A significant number of vessels classified as “Macedonian” amphorae or amphorae of Macedonian type has been recorded in the region of ancient Epirus. Almost all the examples found in Epirus (Northwestern Greece) and southern Albania share common morphological features such as a spherical body, a continuous profile and a calyx-shaped rim. The particular shape of the Epirote amphorae differs from the main varieties of the type in Macedonia, while it is mostly related to examples discovered in Boeotia, Phthiotis and Thessaly. Most of the examples from Epirus were found in burial contexts, although some fragments from the residential area of Phoenike, capital of ancient Chaonia, along with few pieces from the Agora complex in Elea, Thesprotia, are also known. An amphorae assemblage, discovered in the warehouse of a late Hellenistic farmstead at the location Episkopi in the plain of Ioannina, which was destroyed in the first quarter of the 1st c. BC, gives us the occasion to attempt a chronological and typological classification of the Macedonian type amphorae in the region of ancient Epirus. The amphorae from Episkopi, some of which bear stamps possibly indicating a workshop, trade symbols or the amount of product stored inside them, testify to another use of these vessels, which could serve commercial redistribution of products throughout mainland Epirus.

In 1971, a cist-tomb cluster was excavated by Ioulia Vokotopoulou, at the modern village Gardiki in the valley of Kokytos river, in the region of Thesprotia, Epirus. A group of “Pseudo-cypriot” amphorae, which served as funerary urns, was included among the grave offerings. An unguentarium of the same category, which was found in a cist tomb in the cemetery of the ancient city of Gitana, completes the assemblage of “Pseudo-cypriot” vessels hitherto discovered in the region of Thesprotia.
An accurate chronology for the vases under examination was possible by studying them in comparison with the other finds of their burial contexts, along with parallels from other regions of the Hellenistic world. In addition, based on their shape, decorative patterns and fabric, we suggest that the “pseudo-cypriot” amphorae from Gardiki could have been products of the well-known ceramic workshop of Ambracia. The “Pseudo-cypriot” unguentarium from Gitana shares similarities to relevant vases from Aiginion and Pydna in Macedonia.

TWO YEARS OF THE RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION PROJECT,
IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE REGIONAL OPERATIONAL PROGRAM
“EPIRUS 2014-2020”

The ancient city of Gitana, founded in the mid-4th century BC, served as the political center for the Thesprotian ethnos or Koinon. It was built according to an organized urban planning and had important public buildings, among them the only stone-built theater found in Thesprotia.
The theater of Gitana has been systematically excavated since 1996, under the direction of the Emeritus Ephor of Antiquities Kalliopi Preka-Alexandri. The monument presents large-scale damage, mainly due to ground instability and groundwater action. The essay outlines the general principles of the «Study for the restoration and enhancement of the scene building, the orchestra and the central part of the theater of Gitana» and presents the work done for the restoration of the monument during the first two years of the project which is currently under way, beginning in late 2015, in the framework of the Regional Operational Program of Epirus 2014-2020.

According to the evidence of finds, the building was destroyed by fire around the first quarter of the 1st cent. B. C. The assemblage mainly consists of Lamboglia 2 type amphorae produced in central and northern Adriatic Sea. Furthermore, types from Sicily and the central Mediterranean, as well as local/regional amphorae of “Macedonian type” have also been recorded. The remarkably homogeneous assemblage provides important archaeological evidence about the trade and distribution of products from Italy to the hinterland of Epirus. In addition, it highlights the importance of the harbor of Actium at the entrance of the Ambracian Gulf, before the foundation of Actia Nikopolis by Augustus in 28 B. C.

Strabo describes Epirus at the end of the first century B. C. as a deserted region with cities in ruins. However, extended surveys and archaeological excavations over the last 30 years suggest that many Epirote settlements survived the major setbacks of 167 and 29 B. C. At the same time, it has been difficult to interpret the political and economic function of the old Epirote cities that were or were not destroyed under the Roman rule. The present paper attempts to interpret the function of these settlements from 167 B. C. to 29 B. C. by providing a synthesis of the ceramic evidence from both older and more recent excavations. This contextual approach on pottery finds recovered from the major Epirote cities, such as Gitana and Cassope, will shed light to the function of the local economy and of the product exchange. The authors hope that this study will aid to a better understanding of these imposing walled settlements that still dominate the Epirote landscape.

The numerous settlements in this region experienced continuous, often uninterrupted, habitation from the Late Bronze Age to the Hellenistic or even Roman Imperial period. The foundation of fortified settlements/acropoleis in the late fourth to early third century BC should no longer be interpreted as a result of a synoecism, since unfortified villages continued to flourish. From the Augustan period onwards, Romans seem to have settled in the area, although it is also possible that the local population adopted Roman habits.

The fortified settlement-acropolis on Kastri hill, near the modern village of Megalo Gardiki, formed part of the archaeological research carried out in the 1950s, when D. Evangelidis considered the identity of the site to be the ancient city of Passaron, religious and political center of the Molossoi. This view was strongly supported by S. Dakaris, a few years later. At the same period, in 1962, the first law for the official protection of the site was issued by the Ministry of Culture. The first excavations and the topographic depiction of the visible remains of the acropolis were begun in the early 1990s by the then curator of antiquities K. Zachos. The legal status for the protection of the ancient settlement and its wider region was further strengthened by the establishment of protection areas throughout the Kastri hill. In the framework of successive projects which focused to the enhancement of the archaeological site and were included within Regional Operational Programs (2002-2007 and 2011-2015), new data on the chronological span, the successive phases of habitation and the urban plan of the fortified settlement on Kastri hill have emerged.

In the basin of Ioannina, a large number of small unfortified settlements have been revealed. The sites are located close to each other’s, at a distance of 2-3 kms. On the basis of the archaeological material, particularly the pottery, we could conclude that most of the sites were in use for a long period, in most cases from Late Bronze-Early Iron Age to the Hellenistic or Roman periods. This observation concerns sites recorded as “prehistoric” by the previous research, as well as sites that have been systematically excavated during the last years. The settlements on the hills of Kastritsa and Megalo Gardiki constitute more likely an exception. The density of the
settlement pattern, in correlation with the long duration of the sites, poses additional matters for discussion such as the seasonal or permanent installation as well as the chronological span of the handmade pottery production.

Ρωτούσε, άκουγε και υιοθετούσε αυτό που υπηρετούσε την υπόθεσή μας. Ενδιαφερόταν για την τεχνολογία των πήλινων αγγείων και τη χρήση τους και χαιρόταν με τα μικρά πράγματα, τα παιχνίδια.

Αγαπούσε τους τεχνίτες και τους τεχνικούς. Ο στόχος της προστασίας και της ανάδειξης των πραγμάτων των μνημείων προέκυπτε από την πλούσια γνώση της επιστήμης. Ενεργούσε με γνώση αλλά και με απέραντη, όμως κρυμμένη, αγάπη για όλους και όλα.

Strabo describes Epirus at the end of the first century BC as a practically deserted region with cities in ruins. Further, these Hellenistic cities have been interpreted by archaeologists as abandoned and "dead", especially after the foundation of Nicopolis in 29 BC. However, extended surveys and archaeological excavations over the last 30 years suggest that many Epirote settlements survived the major setbacks of 167 and 29 BC. At the same time, it has been very hard to interpret the political and economic function of the old Epirote destroyed and non-destroyed cities under the Roman rule. The present paper attempts to interpret the function of these settlements after 167 BC by offering a synthesis of the ceramic evidence from old and more recent excavations. This contextual and quantified approach of pottery finds recovered from the major Epirote cities, such as Gitana and Kassope, will aid to a better understanding of the local economy in relation to the adjacent rural sites and of the product exchange at an interregional level. The political status of these settlements as Polis will also be discussed with the examination of coins of the Epirote League discovered in the same context with pottery. The present author hopes that this study will aid to a better understanding of these imposing walled settlements and urban centres that still dominate the Epirote landscape.

Revealing an urban and political center in Thesprotia, Northwestern Greece" The ancient city of Gitana is the largest and most well-known archaeological site in Thesprotia (Northwestern Greece). It was founded around the middle of the 4th c. B.C. and was abandoned in the last decades of the 1st c. B.C. Apart from its organized urban plan and public buildings such as the Prytaneion and the Theater, further evidence points to the city as the political center of the Thesprotians who were probably organized into a Koinon (League). The discovery of inscriptions mentioning the name of a prostates (magistrate) along with the archive of approximately 3,000 clay sealings for validating documents, as well as the numerous names which are engraved on the hedolia (seats) of the theater denoting acts of slave manumission, testify to the significance of the city.
