This paper presents the results of the analytical study of medieval pottery (mid. twelfth–sixteenth centuries AD), both glazed tableware and coarse wares, from a domestic structure uncovered at the site of Polis-Petrerades, Cyprus. A total of 50 samples were selected for scientific analysis, representing the main wares attested across the island from the Frankish (1192–1489) and Venetian (1489–1571) periods. This study follows an integrated approach to ceramic studies, which includes the classification of wares as well as petrographic and chemical analyses of selected samples, aiming to characterise ceramic bodies, slips and glazes. The results contribute to the reconstruction of production sequences that were, furthermore, interpreted within the archaeological and historical contexts of the period to address questions of ceramic production, potting traditions and distribution of medieval wares in Cyprus. Glazed tableware of different local workshops, namely Paphos and Lapithos, along with imports, reached that particular domestic building in the northwest of the island. Furthermore, local glazed and unglazed coarse wares were produced at different workshops than glazed tableware, the former showing a consistent preference for non-calcareous clays associated with the Troodos mountains. The heterogeneous character of the assemblage demonstrates the active participation of Polis Chrysochous within the regional and interregional trading routes of the period. At the same time, by focusing on a consumption context, this study reveals the potential that can be gained through the scientific analysis of both table and coarse wares from urban and rural sites of Medieval Cyprus.

重新组装碎片,重新评估图片:对塞浦路斯波利斯克里索乔斯中世纪陶器(十二世纪中期至十六世纪)的分析研究



本文介绍了对塞浦路斯波利斯-彼得雷拉德斯遗址出土的中世纪陶器(公元十二至十六世纪中叶)(包括釉面餐具和粗制品)的分析研究结果。总共选取了 50 个样本进行科学分析,代表了岛上经证实的法兰克(1192-1489)和威尼斯(1489-1571)时期的主要商品。这项研究采用了陶瓷研究的综合方法,包括对器皿进行分类以及对选定样品进行岩相学和化学分析,旨在表征陶瓷坯体、釉料和釉料。研究结果有助于重建生产序列,此外,在该时期的考古和历史背景下对生产序列进行了解释,以解决塞浦路斯的陶瓷生产、盆栽传统和中世纪制品的分布问题。当地不同作坊(即帕福斯和拉皮索斯)的釉面餐具连同进口物品一起到达了该岛西北部的那座特定的住宅建筑。此外,当地的釉面和无釉粗制品与釉面餐具是在不同的作坊生产的,前者表现出对与特罗多斯山脉相关的非钙质粘土的一贯偏好。该组合的异质性特征表明,城邦积极参与该时期的区域和区域间贸易路线。同时,通过关注消费背景,本研究揭示了通过对中世纪塞浦路斯城乡遗址的餐桌和粗制品进行科学分析可以获得的潜力。
