“…The comparison of lamp elemental and/or mineralogical compositions with the existing reference data of other pottery enabled the assigning of origin to some PGs (PG 3, PG 5, PG 6) (Schneider 2000a; Picon and Blondé 2002). In particular, the Hellenistic colour-coated ware pottery from Nea Paphos, analysed in previous studies (Marzec 2017; Marzec et al 2018; 2019), proved to be useful comparative material for this investigation, not least as they had been analysed using the same techniques.

“…The place of production of these groups of lamps and pottery is unknown. It has previously been suggested that these could have been produced somewhere on Cyprus or in the Levant (Marzec 2017, 190–3; Marzec et al 2018). S. Élaigne proposed Kition on Cyprus as a potential place of production of this group of pottery (Élaigne and Lemaître 2014).…”

“…Despite differences in elemental and mineralogical composition, PG 1 and PG 2 can be tentatively associated with production in western Cyprus. This assumption is based on the similarity of both PGs to a group of colour-coated ware pottery recently analysed and considered as local to the site (Marzec 2017, 183–9, Fabric Group 1; Marzec et al 2019). The elemental (Table 3) and mineralogical compositions of PG 3 show similarities to a group of Early Hellenistic colour-coated ware pottery that was previously assumed to have been imported to Paphos, potentially from the North Levant (Marzec 2017, 215, Fabric Group 5).…”

“…The fabric and slip of these lamps (Table A4) are visually identical to a group of Early Hellenistic colour-coated ware pottery from the House of Dionysos in Nea Paphos, which had been named Standard Early Hellenistic Ware by J. Hayes (1991, 27–8). This group of table ware pottery was also identified at the Paphos Agora and Maloutena, and has been investigated through refiring tests and elemental and petrographic analysis (Marzec 2017, 190–3, Fabric Group 2; Marzec et al 2018). In order to confirm the relation between the lamps and colour-coated ware pottery, selected samples were analysed by the use of the same methodology.…”
This paper presents the results of a multipronged approach to the study of the Hellenistic and Early Roman ceramic oil lamps excavated at the Agora of Nea Paphos in Cyprus. The assemblage was studied macroscopically, and selected samples were analysed through WD-XRF spectroscopy and thin section petrography, combined with refiring tests. The integrated results revealed that local production changed through time in terms of lamp shapes, manufacturing techniques and clay recipes, while imported lamps originated from a range of sources. The transformations seen in the local production correlate with changes in the origin of imported lamp supply and the impact of other centres on the local lamp manufacture. These patterns in production and supply could be most likely associated with political transformations and urban development.
