SUMMARY:Roman Pottery in the South-Eastern Balkans: From Production to Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Conference\nRoman Pottery in the South-Eastern Balkans: From Production to Distribution\n\n\nThe conference focuses on local pottery production during the Roman period in the southern and south-eastern regions of the Balkan Peninsula\, particularly within the Roman provinces of Thrace\, Moesia Inferior\, Dacia\, and Macedonia. Across these regions\, numerous pottery workshops have already been identified\, producing substantial quantities of wheel-made tableware\, cooking vessels\, and storage containers\, often alongside traditional handmade pottery. The scale and variability of local production must have been considerable; in inland Thrace\, for instance\, the majority of pottery found in rural contexts was locally produced\, while imports were virtually negligible. \nHowever\, despite the prevalence of local pottery on many archaeological sites\, the number of dedicated studies on the subject remains disproportionately low. Even fewer comprehensive studies or specialized conferences address the production and distribution of local pottery. This conference therefore aims to provide an open forum for sharing and discussing various aspects of Roman pottery production in the southern and south-eastern Balkan Peninsula\, focusing on direct or indirect evidence of production as well as on investigating circulation patterns\, consumer preferences and patterns of consumption. \nThe chronological framework of the conference spans the Late Republic to the Imperial period\, approximately from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD. \n\n\n\nThe main topics are:\n\n\n\nTypology and chronology of various regional pottery groups\nProduction centres and their organization\nTechnological aspects of ceramic production\nPottery function and utilization\nPatterns and mechanisms of distribution\nEconomic\, social\, and cultural significance of pottery production and consumption\nThe application of scientific analyses to address any of the above issues\n\n\n\nThe submission for abstracts has now closed. Stay tuned for further information and the detailed programme.
