To illustrate the movement of Byzantine ceramics, a series of maps, established on the basis of a careful bibliographic survey, propose distribution pattern of the major types of tableware produced and traded in the Empire and beyond its borders, between the seventh and the fifteenth centuries. These maps not only indicate these discoveries geographically but they also identify the ceramics by both type and by period. In addition, the basemaps depict: territorial evolution of the Byzantine Empire and therefore the relations and balances established between neighbouring states; the river systems; the most densely populated areas; the major land and sea routes; and the location of cities, military bases and Italian commercial establishments in Eastern Mediterranean. Thus, to understand the ceramics market in Byzantium and identify both distribution pattern and consumption, archaeological data are put into perspective with geographic, economic and geopolitical data. These comparisons highlight the distribution areas of contemporary production in terms of both complementarity and competition. They contribute to the study of traffic flow of these products on different scales: macro-regional, regional or at long distance.
