Containing Commodities: Determining Organic Residues In Greek Painted Pottery

这个博士将研究希腊装饰的船只和它们的内容在公元前8 - 4世纪地中海之间的动态关系。该项目将开发一种系统的跨学科方法，将有机残留物分析、对船只挖掘、收集和保护历史的调查以及对其古代使用的考古学和文字证据的研究结合起来。将收集数据来回答以下问题：如果有的话，装饰希腊陶瓷包含哪些商品？在不同的古代社会文化背景下，船舶是如何使用的？陶器的收藏、展示和保存历史在多大程度上影响了它的科学分析潜力？作为同类研究中的第一个系统研究，该研究将为古典学术贡献重要成果，而博物馆藏品综合方法的发展将具有更广泛的科学意义。

This PhD will investigate the dynamic relationship between Greek decorated vessels and their contents in the 8th - 4th century BC Mediterranean. The project will develop a systematic interdisciplinary approach that combines organic residue analysis, the investigation of a vessel's excavation, collection and conservation history and the study of archaeological and textual evidence for its ancient use. Data will be collected to answer questions such as: Which commodities, if any, did decorated Greek ceramics contain? How were vessels used in different ancient socio-cultural contexts? To what extent does the collection, display and conservation history of the pottery affect its potential for scientific analysis? As the first systematic study of its kind, the research will contribute significant results to classical scholarship, while the development of an integrated methodology for museum collections will be of wider scientific relevance.
