CALL:
An unguentarium is a small ceramic or glass bottle, found in relatively large quantities in the entire Mediterranean, from Spain to Syria, from Egypt to France, where they were produced from the early Hellenistic (i.e. mid fourth cent. B.C.) to the early Medieval periods (i.e. mid sixth cent. A.D.). In this symposium we only focus on terracotta unguentaria between c. 4th century B.C. and 6th century A.D., and attempt to set out a comprehensive model for the study of terracotta unguentaria, including their definition, typology, chronology, contexts, function, regional characteristics, and distribution patterns in the whole Mediterranean geographies, including whole eastern Mediterranean, Roman provinces in the western Mediterranean, north of Alps (Germania, Britannia etc.) and north Africa. We warmly invite contributions by scholars and graduate students from a variety of disciplines of ancient studies related to this vessel form. The symposium is free of charge. A post-symposium excursion is planned on May 19-21 to Lesbos, Greece through Ayvalik. We would be delighted, if you could consider contributing to our symposium and contact us with the required information below before February 1, 2018.
