Ancient Pottery in Alexandria and its Chora

亚历山大港作为希腊和罗马东方最大的商业大都市，在地中海的经济结构中发挥了重要作用。同时，它也是希腊、罗马和埃及文化接触的焦点。由于20世纪80年代以来的深入研究，已经有了一系列有充分记录的分层挖掘。他们最近产生的大量数据首次使对经济和文化历史问题的系统调查得以进行。亚历山大作为地中海和尼罗河谷之间的枢纽，提供了该国陶瓷生产的多方面及其经济关系的总体情况。然而，仍然缺乏全面的年代学和类型学体系形式的必要基础。该项目的第一个目标是扩展和整合亚历山大、舍迪亚和马里亚的德国和法国出土文物数据库，并制定共同的类型学和术语。科学调查将有助于确定出处和形成群体。在此基础上，通过与其他相关发掘资料和外部工程的对比，阐述了总体年代学体系。这部作品将编入亚历山大托勒密罗马陶器的地图集。最后，在统计调查的基础上，将从长远的角度探讨经济和文化历史问题(公元前4世纪-公元前8世纪)。

As the greatest commercial metropolis of the Hellenistic and Roman East, Alexandria played an important role in the economic structure of the Mediterranean. At the same time it was the focus for contact between the Greek, Roman and Egyptian cultures. Because of intensive research since the 1980s a series of well documented and stratified excavations is available. The late quantities of data generated by them allow for the first time systematic investigations of economic and cultural historical questions to be carried out. Alexandria as a hinge between the Mediterranean and the Nile Valley offers a general view of the many-sided spectrum of ceramic production in the country and its economic relationships. The necessary basis in the form of overall chronological and typological systems is still lacking, however. The first goals of the project are the extension and integration of the databases of the German and French excavations in Alexandria, Schedia and Marea, as well as the elaboration of a common typology and terminology. Scientific investigations will help in the determination of provenience and the formation of groups. On this basis, an overarching chronological system will be elaborated through the comparison with other relevant excavation data and external projects. This work will flow into an atlas of the Ptolemaic-Roman pottery of Alexandria. Finally, on the basis of statistical investigations economic and cultural historical questions will be pursued with long-term perspectives (4th century BCE – 8th century CE).
