CYPRIOT BLACK-ON-RED WARE: TOWARDS A CHARACTERIZATION |
|
| Authors: | N J BRODIE L STEEL |
| Abstract: | Chemical analysis of Early Iron Age sherds from Cyprus and the Levant using atomic absorption spectrometry shows that Black-on-Red ware was manufactured only in Cyprus. Two types of fabric are isolated, calcareous and non-calcareous, and their technological significance discussed. The presence of trade links between the Cypriot sites of Kition and Amathus and sites in the Levant is suggested. |
