Jacques Perreault (Université de Montréal)
"The Kilns of Thasos: an Island Potter's Workshop in Ancient Greece (6th c.
B.C.)"
Pottery Production increased greatly during the Archaic period in the Greek world and we
know of many different styles and production centres. Unfortunately, very few pottery
workshops of this period have been found. A team of French, Canadian and Greek
archaeologists excavated the only known pottery workshop on the Northern Greek island of
Thasos, and one of the very few in Greece. This lecture will present the results of the
excavation of this workshop, where apart from the impressive quantity of vases uncovered,
all structures necessary to the production of pottery have been found. We will examine the
particular architectural features, the extremely diversified production, and the
distribution of the workshop's production in the North Aegean and the Black Sea.
