In Pompeii en Abdera wordt er specifiek naar twee huizen gekeken en bij Colchester naar al het aardewerk gevonden op de site. Door het analyseren van het aardewerk kunnen er conclusies worden getrokken over de aardewerkassemblages van de drie sites en over de manier waarop deze sites zijn onderzocht.Show less

The kantharos is a drinking cup with a distinguishable shape. High incurving handles, an upper and lower body divided by a narrow offset and a high stem and foot are some of its characteristics. There is no consensus about why this cup was so important and well used in the Archaic and Classical periods in Boeotia. This thesis tries to uncover the reasons for being used so well in this region by focusing on several viewpoints, such as the kantharos’ origin, the link to mythology and several typologies. The still largely unpublished datasets from the Boeotia survey Project are being used here for the amounts of kantharoi and their contexts. This information is ultimately compared to other surveys and excavations from several regions of Greece, to see whether Boeotia actually was unique in this respect. With these viewpoints this thesis not only tries to answer the research question, but also tries to give an overall view on the research on kantharoi in general.Show less

The bobbin and loomweights (except for two) are put into suitable categories, based mainly on the typologies of Staermose Nielsen (2005) and Mårtensson et al. (2009). For the spindle whorls assigning them to a type has proven more difficult. Date ranges are proposed for the implements, but these tend to be rather unspecific, due to some problems regarding the dating of textile implements in general. Next, the technological side of the implements is assessed. The spindle whorls were probably used for very thick woollen yarns, and the discoid weights have proven suitable for quite a broad range of threads, while the conical and pyramidal weights were more suitable for finer yarns. The mapping of the implements under study has shown that the textile production in Koroneia was probably home-based, because the majority has been collected in areas that are thought to be domestic, including a villa-area. There are some exceptions, in which cases textile implements might be either funarary or dedicatory, or simply discarded, broken material. Hopefully more textile implements will be published in the future, especially with regard to their find context. This will facilitate the dating of similar material and might shed a light on the textiles that were used in antiquity.Show less

Het onderzoek was gebaseerd op literatuuronderzoek. De mogelijke relaties worden aangetoond met behulp van een aantal theoretische modellen, waaronder Peer Polity Interaction en het Core-Periphery model. De oude visie van hiërarchische relaties wordt in twijfel getrokken door nieuwe ideeën, waarvan heterarchie de voornaamste is. Er blijken meerdere soorten relaties aanwezig geweest te zijn (politieke, sociale, economische en ideologische), welke zich op meerdere niveaus afspeelden doch niet altijd in dezelfde mate. Er blijken nog steeds voldoende argumenten te zijn om hier nog meer onderzoek naar te doen.Show less
