Sarah James and Mark Lawall at the Sandbjerg Estate
From November 27-29, Guy Sanders and associate member Sarah James participated in the Pottery, Peoples and Places conference organized by Mark Lawall and Pia Guldager Bilde and hosted by the Centre for Black Sea Studies (University of Aarhus).at the Sandbjerg Estate in southern Denmark. The goal of the conference was to consider the current state of research on late Hellenistic (c. 200-50 BC) pottery from sites in the Black Sea and Aegean and to examine fixed chronological points in the period. To this end, an international group of scholars were assembled to discuss their work. Guy Sanders presented a paper on his reinterpretation of the fills in the South Stoa wells and suggested a new relative chronology for Corinthian drinking vessels based on this study. Sarah James presented the post-146 BC floor deposit found in 2006 in the Panayia field and her ongoing work on chronology of Corinthian Hellenistic pottery.
