“…As a parallel to MYBE and AEGE, in both LH IIIB and LH IIIC periods, ChiA may possibly be understood as an instance where the island of Chios for a long period supplied a wider geographical area with pottery. The pattern ChiA has also been identified in two samples of LH IIIC material from the chamber tombs at Perati (Lis et al 2020).…”

“…Single means chemical loner (Mommsen et al 2001). Asin 29 is according to its concentration pattern an import from Chios (Demakopoulou et al 2017;Lis et al 2020;Huy et al 2020). With lower probability, an origin in Attica is possible, nevertheless with deviating lower Rb and K. The last sample Asin 30 has a profile Ul26, with 15 members in the Bonn databank that is still not located with certainty (Forsén et al 2017).…”

“…Asin 27, with the composition AEGE, is most probably from Aegina. As concerns the production of the well-known cooking pottery, this continued for long, and these vessels were traded as late as the LH IIIC early period (Gauss et al 2017;Lis et al 2020). Although we still have limited knowledge about production centres, it is worthy of note that the examination of pottery has indirectly demonstrated contrasting practises of manufacturing with also table ware exchanged in the transitional LH IIIB-LH IIIC early period (Gilstrap 2014(Gilstrap , 2016.…”

“…Similarly, Jung et al (2015) has observed the phenomenon at many Levantine settlements, and not only in religious contexts, with Mycenaean vessels treated with care and in use for long. The sample Asin 29 with pattern ChiA is assigned to the island of Chios (Lis et al 2020;Huy et al 2020). This particular pattern has also been found elsewhere in the Argolid, namely, in a LH IIIB2 floor deposit at Midea in the form of a transport stirrup jar (Demakopoulou et al 2017).…”

This article discusses the results of neutron activation analysis made on a limited number of LH IIIB and LH IIIC period sherds from the Argive settlement Asine, Greece. The analysis indicates that the transformation from the palatial to the post-palatial period, on a local level of a village as Asine, was not signified by loss of contacts with the surrounding world. Rather continuity and interaction prevailed, although with other geographical areas as production and use of pottery in the LH IIIB period apparently had a more regional preponderance. The geographical dominance of pottery assigned to producers in north-eastern Peloponnese and distributed over the Mediterranean was terminated, but other operators may have responded to the demand for pottery.

Back to Naṣbeh: New Compositional Analysis of Philistine Bichrome Pottery from Tell en‐Naṣbeh

2021

Philistine Bichrome pottery is one of the most important, well‐known, and easily identifiable features of the Philistine material culture of the early Iron Age (ca. 1,200–1,000 BCE) in the southern Levant. The Philistines were probably a group of immigrants from the Aegean region and Cyprus arriving at several sites in the southern coastal plains of Palestine. More than 25 years ago, results from Neutron Activation of several Philistine Bichrome vessels from the site of Tell en‐Naṣbeh were published by Gunneweg and others. The results were surprising because some of the typical Philistine vessels were found to be locally produced at this hill‐land Judean site. Several vessels found to have been from an un‐localized source. This study follows up on this issue, incorporating both petrographic and new chemical analysis, and enlarging the sample size. Consequently, we can provenance most Philistine vessels from this site more clearly to the central hills, the southern coastal plains (Philistia), and the central coastal plains of Israel. The significance of the distribution of the provenance of the Philistine pottery is further discussed.

This paper, jointly written by participants of a workshop held in 2021, argues for an increased recognition and application of neutron activation analysis (NAA) in the archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean. Discussing the methodological strengths and challenges, it highlights the great potential NAA has for collecting proxy data from ceramics in order to develop progressive concepts of archaeological research within and beyond the Mediterranean Bronze and Iron Age, pointing out opportunities to revisit long-held assumptions of scholarship and to refine visual/macroscopic provenance determinations of pottery. To take full advantage of NAA’s strengths toward a better understanding of the socioeconomic background of ceramics production, distribution, and consumption, the paper emphasises the need for both interdisciplinary collaboration and basic data publication requirements.
