Document Details : Title: Perfumes and Policies Subtitle: A 'Syrian Bottle' from Kinet Höyük and Anatolian Trade Patterns in the Advanced Third Millennium BC Author(s): ZIMMERMANN, Thomas Journal: Anatolica Volume: 31 Date: 2005 Pages: 161-169 DOI: 10.2143/ANA.31.0.2011755 Abstract : The 'Syrian Bottle', a small to medium-size globular or ovoid jar with a short, narrow neck and a slightly flaring rim, is one of the most diagnostic and intriguing vessel types in the late Near Eastern Early Bronze Age. Originally manufactured in Upper Mesopotamia, imports spread quickly over South-eastern Anatolia, mainly to be unearthed in EBA III-contexts, with original Syrian bottles to be found as far as Kültepe in Eastern Cappadocia, the Northeasternmost fringe for real imports. The production of 'Syrian' type bottles is continued in the early and advanced 2nd millennium BC, as bottles with narrow necks and protruding feet from Middle Bronze Age II-contexts in Kültepe/Karum Kaneš clearly indicate. |
