The Contribution of Research on Incoronata to the Problem of the Relations Between Greeks and Non-Greeks During Proto-Colonial Times doi: 10.2143/AWE.12.0.2994444 AWE 12 (2013) 71-116 THE CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH ON INCORONATA TO THE PROBLEM OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN GREEKS AND NON-GREEKS DURING PROTO-COLONIAL TIMES MARIO DENTI* Abstract Excavations at Incoronata (region of Basilicata, southern Italy) provide an exceptional record of the meeting of non-Greek and Greek peoples between the 8th and 7th centuries BC, revealing the crucial importance of this site in our understanding of the relations, in proto- colonial times, between the indigenous Iron Age communities established throughout the Ionian coastal belt of Oenotria and the first groups of Greek peoples coming from the Aegean. Following the results of research and excavations over the last ten years by the University of Rennes 2, there have been marked changes in the archaeological framework of the site, as well as the more general heuristic view. The time is ripe to give a progress report on the work, since it concerns a ‘cross-over’ area representing an important phase in the development of Mediterranean archaeology, which is especially significant in character- ising the transformation of working methods and philosophy of research applied to studies of the Iron Age. Historical and Geographical Context When the archaeological expedition of the University of Rennes 2 resumed excava- tions on the hillside of Incoronata, in the torrid heat of September 2003, everyone was convinced that this archaeological site had already yielded up almost all its secrets. Between the 1970s and the 1990s, it had indeed been the target of several excavation campaigns by the University of Milan, under the direction of Piero Orlandini. Many publications, as well as the complex interpretative discussions which followed, have revealed the crucial importance of this site in our understand- ing of the relations between the indigenous Iron Age communities established throughout the Ionian coastal belt of southern Italy (Oenotria) and the first groups of Greek peoples coming from the Aegean. Following the results of research and excavations over the last ten years, there have been marked changes in the archaeo- logical framework of the site, as well as the more general heuristic view.

DENTI that the time is ripe to give a progress report on the work, since it concerns a ‘cross- over’ area representing an important phase in the development of Mediterranean archaeology, which is especially significant in characterising the transformation of working methods and philosophy of research applied to studies of the Iron Age. The small hill of Incoronata is about 60 m above sea level, overlooking the southerly approaches to the Basento river valley, 7.5 km from the present-day coast- line of Basilicata (Figs. 1 and 2, A). Excavations at this site provide an exceptional record of the earliest meeting of non-Greek and Greek peoples between the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 7th century BC.1 To place this phenomenon in its historical and cultural context, we need to highlight some essential features, specific to this area, which remain implicit in the analysis of the archaeological record undertaken throughout our study. The ancient coastal regions of Basilicata during the Iron Age – the territories of Siritide and Metapontino – are defined at least by the following characteristics: – following the Bronze Age, continuity is maintained in the density of relations with the Aegean world; – the cultural dynamism and high degree of development of the indigenous com- munities that occupied these regions during the Iron Age; – the ‘non-colonial’ (or, if one prefers, ‘proto-colonial’) territorial and institutional context of the ‘experiments’ that the Greeks carried out in these regions; – the ‘exceptional’ nature of the archaeological record concerning the Incoronata hillside, characterised by the incomparable quality and quantity of the data with respect to any other known site in the surrounding area at this time. We will see that this exceptional status, far from being a generic argument, is actually an important concept with a particular significance in antiquity. In the area studied, the meeting and the earliest relations between Greeks and indigenous peoples in the Iron Age followed on from a phase of particularly close contacts that were established during the Bronze Age with the Mycenaean world, as shown by the remarkable evidence coming from the settlements of Termitito (Fig. 1), San Marco and San Vito. The fact that most of the excavated Mycenaean ceramics were produced on the spot supports the non-episodic nature of this occu- pation.2 We note that the protagonists of post-Mycenaean history will probably remain strongly influenced by this phase of cultural contact on several levels. This is indicated, for example, by the choice of certain vase forms or the specific imagery of painted ceramics manufactured at Incoronata (sometimes directly evoking models 1 The bibliography in the footnotes is kept to a minimum. 2 Peroni 1994; Carter 2005, 52. 96073_AWE_12_04_Denti.indd 72 24/10/13 10:46 THE CONTRIBUTION OF RESEARCH ON INCORONATA ... 73 from the Bronze Age), and also the mythical-historical accounts transmitted by ancient sources, as these would seem to suggest. We should point out that, in this sense, the Oenotrian communities were perceived, in Greek historiography, as being of Trojan origin. From the Iron Age, archaeological evidence attests the existence of a complex relationship between Greeks and indigenous people, which appears in an historical and geographical context unanimously considered as predating the colonial phe- nomenon. While Tarento, to the north, and Sybaris, to the south, had already been founded towards the end of the 8th century BC, the coastal belt of Oenotria only shows evidence for a true colony at the end of the following century, with the establishment of Achaean Metapontion/Metaponto. However, we should bear in mind the date suggested by Eusebius of Caesarea for the foundation of Metaponto (773 or 772 BC),3 which now should perhaps be partially reconsidered in the light of the recent archaeological discoveries relating to a Greek presence prior to the documentary evidence of the colonial polis (dating from the 6th century BC). More- over, such a date corresponds curiously well to the earliest occupation of the Incor- onata hillside. Indeed, several lines of evidence point to the presence, in the Metapontino, of an important Greek component at some time before the colonial phase, throughout the 7th century BC. Apart from the data from Incoronata (which is the subject of this article), the valley of the Basento recently yielded the remains of two Greek dwellings situated just at the foot of the Incoronata plateaux (Fig. 2, D).4 ‘Hut dwellings’ of possible mixed Graeco-indigenous character5 were revealed during excavations within the future urban area of Metaponto (land owners: Andrisani and Lazzazzera), while remarkable evidence of ritual practices (Daedalic statuettes, decorated friezes made of terracotta dated to the 7th century BC) is found at several sites all around Incoronata, towards the valley of the Basento and the sea: even in Metaponto, the Incoronata-San Teodoro area (Fig. 2, C–D) and the sanctuary of San Biagio, located on the other side of the Basento valley6 (Fig. 2, E). Therefore, in the current state of our knowledge, the archaeological evidence of this ‘proto-colonial’ phase seems to lie within a framework marked by the presence of core areas of Greek settlement – or at any rate relatively stable occupation – dating from the beginning of the 7th century BC. This historical framework (which is therefore also epistemological) depends in any event on a territorial context that does not yet incorporate the 3 Chronicon, ed.

During the period before the foundation of the col- ony, the Metapontino seems to have been occupied by scattered settlements of Greek peoples.7 In any case, the strong sacred connotation of most of the archaeo- logical finds of this period represents a major and highly relevant argument from this historical viewpoint, which we need to reconsider. The absence of a ‘politically’ determined Greek component appears directly related to the intensity and the quality of the indigenous presence along the whole of the Ionian coast of present-day Basilicata.8 To obtain some idea of the level of sociocultural development of these communities, it is sufficient to evoke the spec- tacular finds in the indigenous Iron Age necropoleis of Santa Maria D’Anglona, Chiaromonte and Alianello (Fig. 1). These grave-goods were discovered during the second half of the last century, and have literally made it possible to rewrite the early history of these areas.9 We do not yet have a sufficient knowledge of the ‘domestic’ aspects in the history of these elites (for example, the situation of Siris- Polieion [Fig.

Shapiro HE AMAZONS offer a remarkable example of the lacunose and T fragmented state of ancient evidence for many Greek myths. For while we hear virtually nothing about them in extant litera­ ture before the mid-fifth century, they are depicted in art starting in the late eighth! and are extremely popular, especially in Attica, from the first half of the sixth. Thus all we know about the Greeks' con­ ception of the Amazons in the archaic period comes from visual rep­ resentations, not from written sources, and it would be hazardous to assume that various 'facts' and details supplied by later writers were familiar to the sixth-century Greek. The problem of locating the Amazons is a good case in point. Most scholars assume that Herakles' battle with the Amazons, so popular on Attic vases, took place at the Amazon city Themiskyra in Asia Minor, on the river Thermodon near the Black Sea, where most ancient writers place it.2 But the earliest of these is Apollodoros (2.5.9), and, as I shall argue, alternate traditions locating the Ama­ zons elsewhere may have been known to the archaic vase-painter and viewer. An encounter with Amazons figures among the exploits of three important Greek heroes, and each story entered the Attic vase­ painters' repertoire at a different time in the course of the sixth century. First came Herakles' battle to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte (although the prize itself is never shown), his ninth labor.

  • Attic Pottery of the Later Fifth Century from the Athenian Agora
    ATTIC POTTERY OF THE LATER FIFTH CENTURY FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 73-103) THE 1937 campaign of the American excavations in the Athenian Agora included work on the Kolonos Agoraios. One of the most interesting results was the discovery and clearing of a well 1 whose contents proved to be of considerable value for the study of Attic pottery. For this reason it has seemed desirable to present the material as a whole.2 The well is situated on the southern slopes of the Kolonos. The diameter of the shaft at the mouth is 1.14 metres; it was cleared to the bottom, 17.80 metres below the surface. The modern water-level is 11 metres down. I quote the description from the excavator's notebook: The well-shaft, unusually wide and rather well cut widens towards the bottom to a diameter of ca. 1.50 m. There were great quantities of pot- tery, mostly coarse; this pottery seems to be all of the same period . and joins In addition to the normal abbreviations for periodicals the following are used: A.B.C.

  • Aphrodite on a Ladder
    APHRODITE ON A LADDER (PLATES 17-19) N JULY OF 1981, in Byzantinelevels above and west of what was soonto be identified as the Stoa Poikile, the excavatorsof the Athenian Agora found two joining fragmentsof a Classical votive relief (P1. 17:a).1 The relief is framed by simple moldings: taenia and ovolo at top and a plain band at the right side. In the pictorial field is preservedthe head of a young woman carved in low relief. She gazes down to the left at a vessel raised in her right hand. Her head is coveredby a short veil. Above and behind the veil are two rungs and the vertical supports of a ladder whose upper end disappearsbehind the frame. Although frag- mentary and weathered, the relief provides a precious document for the study of Classical relief sculpture, and its unusual iconographygives a valuable clue to the identity of one of the deities worshiped in the area. Most of the figure'sprofile is broken away, but the carefully carvedlines of the lips and eye show that the sculptor took pains to give her delicate features. Her hair, where it ap- pears below the veil, is mostly worn away. Along the side of her face appear waves of hair with a scallopedcontour. No trace of her ear is preserved.It was either very small or hidden beneath her hair. Folds of the veil cross her head in bifurcating linear patterns of rounded ridges. Below her hair two folds fall down along her neck, while others, from the hidden right side of her head, blow out behind in sweeping curves.

  • HYDRIA-FRAGMENTS in CORINTH 309 Company of Orientals on a Solemn Occasion? Not in Life, Either in the Orient Or in Greece
    HYDRIA-FRAGMENTSIN CORINTH (PLATES 85-88) S OME years ago Miss Hazel Palmerkindly sent me photographsof certain Attic red-figured fragments found by the American School of Classical Studies in their excavations at Corinth. Among the fragments were three, from one vase, that seemed to me of exceptional interest. Mrs. Josephine Platner Ilarwood and Miss Palmer in- vited me to publish them, in advance of the official publication, and I am grateful to them for their generous action. A few months later Dr. J. L. Caskey, Director of the American School, sent me clearer photographs of the three pieces, and also photo- graphs of two other small fragments from the same vase: to him also I feel much indebted (P1. 85). In 1953 I was able to examine the originals at Corinth, though but hastily. They come from a hydria of exactly the same common type as those in Boston and London reproduced on Plate 86. In the Boston hydria (P1. 86, b)1 the base and foot are modern, so I give the picture only: the shape of the vase, and the position of the picture on it, will be plain from the London hydria (P1. 86, a).2 In the first fragment (A) one sees the upper part of a man-from the waist or near it-, facing to the right, the body almost frontal, but turned slightly in the same direction as the head, both arms bent at the elbow and the forearms raised. The man wears Oriental costume:-first, a garment of thick material ornamented with a bold pattern of black circles, each having the centre marked in brown; secondly, on the head, a kidaris (bashlik), the long flaps of which are preserved, while the rest is missing; the kidaris too may have been ornamented, at least the black remains just before the fragment ends look like part of a spot; thirdly, worn shawl-wise over both shoulders, a dark wrap with a thin light border.

  • Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6Th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond
    arts Article Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond Valérie Toillon Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC H3T 1J4, Canada; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 22 October 2019; Published: 25 October 2019 Abstract: The motif of three women sharing the same mantle is pictured on about a dozen vases dating from the first half of the sixth century BCE. Among these vases, the so-called “François Vase” and a dinos signed by Sophilos (now in London, British Museum) are of particular interest. The wedding of Thetis and Peleus is pictured on both vases. This theme is well-adapted to the representation of a procession of deities in which the Charites, Horai, Moirai, and Muses take part. The main feature of these deities is a shared mantle, which covers and assembles them, emphasizing that these deities are plural by definition. The main study on this iconographical theme remains that by Buchholz, who documented most of the depictions of the “shared-mantle” in ancient Greek vase-painting and small terracottas. The shared-mantle motif has been interpreted successively as a reference to the sacred peplos (in relation to the wedding), a simplification from the painter to avoid painting all the mantles, a sign of emotional/sexual union, a religious gesture, and a depiction of choruses. The present study aims to consider in more detail the “shared-mantle” as an iconographic sign that involves the idea of community, shared identity, and emotional bond.

    Greek Painted Pottery An Introduction Pottery parts Greek Vases Most of these names are just modern conventions. The use of these names in antiquity is not certain and the small evidence that we have suggest that: - Some of these names are clearly wrong - Some other names were used by the Greek in much more generic sense and not for specific vase types. In any case, scholars still keep on using these names since they are so well-spread in the academic community that using them makes sense.

It was used for the storage of liquids and solids such as grain. Undecorated 'coarse' amphorae, with their lower part tapering to a point, were the standard transport containers in the Mediterranean. They are frequently depicted in symposium scenes.
