“…Beyond the most frequent types that clearly participate in this interpretative scheme, there still remain many objects -anthropomorphic and animal representations, and various other objects -to be commented on. I am convinced that the symbolic function of other objects related to rites of passage, fertility and the fulfilment of life will be ascertained in the future as a result of a series of studies already published or underway (Huysecom 2003;Huysecom-Haxhi 2007;2009: 587-99;Papaikonomou and Huysecom-Haxhi 2009;Huysecom-Haxhi et al 2012;Pautasso 2015;Muller forthcoming).…”

This overview discusses the recent scholarly literature on Greek terracottas of the first millennium BC. Figurative terracottas, once seen as meaningless trinkets, are now given their full meaning through rigorous study and anthropological approaches. Perhaps the most explicit and universal source on the piety of a great number of people, they now contribute decisively to the archaeology of religion, particularly in the field of votive and funerary practices. At the same time, research on figurative terracottas, renewed by a technological approach, reveals a craft that is surprisingly modern in its manufacturing and distribution processes.

“… 4 For an analysis of the most characteristic type (the so-called Dame au Polos) , see Huysecom 1997. This was produced in Thasian workshops and is found at several sanctuaries in Thasos and its peraea : (Weill 1985, 147–220; Huysecom 1997, 155–80; Huysecom-Haxhi 2009, 342–56).…”

In 1987 an Archaic Argive-type shield and shield-band were discovered in the sanctuary on the acropolis of Oisyme. Such shields are found in the cemeteries of the northern Aegean, including those at Sindos and Archontiko. However, the Oisyme shield is as yet the only one to come from a sanctuary – a fact due, at least in part, to the limited exploration of early sanctuaries on the coast of Aegean Thrace. It is also the earliest known example of its type in the north-eastern Aegean. Considered alongside earlier literary evidence, such as Archilochus 5W, it helps to trace the introduction and development of the hoplite panoply in Thasos and its peraea. The shield and shield-band can be dated to c.575–550 bce on the basis of their repoussé decoration. The dies employed may have been imported from Peloponnesian (Argive or Corinthian) workshops or produced locally. They show stylistic influence from the contemporary Peloponnese, yet they have no known exact parallels. Metalworkers from the polis of Thasos and its peraea are likely to have imitated the products of southern workshops in much the same way that Thasian potters based their own early production on Cycladic, Chian and other wares. The deity worshipped in the Oisyme sanctuary was an ergane and/or a kourotrophic goddess, such as Artemis and Athena at nearby Thasos or the ‘Parthenos’ at neighbouring Neapolis. It is unlikely that rites of passage for hoplites were a central feature of the cult, since we lack the extensive corpus of weaponry (miniature and/or functional) typical in such cases. The limited number of weapons recovered from the sanctuary fits the established model for female poliad deities in smaller poleis. The shield was probably a personal gift, dedicated either by a retiring hoplite or as a thank offering after a military victory.

‘Where are the Children?’ In the title of a contribution edited in 1994: J. Sofaer Derevenski raised this question drawing scholars’ attention to the low consideration given to the study of children in archaeological research. For a long time, in fact, infants have been ignored in view of their marginal, incomplete and passive role in ancient society. Confined in ‘a category of disempowered’, due to the man-centred perspective leading current methodologies of investigation, young deceased have traditionally represented an invisible category within the frame of funerary studies as well, in contrast to adults, more representative as social agents. However, a surge of interest has recently occurred in the subject of childhood in antiquity.
