From Hellenistic slipped tableware to Roman Imperial Sagalassos Red Slip Ware
This paper offers new insights from the petrographic and geochemical characterisation of 92 pottery samples from the archaeological site of Sagalassos in SW Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). The sampled table wares form part of the Hellenistic to Roman Imperial local pottery production lines. The aim of this study is to reconstruct in more detail the tableware production at the site and examine Sagalassos Red Slip Ware (SRSW) in comparison with the p…

Magical practices? A non-normative Roman imperial cremation at Sagalassos
Many thousands of burials have been excavated from across the Roman world, documenting a variety of funerary practices and rites. Individual burials, however, sometimes stand out for their atypical characteristics. The authors report the discovery of a cremation burial from ancient Sagalassos that differs from contemporaneous funerary deposits. In this specific context, the cremated human remains were not retrieved but buried in situ, surrounded …
Pottery, Roman Empire
It is hard to conceive of a household in the Roman Empire that could make do without pottery – for the storing of foodstuffs, the cooking and serving of meals, the drinking of beverages, and so on. Artifacts of glass, metal, and, occasionally, other materials were used for similar purposes, and some of them were more prestigious than their ceramic counterparts, but the consumer's choice was guided by more than one factor, and these included the p…
Designing a Data Visualisation for Interdisciplinary Scientists. How to Transparently Convey Data Frictions
Intramuros
This article employs network thinking in the study of cross-craft relations in order to evaluate the interconnected nature of local economic activities. In analysing the evidence for sixth-century cross-industry relations at the site of Sagalassos, it becomes possible to reconstruct the structure of the crafting network through the directionality of resources, the work practices that sustained these relations, and the historical trajectories of e…
Marginal” Landscapes
The western Taurus mountains, southwest Turkey, comprise a diverse set of landscape zones that are characterized by great altitude variations. This article focuses on the agricultural so-called marginal highlands within this mountainous region. Large parts of the uplands are labeled “marginal” nowadays as they are not regarded as highly productive in terms of agricultural output or permanent occupation. Three decades of interdisciplinary research…

Subsistence economy and land use strategies in the Burdur province (SW Anatolia) from prehistory to the Byzantine period
Fuel for debating ancient economies. Calculating wood consumption at urban scale in Roman Imperial times
The case for computational modelling of the Roman economy
We thank Astrid Van Oyen for a highly constructive and important discussion piece that will improve our own future work, as well as that of others. We wish to elaborate on one issue: that formalist approaches do not necessarily have inherently modernist theoretical assumptions
Reconstructing Regional Trajectories
Analytical ceramic studies offer the opportunity to determine cultural development and change on the basis of origin and use of raw materials. In this particular study, an archaeometric approach on ceramics in central Pisidia contributes to the discussion of contact and exchange between indigenous communities and several cultural spheres of influence on a long-term timescale (eighth to second centuries bce). Morphological data as well as mineralo…
From Formal to Technical Styles
Changing tableware styles between the Roman Imperial and Late Antique periods have attracted significant attention recently, with socially constructed interpretations of consumer demand that view changing vessel shapes, sizes, and decoration in relation to communal dining practices of late antiquity. Building on that research, this study approaches such stylistic changes from the perspective of the important, yet less investigated, figure of the …
The Potters of Ancient Sagalassos Revisited
This chapter discusses the urban history of the potters’ quarter at Sagalassos. Production of red glazed fine-ware pottery started here in the Augustan period, probably as a result of a concerted effort by the community to move a pre-existing Hellenistic potters’ quarter from the place where the Roman odeon now stands. Production continued until the sixth century AD. The chapter outlines how the area gradually became more densely built up, and be…
Mercury
A large number of complex hypotheses exists that aim to explain aspects of the Roman economy, consisting of many explanatory factors that are argued to affect each other. Such complex hypotheses cannot be compared or tested through the traditional practice of qualitative argumentation and comparison with selected small sets of written and material sources alone. Moreover, these hypotheses often draw on different conceptual frameworks to abstract …
A late antique ceramic workshop complex
Sites of ceramic production have been discovered throughout the area that was once the Roman Empire; as a result, it is becoming increasingly clear that this industry was, in the Roman and late antique worlds, organised in numerous ways. In consideration of the organisational diversity in ceramic production attested during the period, this article presents some of the findings from the excavations of a late antique complex of ceramic workshops at…
Roman bazaar or market economy? Explaining tableware distributions through computational modelling
Spatial Distribution of Elemental Enrichments around Archaeological Sites
Ancient human activities have resulted in important elemental enrichments in soils at archaeological sites. Nevertheless, the spatial extent of such elemental enrichment signals is rarely studied. Our research addresses this theme by studying the characteristics and extent of the geochemical enrichment halo around the monumental Colonnaded Street of the Hellenistic to Byzantine city of Sagalassos in southwest Turkey. Given the complex geology of …
Exempli gratia
The Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project has made interdisciplinary practices part of its scientific strategy from the very beginning. The project is internationally acknowledged for important achievements in this respect. Aspects of its approach to ancient Sagalassos can be considered ground-breaking for the archaeology of Anatolia and the wider fields of classical and Roman archaeology. Now [...]
Societal changes in the Hellenistic, Roman and early Byzantine periods. Results from the Sagalassos Territorial Archaeological Survey 2008 (southwest Turkey)
This contribution discusses the Hellenistic, Roman and early Byzantine pottery collected during archaeological survey in the Bereket valley (territory of ancient Sagalassos, southwest Turkey). This collection contains both pottery imported from as yet unknown production centres and wares produced in the Potters’ Quarter of Sagalassos. Changes in the proportions of pottery produced at Sagalassos and those produced at other locations become visible…

Integrating Multi‐element Geochemical and Magnetic Survey at Ancient Sagalassos (Southwest Turkey)
Several studies in the field of archaeological prospection have suggested that multi‐element soil geochemical survey holds potential as an archaeological survey method, complementing more common techniques such as magnetometry and fieldwalking. Despite this, only limited research regarding this topic has been carried out. In this study, a geochemical survey was conducted in the Eastern Suburbium of the Roman to Byzantine city of Sagalassos, with …
Technical and Social Considerations of Tools from Roman-period Ceramic Workshops at Sagalassos (Southwest Turkey)
Archaeology has maintained a long-standing interest in ‘the tool’. In light of recent theoretical approaches to tools and technology, this paper presents the results of material analysis on a corpus of artifacts used in red-slipped ceramic production from Roman-period Sagalassos in southwest Turkey. Conceptual themes concern technological choices and the process by which tools were selected and appropriated for use in ceramic production. The tool…

An Evaluation of Analytical and Interpretative Methodologies for the Extraction and Identification of Lipids Associated With Pottery Sherds From the Site of Sagalassos, Turkey
Three lipid analysis methods were applied to extracts of archaeological potsherds from the ancient city of Sagalassos, south‐west Turkey. In the fatty acid methyl ester fraction, obtained by selective transesterification of acylglycerols, the ratio of methyl palmitate to methyl stearate was determined. Secondly, by means of gas chromatography– combustion–isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC–C–IRMS), stable carbon isotope ratios were measured for t…

Geoarchaeological investigations of the “potters' quarter” at Sagalassos, southwest Turkey
The potters' quarter of the ancient city of Sagalassos, southwest Turkey, was one of the largest and most enduring ceramic‐producing manufactories in the eastern Mediterranean. The objective of our study was to determine environmental circumstances that favored development of different clay resources in the territory of Sagalassos and to assess utilization of these resources in the local pottery manufactory. The potters' quarter was established w…

Analyzing Domestic Contexts at Sagalassos
The sigillata manufactories of Pergamon and Sagalassos
The Late Hellenistic period saw the intensification of pottery mass-production processes, of which Eastern Sigillata may be considered the pearl in the crown. Reddish tableware had a long tradition in the Levant and its evolution culminated around 150 B.C., in the region between Tarsos and Laodikeia, with the production of Eastern Sigillata A (ESA). More or less simultaneously, but independently, the manufacturing of Eastern Sigillata C (ESC) was…

Pollen sequences from the city of Sagalassos (Pisidia, southwest Turkey)
Two pollen sequences from the Classical city of Sagalassos (Pisidia, southwest Turkey) show that the hills just north of the city were forested during the main occupation period of the city (late Hellenistic to early Byzantine). They demonstrate that there was a mixed needle-leaved forest of Pinus, Cedrus libani and Abies cilicica . The platform on which the city sat was already deforested, as is indicated by the presence of pollen from various l…
Late Antiquity in the Territory of Sagalassos
Excavations at Sagalassos and non-intensive surveys of the city s territory have yielded a considerable amount of late antique evidence. While the first half of the period ( c . A.D. 300 to A.D. 450/75) bears witness to a continued prosperity, both in the city and its hinterland, the latter part of the period ( c . A.D. 450/75 to A.D. 640/50) saw some marked changes in the countryside: a reduction in the overall number of sites, an increased tend…

Comparing Ordinary Craft Production
I present in this paper a framework of description for pottery and textile manufacturing in Roman Asia Minor. The research forms part of a wider debate on the speci fic, but generally underestimated contribution of the production of artisans to the ancient economy. The regulatory factors and production organisation of both crafts are remarkably similar and are placed against the agricultural background of a pre-industrial society

What were they thinking of? Relief decorated pottery from Sagalassos
The use of images was a central point in ancient religious practice, as cult required the faculty of representing the divinity. Decorated pottery is one category of objects carrying such divine images. The reconstruction and understanding of the religious symbolic system for the Pisidian town of Sagalassos (SW-Turkey) from early imperial to early Byzantine times, through the medium of its relief decorated pottery, is the aim of this paper. Althou…
Two Late Antique Residential Complexes at Sagalassos
The town of Sagalassos, located in south-western Turkey, was an important regional centre from the Hellenistic period to Late Antiquity. Since the 1990s, the site has been the subject of systematic interdisciplinary research focusing on industrial, commercial, and residential areas of the town. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the excavations of two residential complexes in the town, including a palatial mansion to the north of …
Analyzing Domestic Contexts at Sagalassos
There has been a renewed interest in the study of domestic space in antiquity, focusing upon the importance of small, (semi-)portable objects and their contexts in order to investigate human behavior. In these studies, the use of domestic space is examined by describing the contents of rooms and by linking these contents to specific activities. This article adds to the discussion by proposing a methodology for interpreting artifact distribution p…

On the basis of recent archaeological evidence unearthed in the course of systematic excavations by the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) in southwestern Turkey, this paper attempts to pull together different strings of ceramic data in order to bridge the era between late antiquity and the Middle Ages (mid seventh century to ninth century AD). Our aim is to present samples of the ceramic assemblages excav…
Contextual Analysis at Sagalassos
Until recently, late antique quotidian objects were relegated to the domain of specialist studies and information relating to the context or assemblage within which the objects were found was rarely retained. The objects were studied as individual examples of form or type, rather than as part of an assemblage. The ability of archaeological evidence to contribute to the study of human behaviour largely derives from patterns in the dispersal of art…
