Abstract

In the present study, red slip wares excavated from the ancient city of Germanicia (modern Kahramanmaraş, Southeastern Anatolia) were subjected to an archaeometric analysis. A multi-analytical approach was employed, including stereomicroscopy, optical microscopy, XRPD, SEM-EDS, and XRF to explore the mineralogical and chemical compositions of the samples. Based on both archaeological and archaeometric criteria, the samples were classified into three main categories: African, Phocaean, and Sagalassos red slip wares. The African red slip wares were characterized by an abundance of coarse quartz inclusion, accompanied by lesser quantities of plagioclase and mica. The Phocaean red slip wares primarily consisted of quartz, feldspar, and mica. In contrast, the Sagalassos red slip wares featured a groundmass rich in quartz, mica/biotite, hematite, and opaque minerals. Thermoanalytical data indicated that all samples were fired at temperatures between 800 and 900°C. The results suggest that red slip wares found at Germanicia were not manufactured using local available clay sources but rather originated from different regions. This evidence further provides that Germanicia was actively involved in trade networks and interacted with various ancient urban centers, such as Africa, Phocaean, and Sagalassos, during the Late Roman Period, between the fourth and fifth centuries AD.

对凯撒利亚日耳曼尼亚(安纳托利亚东南部,卡赫拉曼马拉什)出土的罗马晚期红色滑石器的考古调查
本研究对日耳曼尼西亚古城(今安纳托利亚东南部的卡赫拉曼马拉什)出土的红色滑石器皿进行了考古计量分析。采用了多种分析方法,包括体视显微镜、光学显微镜、XRPD、SEM-EDS 和 XRF,以探索样品的矿物学和化学成分。根据考古学和考古计量学标准,样品被分为三大类:非洲红陶、法卡伊红陶和萨加拉索斯红陶。非洲红泥器的特点是含有大量粗石英夹杂物,以及较少数量的斜长石和云母。法西亚红滑石器皿主要由石英、长石和云母组成。相比之下,萨加拉索斯红滑陶的地层则富含石英、云母/重晶石、赤铁矿和不透明矿物。热分析数据表明,所有样品的烧制温度都在 800 至 900°C 之间。结果表明,在日耳曼尼西亚发现的红色滑石器皿并不是利用当地的粘土资源制造的,而是来自不同的地区。这些证据进一步证明,在公元四世纪至五世纪的罗马晚期,日耳曼尼西亚积极参与贸易网络,并与非洲、法西亚和萨加拉索斯等古代城市中心互动。

期刊介绍: Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
