Attic vases hold a prominent position within archaeological research and contribute significantly to pottery studies as well as other fields regarding the knowledge of the Past. Attic pottery achieved great popularity during the 6th-4th c. BCE with exports throughout the Mediterranean and the Euxeinos Pontos (Black Sea). Ancient Thrace was among the regions Attic vases were imported systematically and for a long period.
This lecture will deal with the published Attic painted pottery in ancient Thrace as it is presented through the results of the AtticPOT project (http://atticpot.athenarc.gr/index.php/en/). More than 5000 vases and fragments of Attic pots are collected in the AtticPOT repository, revealing the notable presence of the Athenian Kerameikos in the region and its consumption by the inhabitants. Distribution in apoikiae and other coastal and inland settlements, commercial and social networks, preferences, and function of these vases in the local societies will be among the discussed topics.
