Pour la première fois dans la longue histoire de la revue, nous publions un numéro entièrement en langue étrangère, en anglais en l’occurrence. C’est là un choix éditorial fort du comité scientifique de la revue qui, sur proposition de Jean-Marc Luce, professeur d’archéologie grecque à l’université de Toulouse 2-Le Mirail, a accepté d’accueillir les actes d’un colloque original par sa thématique, les petits objets et les miniatures de l’Antiquité, souvent des objets à vocation religieuse, qui s’est tenu à l’université de Reading, au Royaume-Uni, les 21 et 22 septembre 2009. Depuis de nombreuses années maintenant, la revue Pallas a ouvert ses pages aux enseignants-chercheurs et chercheurs étrangers, européens pour la plupart, auxquels la possibilité de publier leurs travaux dans leur langue a été donnée (anglais, italien, allemand et espagnol). Évolution logique pour une revue qui a toujours eu pour vocation de promouvoir la recherche en Sciences de l’Antiquité dans to...
Greek Art in Motion: Studies in honour of Sir John Boardman on the occasion of his 90th Birthday

Given the Phoenician adoption of various Egyptian funerary customs and motifs, moreover, sea shells in Carthaginian burials are typically attributed the same meaning as those in Egyptian burials. Given our understanding of the Phoenician association with the sea and our understanding about specifically Carthaginian funerary customs and offerings, however, it is likely that there are distinctively Carthaginian reasons for the inclusion of sea shells in their burials.

Naukratis: Greeks in Egypt, 2015

The range of shapes is restricted to mainly cups and kraters with few pouring vessels; most feature black-figure decoration, but some are also painted with simple patterns and figures in silhouette or are black-glazed. The hands of three major Laconian vase painters are represented: the Naukratis Painter, the Borads Painter and the Painter of the Taranto Fish.
Laconian fine ware arrived at Naukratis perhaps as early as the early 6th century BC, but the majority dates from between 575 and 550 BC, the main period of production for Laconian fine wares. Thereafter small amounts continued to trickle in until the early 5th century BC. Never a large scale import, Laconian pottery probably found its way to Naukratis via a number of different routes, mostly brought by traders and other travellers for use in ritual banqueting and as dedications.

Examples of the Transitional style, dated between 630 and 620/615 BC, are rare; numbers peak during the Middle Corinthian period and dwindle significantly by c. 550 BC. Few examples continue until the 4th century BC. The majority of pieces with known findspots come from the sanctuary of Apollo, but there are also finds from the sanctuaries of the Dioskouroi and Aphrodite.
This chapter presents the evidence and sets it into its wider context, considering in particular the question of trade routes and the patterns of use and consumption of Corinthian pottery at Naukratis.
By the late 7th century BC, when the earliest Corinthian material arrived at Naukratis, Corinthian wares were widely traded and common at sites throughout much of the Greek world. However, unusually for a Greek sanctuary site, at Naukratis column-kraters are the most common shape, follo¬¬wed by drinking cups (kotylai and kylikes). The character of the assemblage at Naukratis suggests that, especially between 595 and 570 BC, Corinthian wares arrived not so much as trade items, but more as individual dedications destined for the local sanctuaries.

The total amount of Chian fine wares stands at approximately 30% of the entire corpus of Greek pottery imports preserved from the early fieldwork at Naukratis and about 40% of that dating to the 7th and 6th century BC. It is one of the most important collections of Chian pottery known from any site, both in terms of the diversity in the range of shapes and the variety of styles.
