This is a published doctoral thesis in Turkish language at the Dokuz Eylül University, submitted by Gülseren Kan Şahin in 2015. In this dissertation pottery finds from Hadrianopolis and its chora in southwestern Paphlagonia (northwestern central Turkey) are presented in detail, which were collected between the years 2005 and 2008. A version of this thesis in English language is already published in 2016 as a part of BAR International Series (no. 2786) and in Turkish language in 2019 as a part of publication series of Turkish Historical Society.
Paphlagonia was an ancient region on the Black Sea coast of north-central Anatolia, bordered by Bithynia to the west, Pontus to the east and Galatia to the south. Today, Hadrianopolis and its chora lie in the region around Eskipazar in the Turkish province of Karabük. Between 2005 and 2008 an archaeological team from the Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir carried out archaeological field surveys, excavations and restorations in Hadrianopolis and its close surroundings. During these four field campaigns, 1550 sherds ranging between the Pre-Iron Age (IInd mill. BC.) and the Middle Byzantine period (late 11th/early 12th cent. AD.) were collected, most of which consisted of Late Roman-Early Byzantine (late 5th-mid 8th cent. AD.) coarse ware. In this study 30 main pottery groups were constituted, based on their chronology, function and fabric. The book contains a detailed description of each find deposit, including the typologies and fabrics of wares and a comprehensive catalogue with drawings, as well as photos, of each sherd. It is, thus, the first extensive pottery report of the Turkish Black Sea area, offering a continual picture of all the wares and chronologies available, including their chronologies.

progress". So say those in the know about this unique Swiss watch company, where each and every moment moves forward to create the future at breathtaking speed. Hublot's reputation dates back three decades: during this era, it was the first Swiss watch luxury brand to fuse precious metals with less conventional materials such as natural rubber. This creative concept, known as the "Art of Fusion", combined with an original design, led to a veritable revolution in the watchmaking industry.

Qal‘at ‘Aïsha is a fortress located in the Mount Lebanon range that was discovered during an archaeological survey by the author. Built on a rocky peak 2,219 m above sea level, this stronghold is surrounded by hostile rugged terrain and subject to extreme weather conditions, including low temperatures and abundant snow for six to seven months a year. Qal‘at ‘Aïsha enjoys a unique location with an unimpeded view of the coastline between Ras al-Bassit, Syria, and Batrun, Lebanon. The pottery sherds collected from the site are few, but these few fragments attest to human settlement and occupation
between the Chalcolithic and the Late Roman period.

Sardis became a city sometime in the early first millennium BCE, and it remained the largest urban center in Lydia for a period of about 1500 years. Over that time its fortunes and character changed, as did its relationship with its large, fertile, rural surroundings. In this paper I examine this relationship during a span of three to four hundred years, from the 5th/4th through the 2nd/1st centuries BCE. I compare locally produced and imported pottery recovered in excavations at Sardis itself with that found by the Central Lydian Archaeological Survey (CLAS), an intensive field project covering about 350 km2 around the Gygean Lake. There is an odd, counter-intuitive, correlation between the political importance of Sardis and its rural settlement. During the city's years of political stature, survey results show that many people lived out in the hinterland, far from the city. In the second century BCE the pattern switched. After the Seleucid defeat at Magnesia (190 BCE), when Pergamon took control of Sardis and its territory, and the city became just another urban center, its political glory became a thing of the past. At this precise time, according to the CLAS survey data, the countryside emptied out and people moved back into the city. I consider the reasons behind this paradoxical situation, in which political stature and urban prosperity are seemingly at odds with one another.

ANDRONIKOS, Manolis; Vergina: The royal tombs and the ancient city; Athens, Ekdotike Athenon S. A., 1989, 244 pp., 28 cm. [ISBN 9602131284] Si hay algo que despierta la imaginación de los aficionados a la Historia y, más si cabe, de los profesionales que se dedican a ella, son los grandes descubrimientos arqueológicos. Los más importantes, hasta la fecha, se han realizado hace tanto tiempo que las publicaciones surgidas a su amparo abundan en cantidad y calidad; sin embargo, aún quedan hallazgos que, por la importancia de los personajes asociados a éstos, siguen cautivando a quienes están convencidos de poder desvelar sus secretos al resto de la humanidad. Hasta hace pocos años, uno de ellos era la supuesta tumba de Filipo II, hijo de Amintas, el más importante gobernante macedonio de la Antigüedad tra su propio hijo, Alejandro el Grande. Su supuesta morada fue descubierta por Manolis Andronikos, en 1977, cerca de la antigua capital macedonia de Egas, en la actual pequeña población de Vergina, situada en la región de Imathia, Macedonia Central.

From the Foreword by prof. David P. Peacock, University of Southampton, UK
This manual on pottery-making in antiquity is a compendium of almost everything bearing on the interpretation of ancient ceramics in antiquity Because of this, it is likely to remain a standard work for many years to come. Both the student and the more experienced researcher will benefit from this book and will find it easy to follow because of the lively presentation. The whole subject of ceramics is here, from clay acquisition to kilns and firing, backed with an extensive bibliography. It is a work of reference which should have a place on every archaeologist' s bookshelf from their first day at University until retirement
Part Two is titled Modern Laboratory Techniques and provides a summary of the most widely used scientific techniques which can aid the archaeologist in the understanding and interpretation of ancient ceramics.

The study of the pottery into the 21st century regards issues and problems that demand the collaboration of archaeologists
with various disciplines in order to be solved. As a sequence, Archaeology should employ sciences and through an interdisciplinary approach the most possible complete recognition, understanding and interpretation of the information hidden behind the sherds will be succeeded.
During the last decades the appropriate conditions for the interaction of the Archaeology with the physicochemical sciences have been created, due possibly also to the general expansion of technology in most scholarly fields. The result was the development of Archaeometry, a field that may contribute to the solution of various problems regarding the study of the pottery.
This paper focuses on the presentation of the possibilities offered by the Archaeometry to the study of the ancient Greek pottery. Through certain examples and questions, certain issues and problems such as dating, provenance, workshops, will be examined that can be approached with the contribution of the Archaeometry. In addition
the specific methods and techniques that can be applied in different cases will be presented.
Furthermore, various issues and possible information will be explored that can be extracted through the archaeometrical data. For example, the possibilities of Archaeometry in extending our knowledge in subjects such as the trade, economy and the social organization will be explored.

In the southern Levant, the Hellenistic Period officially began in August 332 BCE, when Alexander the Great successfully concluded his siege of Tyre and immediately turned south along the coast. In the few days that it took the Macedonian general to lead his troops to Gaza, Achaemenid control of the huge satrapy of The Land Beyond the River ceased and Macedonian rule began. “All of what is known as Syrian Palestine ... accepted Alexander’s control” reports the ancient historian Arrian (2.26), and he says no more about the thousands of people who lived through this momentous historical pivot point. This chapter provides a detailed, illustrated overview of the pottery of this entire region and era. Locally produced, household pottery is the single largest body of evidence relevant to reconstructing daily life throughout this region and era. Through this lens, one can read when and how the lifestyles of the peoples of Hellenistic Palestine changed.

The vast majority of papers (26) in the current volume stem from the international conference Sandanski and Its Territory during Prehistory, Antiquity and Middle Ages: Current Trends in Archaeological Research, organized by the American Research Center in Sofia, in collaboration with the Archaeological Museum in Sandanski, and held on September 17-20, 2015 in the town of Sandanski. Financial support was provided by the Municipality of Sandanski, the Archaeological Museum in Sandanski and the American Research Center in Sofia.The conference provided a forum for 30 scholars from Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Austria and USA to discuss their latest research on the archaeology and history of the Sandanski region.The main theme uniting most papers presented during the conference had to do with the attempt to synthesize the available sources for the study of the Roman predecessor of present-day Sandanski – Ulpia Parthicopolis. Using this relatively little known Roman town, nestled in the corner of Southwest Bulgaria, as a case study, the aim was also to provide a holistic view of the complex history of the Sandanski region, from prehistory until the middle ages. In that the current volume builds on, and diverges from, the previously held symposia in Blagoevgrad (September 20-24, 1977) and Sandanski (October 1-4, 2002), which were defined by overarching themes while celebrating particular anniversaries; 2050 and 2075 years since the Slave Revolt led by Spartacus and 2000 years since the establishment of Christianity. Released from the ideological charge of the 20th century scholarship, the current volume faces the daunting task to weave organically the often disparate papers informed by theoretical paradigms of different scholarly traditions.The volume is divided into five sections to provide more visibility of particular topics, but also to articulate better the research results of a wide range of specialists – archaeologists, historians, epigraphers, art historians, numismatists and conservators. Four additional papers (D. Dana [in French], I. Boyanov, D. Garbov, E. Nankov & A. Tsoneva) were solicited after the conference in order to attain a better cohesion of the volume’s structure. Since navigating through the sometimes inconsistent designations of excavated plots within the present-day Sandanski can be a challenge, the volume includes two maps showing the locations of major sites discussed in some of the papers. The reader is invited to refer to them whenever they are in need of topographic information regarding a particular site.
