“…Their ceramics were esteemed in the eastern Mediterranean for their high-quality fabric and glossy surfaces. They were also prized for their remote origin, and because they were suited to the Greek fashion of mixing wine with water (see Gimatzidis 2017). But however they were manipulated in the eastern Mediterranean to enhance social status, they could never have achieved the high value of metals (cf.…”

“…Ethnographic comparanda show that more metric consistency is expected in vases manufactured by high-rate producers.

This can also be understood from the slight variants that add subtypes to the typology.…”

This paper examines the Aegean and Aegeanising ceramic wares of Geometric type that were recovered in excavations at the Cilician seaport of Kinet Höyük. Its Geometric pottery assemblage, published here for the first time, is among the largest found so far in the eastern Mediterranean and provides the starting point for a new reconstruction of Greek pottery consumption patterns in the eastern Mediterranean. With this aim, we first present the formal and archaeometric characteristics of the Kinet repertoire, the nature of its archaeological contexts, and how it compares with Geometric ceramic assemblages elsewhere. The second part of our paper assesses this popular Aegean ceramic type’s modes of production in order to define the conditions that sponsored the many dimensions of its distribution, exchange and consumption.*
