Die Insel Ägina mit ihrem gleichnamigen Hauptort war in der spätarchaischen und klassischen Periode ein wichtiges Zentrum in der zentralen Ägäis. Die Bedeutung und der Wohlstand Äginas resultierten aus der intensiven Handelstätigkeit seiner Flotte mit weit reichenden Verbindungen über den Saronischen Golf hinaus bis in das Schwarzmeergebiet, nach Nordafrika und Italien. Der vorliegende Band untersucht Keramik aus klassischen Kontexten im Gebiet des „Kolonna-Hügels“, der Akropolis der antiken Inselhauptstadt. Diese Kontexte enthalten neben einer Reihe von Importen, darunter solche aus Attika, Korinth, Lakonien, Ostgriechenland und der nördlichen Ägäis, auch zahlreiche Gefässe lokaler Herkunft. Neben der stilistischen und chronologischen Auswertung der Keramik und der daraus abgeleiteten Interpretation der Kontexte liegt der Schwerpunkt dieses Bandes auf der bislang wenig erforschten lokalen Keramikproduktion. Unter Miteinbeziehung naturwissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen und antiker Schriftquellen wird das Bild eines bedeutenden Produktionszentrums von Kochkeramik gezeichnet, das ein breites Formenspektrum entwickelte und seine Erzeugnisse weithin exportierte. Über die Untersuchung von stilistischen Entwicklungen der Keramik dieser Epoche hinaus wird auch eine Verbindung zur historischen und wirtschaftlichen Situation Äginas in klassischer Zeit hergestellt und seine Rolle als bedeutende Handelsmacht und Rivale Athens beleuchtet.



During the late Archaic and Classical periods the island of Aegina was a very important centre in the central Aegean. Its power and prosperity resulted from the intense trade activities of its fleet in the Saronic Gulf and beyond up to the Black Sea, North-Africa and Italy. This volume presents pottery from find contexts of the Classical period excavated in the area of the “Kolonna-hill”, the acropolis of the island’s ancient capital. The contexts discussed here, contain imported pottery, such as from Attica, Corinth, Laconia, Eastern Greece and from the Northern Aegean, and numerous vessels of local origin. The main emphasis of this volume is the careful analysis of the local pottery-production that thus far was a neglected research topic. With the help of supplementary scientific analysis and the interpretation of written sources on pottery production at Aegina the picture of an important production centre of cooking pottery emerges. The production flourished in the Classical period and a wide range of shapes was developed and exported to distant regions. Beyond the study of stylistic developments of the pottery of this period and the interpretation of the contexts in terms of chronology and function, the pottery is also analysed within the context of the political and economic situation of Aegina during the Classical period regarding its position as an important trade power and rival of Athens.

Aegina has long been recognised as a major production centre of a variety of widely exported ceramic containers not only in the relatively recent past but also in Classical antiquity and especially during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. Moreover, the prehistoric ceramic industry based on Aegina has become an increasingly important phenomenon in recent scholarship dealing with the rise of complex societies in the Aegean world during 2nd millennium BC. Such persistence on pottery production on Aegina through time renders obvious that a combination of factors, such as socio-economic, historical and geographical ones, as well as the locally available raw materials and the attraction of Aeginetan ceramics at other sites, must be taken into consideration in addressing the development of a specialized potting centre on the island.



This study is the first to undertake a comprehensive look at the Aeginetan ceramic industry during much of the Bronze Age (ca. 2500-1200 BC), aiming at shedding light upon the factors influencing transformations in potting traditions, and the growth and decline of a specialised pottery production centre on Aegina. Advocating a landscape approach, it concentrates not only on pottery production but also on supply and consumption of ceramic vessels on the island. The systematic stylistic study of the formal attributes of local products and imports at the site of Kolonna is combined with the investigation of their manufacturing technology and the compositional characterisation of their fabrics through petrographic and chemical analysis. This integrated archaeological and scientific examination of the pottery, together with research on the island’s resources, replication experiments and ethnoarchaeology, provides the ground for the reconstruction of the local potting traditions and the understanding variability observed within and across certain periods of the Bronze Age.
