Kerameikos.org: defining the intellectual concepts of pottery

[First posted in AWOL 20 October 2014, updated 29 August 2019]

Kerameikos.org
http://kerameikos.org/ui/images/banner.jpg
Kerameikos.org is a collaborative project dedicated to defining the intellectual concepts of pottery following the tenets of linked open data and the formulation of an ontology for representing and sharing ceramic data across disparate data systems. While the project is focused primarily on the definition of concepts within Greek black- and red-figure pottery, Kerameikos.org is extensible toward the definition of concepts in other fields of pottery studies.
See the github account at https://github.com/kerameikos, which contains repositories for the RDF data and the publication framework. This framework could be applied to other linked data thesauri.

      Ceramics are among the most abundant materials recovered in archaeological sites. Traditionally, they have served as the main staple for archaeologists to establish chronological sequences within sites and cultural affiliations between sites. They are also a primary source for a wealth of information about past economies, social structures and ritual behaviour. In addition, ceramics preserve in their bodies the traces of countless forms of experimentation, knowledge transmission, technical ingenuity and artistic sensitivity, transcending the boundaries between art, craft and science both in their original production, and in their current study. As a sustained area of research, the study of ceramics has historically served as a prime arena for innovation, both through the pioneer application of instrumental analyses and as a core foundation and testing ground for influential archaeological theories. Inevitably, some research methods are well-established in some regions, whereas they are still emerging in others. Also the integration between science-based approaches and archaeological theory is uneven. However, emerging academic traditions, and those in less-resourced regions, should not be overshadowed by the more established paradigms. While it is impossible to keep up with all the work carried out on archaeological ceramics worldwide, it is essential that researchers continue to exchange and compare their methods, results and ideas, and that these are made available to a broader archaeological readership. This book aims to facilitate this exchange and update of information on diverse approaches to archaeological ceramics across much of the world.

      Open Access Journal: Les Carnets de l’ACoSt (Association for Coroplastic Studies)

       [First posted in AWOL 8 June 2017, updated 12 June 2019]

      Les Carnets de l’ACoSt
      ISSN: 2431-8574
      Logo Association for Coroplastic Studies
      Les Carnets de l’ACoSt (Association for Coroplastic Studies), created in 2014, is an on-line, open access, international journal dedicated to research on sculptural objects made in clay from all periods and all geographic areas. (The word coroplastic comes from the Greek koroplastes, which was a term used in ancient Greece to indicate a modeler of images in clay.) Les Carnets de l’ACoSt publishes individual scientific articles, as well as those presented within the context of events organized by members of the Association (seminars, conferences, colloquia, workshops, roundtables, and summer schools), plus a news section that provides brief communications on current research, reports, announcements, and book reviews, all focusing on coroplastic topics.

          Греческие амфоры (VII-II вв. до н.э.) с северных берегов Понта – APE - Greek Amphorae from Northern Pontus Euxinus (VII–II c. BC) – APE

          Греческие амфоры (VII-II вв. до н.э.) с северных берегов Понта – APE - Greek Amphorae from Northern Pontus Euxinus (VII–II c. BC) – APE
          Проект направлен на разработку информационной системы (APE – Greek Amphorae from Northern Pontus Euxinus), содержащей свод греческих амфор, происходящих из раскопок античных памятников Северного Причерноморья. Остродонные амфоры являются важнейшим археологическим источником по изучению торговых связей греческих полисов на протяжении VII-II вв. до н.э. Однако гигантские материалы, составляющие историко-культурное богатство нашей страны, по большей части не введены в научный оборот. В настоящее время назрела необходимость систематизации и осмысления накопленного материала.
          Реализация проекта при поддержке Российского научного фонда позволит впервые в мировой практике объединить и ввести в научный оборот колоссальный массив важнейшего археологического источника античного периода. Создание единой системы даст возможность широкому кругу исследователей получать необходимую информацию по находкам остродонных амфор на различных археологических памятниках в максимально короткие сроки, избавит от необходимости проводить трудозатратные поиски информации, содержащейся в отдельных публикациях. В дальнейшем, наличие подобной базы позволит создавать масштабные палеэкономические реконструкции для всего античного мира. В настоящее время созрела острая необходимость в создании подобной информационной системы в силу огромного количества источниковедческого материала, хранящегося в различных музейных собраниях России и не введенного в научный оборот.

          Immensa Aequora Database: Database of Ceramics Produced in Italy

           [First posted in AWOL 23 July 2015, updated 20 April 2019]

          Immensa Aequora
          ARCHAEOLOGIC AND ARCHAEOMETRIC DATA BANK OF CERAMICS PRODUCED IN ITALY
          BANCA DATI ARCHEOLOGICI E ARCHEOMETRICI DELLE CERAMICHE PRODOTTE IN ITALIA

          The project IMMENSA AEQUORA, developed within the FIRB - MIUR financing program, aims at improving the knowledge of the Roman economy and trade in the Western Mediterranean Sea (the 4th century BC – the 1st century AD), thanks to the use of modern research methodologies.
          The project is focused on the study of pottery production centers and related ceramics. New investigations have been carried out, whilst some are still on-going. Pottery is very common in archaeological records and is one of the most important markers used by archaeologists to date contexts, reconstruct trade routes and economic patterns of urban sites and sharpen our understanding of the technical level of ancient societies. The core of the methodology applied in the project is the integration of archaeology and archaeometry (in particular, paste computational analyses to detect the provenance of raw materials). For ceramics, especially, the existing data on Central and Southern Italy production centers, distribution and trade networks are being gathered to offer a new understanding and interpretation of them.
          Il progetto IMMENSA AEQUORA, nato nel programma dei finanziamenti FIRB - MIUR, ha come obiettivo principale di migliorare la conoscenza dell'economia e del commercio nel Mediterraneo occidentale (in modo particolare tra il IV secolo a.C. e il I secolo d.C.), grazie all'utilizzo di moderne metodologie di indagine scientifica sui reperti ceramici. Il focus del progetto è proprio la ceramica prodotta in Italia (quella tirrenica in particolare), quale indicatore della produzione e dei commerci nell’antichità.
          Un ruolo fondamentale nel progetto è giocato dai metodi archeometrici, con diverse finalità, tra cui le determinazioni di origine dei reperti, lo studio della loro tecnologia di fabbricazione, e l’analisi dei residui.
          Ulteriore obiettivo del progetto è lo studio dei relitti del Mediterraneo occidentale con carichi provenienti dall’Italia tirrenica.

          Open Access Journal: Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture

          Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture
          ISSN: 2399-1844 (Print) 
          ISSN: 2399-1852 (online) 

          The Journal of Hellenistic Pottery and Material Culture - JHP - was launched 2016 in Berlin, Germany, by Renate Rosenthal-Heginbottom, Patricia Kögler and Wolf Rudolph - specialists working in the field of Hellenistic material culture.
          JHP is an independent learned journal dedicated to the research of ceramics and objects of daily use of the Hellenistic period in the Mediterranean region and beyond. It aims at bringing together archaeologists, historians, philologists, numismatists and scholars of related disciplines engaged in the research of the Hellenistic heritage.
          JHP wants to be a forum for discussion and circulation of information on the everyday culture of the Hellenistic period which to date is still a rather neglected field of study. To fill this academic void the editors strive for a speedy and non-bureaucratic publication and distribution of current research and recent discoveries combined with a high quality standard. The journal appears annually in print and as a free online downloadable PDF.
