L'introduction des céramiques fines hellénistiques du bassin oriental de la Méditerranée à Alexandrie. Importations et imitations locales.
Résumé
The distinctive features of Egyptian pottery render it easily identifiable and differentiate it from fine
pottery imported from the eastern Mediterranean (and from western Mediterranean pottery). The
pottery for which the origin is not known or not clearly determined is classified into ceramic groups
defined according to technological criteria. These groups are then compared with cohérent groups
defined in the bibliographies according to descriptive data, in particular their morphological types and
development.
Chemical analysis of samples from certain determined groups are compared to references (previous
analyses of groups with determined origin carried out by the Laboratoire de Céramologie at the Maison
de l'Orient and by the laboratory of the University of Berlin) in order to attribute origin to them.
This article presents the graphic results of chemical analyses of samples of fine ceramics imported to
Alexandria and their correlation with certain references: these results indicate a Rhodian origin for one
of the groups, a origin of Cnidos for some of the samples, the relation of one homogenous group
consisting of bowls with relief and of eastern terra sigillata Β to references concerning the region of
Ephesus, and the appartenance of Cypriot sigillata to the group of Cypriot wares containing little
limestone.
