It offers the first comprehensive, in-depth study through combination of scientific (fabric analysis) and traditional (morphological, stylistic, comparative and distribution analysis) methods. The large body of studied material allows for drawing conclusions on a broader geographical and historical scale, in contrast to earlier studies focused on individual sites. The manufacture, distribution and consumption patterns are characterised by diversity, which reflects a dynamic, multiethnic communication network developed in the Northern Aegean basin in the late 8\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and the 7\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e c. BC. The adoption of G 2-3 Ware by local, Thracian coastal communities is discussed in the light of transfer of knowledge and social practices. It is argued that the G 2-3 Ware potters were aware of earlier and contemporaneous ceramic developments in southern Greece and Anatolia and created a blend of pottery features specific for each one of these areas. The study deconstructs the forged link between G 2-3 Ware and the Greek colonisation in the area, by linking it to a local, pre-colonial development. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Petya Velichkova Ilieva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274703679739,"sku":"9783111289939","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8c9d9cbb-4e67-414a-bb8b-4fd1c8d99104.jpg?v=1774254626","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-late-geometric-and-early-archaic-north-eastern-aegean-9783111289939","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
