For the pottery and for the potters: an ergonomic approach to ceramic production in Ancient Italy

Contribution in the Panel 3.7 Organization of Production and Crafts in Pre-Roman Italy (N. Burkhardt - R. P. Krämer), at the 19th AIAC-ICCA Congress 'Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World', Cologne-Bonn 22th-26th may 2018 This paper proposes to analyse the organization of the work within italic and etruscan ceramic workshops (7th-2nd c. B.C.). The ergonomic approach takes in consideration the efficiency of a workshop, as the whole of structural conditions, which allow to produce more and better with lower energy costs. The research question focuses on the relationship between production and organisation of the work, in particular if the workshops are focussed on the products, on the producers or on the satisfaction of the demand. The following three parameters are taken in account for the quantitative and qualitative analysis: integration of the workshop in the commodity system (proximity to sources and roads, destination of the products); structural organisation within the workshop and workflows (working times, steps, paths and proceeding); dimensions of the production. For each parameter I will present some concrete case-study in different regions. The elaboration of ergonomic diagramm of production and the observation of the value given to producers and products will be related to the political and economic system in which the workshops were embedded. Through the longitudinal analysis of the archaeological data, the paper aims to detct analogy and differences in the concept of ergonomics within different political and economic systems and mentalities of pre-roman Itlay.

Consumption Behaviors and Economic Mentalities of Migrants in Late Hellenistic Etruria,

Contribution in the Panel 1.3 The Economic Contribution of Migrants to Ancient Societies. Technological transfer, integration, exploitation and interaction of economic mentalities , 19th AIAC-ICCA Congress 'Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World' Cologne-Bonn 22-26.05.2018 The paper aims to analyze the contribution of migrants to the economy of local communities in late Hellenistic northern Etruria. The main research question focuses on the consumption behaviors of migrants and on how their representation in funerary context could be affected, on a hand, by homelandtraditions and trade-networks and, on another hand, by the attempt to get integrated or accepted in the new country. Some case study from different geographical regions will be taken in account, in particular the necropoleis of Castiglioncello and Populonia on the coast, these around the Trasimene Lake and these in the inland of Volterra. Through the combination of network analysis and analysis of the identity markers within the gravegoods of the late Hellenistic necropoleis one will first individuate graves of migrants within the Etruscan communities. Following, one will compare the position of the consumption behaviors of migrants in the clusterization of grave-goods of the necropoleis. The choices related to the purchase of goods and their exhibition will be reviewed as an expression of cultural and social identities of migrants. The coexistence of different economic mentalities will be discuss as factors of innovation and conflict in local 21 communities. Finally, consumerism will be taken in consideration to understand dynamics of interaction, integration and segregation http://www.aiac2018.de/\_media/AIAC2018\_abstract-book.pdf

I. Vassiliadou, Pierian-Macedonian pitch. A brand name agricultural product of ancient Macedonia

Propylaeum eBooks-19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology Cologne/Bonn, 22 – 26 May 2018, 2018

Pitch residues found on pitched sherds mainly of wine vessels or on coated pieces of wood as well as freestanding remains of pitch pieces, revealed from various archaeological sites of ancient Macedonia, were identified as the pitch of Pieria of Herodotus «...τῆς Πιερικῆς πίσσης...», the later Macedonian pitch of both literary and epigraphical sources. The main objectives of this paper are, on the one hand, to present the pierian-macedonian pitch, a royal agricultural product, as a whole from classical to roman period and, on the other hand, to highlight issues such as its management, trade and distribution throughout the Mediterranean world according to literary, epigraphical and archeological evidence. Matters of technical diversities of the procedure of pitch production in the Greco-Roman world will be pinpointed, based on both archaeological and literary evidence.
