in: Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 21, 983-994. Eretria, in the centre of the Aegean (Greece), has been the focus of an interdisciplinary programme that combines macroscopic, petrographic and elemental analysis in a diachronic investigation of pottery production and supply on the site from the early third millennium (Early Bronze Age) to the end of the first millennium BCE (Hellenistic period). This paper reviews the preliminary results of the analyses of the pottery of historical times, mainly from the Geometric to the Hellenistic periods (phase II of the Eretria pottery project). It presents the compositional and technological characteristics of the local fabrics and offers examples of how continuity and innovation characterise different aspects of Eretria's pottery production. In addition, different categories of imported vessels that arrived in Eretria are investigated in order to recognize the origin of these specific products.
Macedonia (Greece) holds a special place in the research of Hellenistic pottery in Greece. The rich pottery evidence discovered in large numbers in most sites in this region constituted the material around which some of the earlier and truly seminal monographs for the field of Hellenistic pottery were organized. Building on this important scholarly tradition, research on the Hellenistic pottery of Macedonia remains very vibrant today, producing on a yearly basis a number of papers/monographs greatly surpassing that of any other area in Greece. As a result, a fairly satisfying picture of the Hellenistic pottery of the region is painted, although many research questions are still open. Nevertheless, the Hellenistic ceramic reality of Macedonia is frequently not well known outside Greece for a number of reasons. The proposed panel aspires to offer a partial remedy to this situation. The panel will consist of four papers following an introduction presented by the two organizers. These papers cover a wide spectrum of topics aiming at the presentation of characteristic and crucial aspects in the research of Hellenistic pottery in Macedonia.
