balkan region and Asia Minor. The archaeological records indicate that Thrace was settled already in the Prehistorical Ages. From the 7th century BC onwards the influence of Western Anatolia and Greece can be followed in the material culture as a result of colonisation movements and commercial activities. After the Persian Invasions in 5th century BC and the Hegemony of Odyrs Dynasty, the region came under the control of Macedonia in 346 BC. During the Roman Empire Thrace
received the status of ‘Provincia Thracia’. After the fall of Western Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire dominated the region until the 8th century AD. Pottery is one of the most important archaeological category reflecting the cultural traces of the different political phases and providing us with important data about production centers as well as about commercial relations, daily life, religious rituals and burial customs.
---------This congress aims to evaluate the ceramics from Thrace and its close perimeter from the Prehistorical Ages until the end of the Byzantine Empire. We cordially invite all colleagues to submit proposals for papers related to following topics:
I. Production Centers
-Local ceramic traditions
-Imported ceramics
II. Commercial Networks
- Circulation of imported pottery from different production centers
- Circulation of local ceramics from Thrace and its close vicinity
III. Geographical and Cultural Context
- Evaluating the survey and excavation material
- Ceramics used in daily life, religious rituals and burial customs
-----Conference languages are Turkish, English, German and French. The deadline for submitting proposals and abstracts (max. 300 words) is December 30, 2016, to: thrace.congress@gmail.com The organisers will review proposals and respond by January 15, 2017.

ele geçmiş olan, silindir sapı kabartma bir koçbaşı ile sonlanan pişmiş toprak bir patera oluşturmaktadır. Paralelleri Oinophoros Grubu repertuvarında yer alan hayvan başı saplı, madalyonlu patera lardır. Patera, kap formu, figür tipolojisi, kil ve astar özellikleri dikkate alınarak Knidos üretimi olarak sınıfl ndırılmıştır. Knidos üretimi hayvan başı saplı, madalyonlu pateralar Batı Anadolu’daki kentler ve Alexandreia başta olmak üzere, sırasıyla Atina, Korinth ve Karadeniz’in kuzey kıyılarında da ele geçmiştir. Miletos paterası paralel örnekler ışığında MS 1.-2. yüzyıla tarihlenmektedir.
Milesian Patera, with a cylindrical handle terminating in ram head was
found in a residential area close to the south city walls. Considering the
typology and fabric charakteristics it can be compared with medaillon
bowls of Oinophoros Ware and classified as Knidian manufacture. Western Asia Minor, Aegean Islands and Egypt being in the first place oinophoroi were demanded in many centers. In the light of parallel examples from the west Anatolian deposits Milesian Patera can be dated to 1st-2nd centuries CE. Knidian medaillion bowls were identified in Knidos and many other sites in western Anatolia but also in Alexandreia, Athens on the North shore of the Black Sea.
ABSTRACT
Late Antique Sigillata From Adramytteion (Ören/Balıkesir): A Comparative Material Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to present the range of fine wares used at Adramytteion (modern Ören-Balıkesir) in late antiquity. Specimens were acquired from various parts of the city during excavations in 2012–2013. A particularly large quantity of late antique sigillata was found from a sondage (S9) near Bergaztepe between areas A and B, suggesting late antique occupation of the area. Late antique sigillata finds were also made from Area A in the modern city center and the nearby Area E located to the northeast. In both areas, remains of buildings were unearthed that were apparently used as warehouses in the 12th–13th centuries. A few examples were also obtained from Area D. Architectural remains in this area are associated with a residential complex.
The material presented here documents the changing patterns of fine ware consumption at Adramytteion in late antiquity. The available specimens consist of ARS (African Red Slip), LRC (Late Roman C), and LRLCW (Late Roman Light Colored Ware) plates and bowls dated from the 3rd to early 7th centuries AD based on typological characteristics. The earliest examples of ARS ware can be traced to the 3rd century. However, the small number of finds suggests less demand for ARS during the 3rd century. Archaeological deposits from the various parts of the city indicate that ESC (Eastern Sigillata C) was the predominant fine ware in the 3rd and early 4th centuries. A slight increase can be observed in ARS imports from the mid-4th century onward. As is the case across the Mediterranean area, however, probably because of the Vandal invasions in Africa, quantities of ARS ware decreased steadily in the following period. ARS continued to be imported until the beginning of the 7th century, though
only in very limited quantities after the 6th century. Form 108 represents the latest datable specimen in this category. Given the evidence provided in this study, it can be stated that the fine ware market in Adramytteion was clearly dominated by LRC ware, especially from the second half of the 5th century onward. Of the late antique sigillata, 69% consists of LRC. The earliest specimens represented within the LRC spectrum belong to Form 1. Most examples are assigned to Hayes Form 3. The later forms from the 6th and early 7th centuries (forms 5, 8, and 10) are each represented by one or two fragments. The latest datable specimen, belonging to Hayes Form 10, is assigned to the early 7th century AD. Late antique fine ware from Adramytteion also includes LRLCW (Late Roman Light Colored Ware). Finds from Parion and Antandros closely resemble the LRCW finds from Adramytteion.
Abstract: Thin walled pottery was produced in Italy between the late II nd century B.C. to the III rd century A.D. Scanty examples from find spots in Western Asia Minor are extensive in Early Roman deposits. Available finds from the trenches WB59, S61 and also from Heroon III, Heroon I, the South Baths and the Bishops Palace, present an overwiew of the spectrum of thin walled pottery from Miletus. Ellipsoidal and conical beakers from the late I st century B.C. and the early I st century A.D. form the most frequently represented group amongst finds from the early Roman Period. Boccalina a Collarina Type Jugs with a cone shaped rim are represented in deposits dating from the II nd and III rd century A.D. The available finds from Miletos provide a close analogy with examples from western Asia Minor. Some of the ellipsoidal and conical beakers are from a micaceaous Meander clay. Among the finds from the Early Roman Period, Cnidian carinated cups with thumb impressions and Urnetta Collarina type jugs, probably of Northern Aegean origin, were also found. Among the later types of Boccalino a Collarino jugs (with cone shaped rim) from the III rd century A.D., an example from the Phocean workshop was identified. Available data indicates Italian thin walled pottery was not favoured in Miletus, as was the case with other cities of Ionia.
The geographical location of the Eastern Thrace between Greece, Asia Minor and Black Sea is a determining factor for the import and export potential of the region. The Greeks started to colonise the region from the 7th century BC onwards. From the end of the 6th century BC, Eastern Thrace fall under the Persian dominance. Following this period Odryssian Kingdom emerged as a political actor in the region. Macedonian Kingdom took over the contol in the middle of the 4th century BC. Eastern Thrace was included in the Roman borders officially through the establishment of the Provincia Thrakia in 46 BC.
In Eastern Thrace, as is the case in Thrace which played host to different civilisations throughout its history, the pottery finds show great variety. On the other hand considering the potential of the region it is clear that the present publications about Greek and Roman Pottery from the Region remain scanty. The planned congress, which will take place at the end of 2016 at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University/İstanbul, will hopefully be a step forward and contribute to overcome the deficincies.
