Document Details : Title: On 'Pre-colonial' Links, Once Again Author(s): TSETSKHLADZE, Gocha R. Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 15 Date: 2016 Pages: 279-301 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.15.0.3167477 Abstract : Recent publication has put forward (new) pottery evidence from Berezan (Borysthenes), supposedly dated to the second third of the 7th century BC, to buttress unsustainable arguments about Greek ‘pre-colonial’ contacts with locals in the Black Sea despite all that has been written to rebut such interpretations. Once again, pottery equals people (or so it seems), and a single example indicates more contact than it is reasonable to suppose. Here, briefly, I revisit this theme and discuss this evidence and its interpretation. |
