The UseLife of Dolia
Most dolia were probably used in or around either an agricultural compound or a horrea storehouse . Two or three rows of dolia were also sometimes positioned along the keel of a merchant ship, apparently cemented in place to prevent their shifting, functioning as fixed receptacles for the transport of wine Tchernia 1986 138-40 Aubert 1994 260-61 . As has been seen, the pricing evidence indicates that their acquisition represented a very substantial investment of funds, and, given their great...
previous research
The Syro-Palestinian littoral, commonly known as the Levant, is now taken up by six modern nation states Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and the Palestine Autonomy. This configuration and the political instability in the region over the last fifty years have influenced archaeological research, and any interpretation of distribution patterns in this area is hazardous. This is true also for the distribution of Mycenaean pottery, which has been found at 111 sites, from Charchemish site no....

Dating
Even though the kiln produced light-on-dark patterned pottery, and there is no evidence that it ever fired vases decorated with dark-painted motifs on a lustrous buff ground, there are compelling reasons for dating its lifetime to the advanced and final stages of LM IA, as they are now defined at Kommos. Until recently, the LM IA phase at Kommos was poorly known through a few stratified contexts on the Hillside and Hilltop. In their publications of this material, Betancourt and Watrous divided...
Textual Evidence
The fifth and final form of evidence for the reuse of amphorae as packaging containers is textual evidence. This consists of two inscriptions from Rome that suggests that amphorae were regularly reused in west central Italy for the packaging of wine at two different points during the imperial period and a passage from Pliny the Elder that may refer to the reuse of oil amphorae for the packaging of cabbages. The first of the two epigraphical texts is an epitaph probably dating to the period ca....

Peddling Pottery
The Catawba potters draw from a peddling tradition with deep roots and excel at using their forefathers' bartering techniques when trading Merrell 1989 31 . The Catawba have probably always dealt in pottery. As mentioned, John Lawson noted their eighteenth-century trade in pipes. The Catawba claimed a trade network that covered the entire 55,000 square miles occupied by Catawban speakers and beyond to nations with which they maintained friendly relations. Clearly, the Indians had other viable...

Decoration only see catalogue entry. Decoration only see catalogue entry. The inventoried kraters show a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. It cannot be determined, however, how many of these kraters, Corinthian or Attic, were service vessels in the dining rooms and how many were votives. Fragments of kraters, decorated and plain, were found in Sanctuary strata until the Hellenistic period. It is probable that plain and black-glazed kraters mostly Corinthian, but a few uninventoried Attic...
Reuse as a UrinalUrine Container

the role of mycenaean pottery in the material culture of thapsos
Mycenaean, Cypriot and Maltese imported pottery form only a small part of the ceramic record in the tombs at Thapsos. Maltese cups have been found in relative abundance in the settlement contemporary with the necropolis.41 The same cannot be said for Myceanean - or Cypriot - pottery, which appears to have been scarce among the settlement finds.42 This could indicate that Mycenaean pottery 36 Tombs nos. 10, 38, A1, XXI 47. 37 Tomb XXI 47 produced two Base Ring II ware vessels and one White...

Reuse as a Funnel
It seems likely that amphora tops detached at the level of the upper wall or shoulder and with the handles removed and or amphora bottoms from classes that terminated in something other than a solid spike with holes drilled or punched through their bases were regularly employed as funnels. Although examples of both kinds of items are regularly recovered in archaeological contexts compatible with their use as funnels, it remains impossible to demonstrate that they were, in fact, employed for...

funerary contexts Ttv
In total, sixty-seven tombs from Thapsos have been published, including the nine enchytrismoi.14 Mycenaean pottery has been reported from twenty-two of these, as is indicated in Table 16.1 below. Such a figure could indicate that only a minority of the tombs contained Mycenaean pottery. However, the heavy disturbances in many of the funerary cellars, as well as the small number of Aegean vessels in most of the tombs, argues for caution in this respect. Little can be said about the spatial...

conclusions
In each of the three areas which have been the focus of this study, Mycenaean pottery is completely different from the products of the local and regional potting-industries. In the Levant, during the Late Bronze Age, potters had returned to using a slow wheel for ceramic production and painted decoration was not very common.55 In Cyprus, even though a standardised wheel-made ceramic industry developed during LC IIC, pottery generally was handmade and comprised a comparatively restricted range...
social groups to be associated with mycenaean pottery
The evidence from Ugarit and Hazor indicates that Mycenaean pottery, as a general class of material, was widely used by various social groups in these cities. The widespread use of Mycenaean pottery among urban population groups is evident at other sites in the Levant as well. Many of the Mycenaean finds reported from Alalakh site no. 137 cannot be ascribed to architectural structures with certainty, but at least some of them have been found in buildings meant for habitation.14 Indeed, in...

the range of mycenaean vessel types
From the overview presented in the previous section it is clear that the repertoire of Mycenaean pottery outside the Aegean encompasses a wide range of open and closed pot shapes. In order to identify patterns in the contextual distribution of such a wide range of vessels, they need to be classified in a suitable framework. In a study dealing with the use and appreciation of the vessels themselves, a classi- twenty-three analysed sherds fell into the Berbati Balensi 1980, 485. Open shapes are...

The Cherokee Trade
After World War I, Americans became infatuated with the automobile. As the number of cars increased, the roads were improved, and the grid of our modern highway system began to take shape. It was not long before adventurous tourists began to straggle into the Great Smoky Mountains to visit the Cherokee Indians. Naturally, these individuals wanted mementos of Indian country. As the number of visitors grew, the enterprising Cherokee were quick to recognize and develop a market for arts and...
Building Pots
The beginning Catawba potter faces many problems, one of which is learning a wide variety of construction techniques that follow a fixed number of steps. So well established are the methods followed by the Catawba that the Indians refer to the work as building pots. Those familiar with aboriginal American pottery-making methods and who have seen the Catawba at work are aware of the antiquity of the Catawba way. So conservative is the tradition that the results obtained today are almost...

Professionalism and the Catawba Potters
Due recognition has come slowly to the Catawba potters. The signing of Catawba pottery vessels is a relatively recent practice, and today collectors expect to see signatures on the bottom of the vessels they purchase. As is often the case, however, even the most modern Catawba innovations often have deep roots that reach into the past. Some Catawba began to write on the bottom of their vessels following the Civil War. To date, the oldest example of a signed Catawba pot was found on the old Head...

the role of mycenean pottery in the material culture of enkomi
Apart from the Mycenaean vessels, few other objects produced in the Aegean have been found at Enkomi. A bronze jug from the main burial chamber of Sw. T. 18, dated to LC IIC, is certainly not Cypriot in shape and finds its best parallels in the Aegean.120 Considering the extensive evidence for copper working at Enkomi, however, it is possible that this jug was produced at Enkomi itself. A silver Vapheio-cup in British tomb 92 shows that an Aegean vessel in precious metal was imported already at...
Conclusion
The Catawba pottery tradition is alive and well. The craft remains a strong reflection of what the Catawbas' ancestors made before the coming of the white man. The pottery is still closely tied to the Indians' economy. Today, however, the potters are amazed to learn the prices demanded by their predecessors. The smoking pipe that sold for 10 cents in 1900 sells for a minimum of 45 dollars or more today. The same is true of every other shape produced by the potters. Making Ca-tawba pottery is...

Teaching the Craft
The teaching of the Catawba pottery tradition is guarded jealously. The Indians have always been determined to keep their tribal possession in their hands. One of the major concerns among the potters regarding tribal-based research for this book was that non-Catawba might learn Catawba construction methods. It was finally decided that pottery making is widely taught at every educational level, and Catawba methods would be of little interest to outsiders Samuel Beck, interview, 3 May 1977, BC ....

The Catawba still know some alternate clay holes by name or vague location. Doris Blue remembered a lost clay hole I remember they used to come down below Edna's to get clay below where we lived then. Sarah Harris was a tall lady, and all the old ladies were so thin, so slim.

In total, five Mycenaean vessels and one derivative of Syro-Palestinian manufacture have been published from Tell Deir 'Alla see Catalogue IV . One of these five vessels cat. no. 2 may have a Minoan origin.11 Since none of the pots has been subject to scientific provenance research, the origin of the vessels cannot be established with certainty. However, in view of the provenances for Mycenaean pottery in Palestine in general, it is conceivable that most of the vessels at Deir 'Alla were...
Design Motifs
To add extra decorative elements to their wares, many Catawba potters employ incised designs. Unfortunately, while archaeologists often excavate incised Catawba pieces in their digs, to date no one has found a site that reveals the complete body of Catawba motifs. This is true even for the area within just a few miles of the Catawba Reservation and historic living sites in both York and Lancaster counties in South Carolina. In the summer of 2002, the University of North Carolina at Chapel...
