Imported cooking wares of Roman Corinth: A comparative study
by Sapountzis, Ioannis, M.A., TUFTS UNIVERSITY, 2008, 88 pages; 1449714

Abstract:

This paper reinvestigates a group of imported cooking wares of the Roman period from the sanctuary of Demeter and Kore which is located in the foothills of Acrocorinth. An attempt is made to discover more comparanda for these wares in the Mediterranean, in order to establish a range of distribution networks and trace the evolving interconnectedness of the various regions of the Roman Empire. In order to better comprehend the complexities of the imports of these wares in Roman Corinth, a comparison will be done with various types of fine wares and cooking wares of the corresponding periods that have been excavated and published from other parts of the city. The results of this study will be accompanied by graphs and maps. In the end it will be shown that the imports of Roman cooking wares used in the sanctuary followed the basic trade trends of the imported finewares.
