Ceramic Typology of the Bylazora Excavations: 2008-2012 Volume II

This volume continues the presentation of the results of the excavations of the Paionian-Macedonian stronghold city thought to be Bylazora (the largest city of the Paionians, according to Polybius). The Texas Foundation for Archaeological & Historical Research (TFAHR) presents a study of the ceramics from the 2008-2012 excavation seasons by Elizabeth de Marigny. The typology has been divided into nine categories: cooking wares; vessels for food service; pouring vessels and jugs; vessels for oil; drinking vessels; vessels for transport and storage; miniatures; toiletries; and inscribed vessels. Following the ceramic typology is an article by William Neidinger and Eulah Matthews which places the pieces discussed by de Marigny in their archaeological context. This discussion highlights the role the ceramics played in the dating and interpretation of key strata on the acropolis of Bylazora. This volume is a publication of the Texas Foundation for Archaeological & Historical Research (TFAHR).
