    WEST SLOPE IN THE

    EAST

    Susan I. ROTROFF

    :

    Abstract

    West

    Slope pottery began to be made in

    mainland

    Greece during the course of the first quarter of

    the 3rd century,

    and

    local industries

    soon

    sprang

    up

    in other areas of the

    Greek world.

    West Slope

    was rare

    in the

    Hellenistic

    east, but

    was produced

    by two

    important

    workshops: one

    at

    Pergamon,

    the

    other,

    the

    Ivy Platter

    Workshop, at

    an

    unknown location somewhere along

    the

    south

    coast of

    Asia

    Minor

    or the

    coasts of present-day Lebanon

    or

    Syria.

    This

    paper

    investigates the distribution

    of

    products from these two centers and from Athens. Attic

    exports

    were relatively few, found mostly in

    mainland

    Greece

    and

    the Cyclades. Pergamon's markets

    were larger, along the

    west

    coast of Asia Minor, the shores of the Black Sea,

    and

    occasionally

    as

    far

    afield as Cyprus,

    Syria, Palestine,

    and

    Alexandria.

    In the

    southern

    Levant, however, products

    of

    the

    Ivy Platter group were dominant.

    The

    relative representation of the three wares at such

    large

    centers at Alexandria,

    Rhodes, and

    Delos

    may

    reflect

    commercial

    ties between those

    cities

    and the

    producers,

    and

    may

    also

    have

    implications

    for

    the dating of the Pergamene

    and

    Ivy Platter workshops.

    West

    Slope pottery (WS) has been

    known to

    scholars for a century,

    and

    some significant treatments

    of individual

    industries

    have

    appeared. So

    far,

    however, no general study

    of the technique

    and its

    distribution has been attempted.

    The

    type remains poorly published, both quantitatively

    and

    qualitatively;

    furthermore, the low quality

    of

    much

    of

    the pottery

    and

    the monotony

    of ts

    decoration

    make it

    difficult

    to distinguish

    between

    the products

    of

    different

    centers. Nonetheless, the sample at our disposal permits

    some

    preliminary conclusions.

    Production of

    West

    Slope

    Sites where West Slope

    pottery

    has been found

    fall

    into three categories: great

    production

    centers,

    minor centers, and consumers. Great centers are those where

    many

    vessels occur, with a

    large

    repertoire of

    shapes

    and motifs, and

    where

    there was

    significant export. Outside of

    Italy,

    three have been investigated

    Athens, Pergamon,

    and

    Knossos

    only

    one

    of

    them

    located

    east

    of

    the

    Aegean.1 There

    are

    also

    lesser

    centers, places with

    well-established

    industries but a

    smaller

    decorative repertoire

    and

    little or no export.

    In

    the

    East

    these

    include

    Ephesos,

    Rhodes, Sardis, and

    Knidos, the

    last two,

    however, unpublished.

    Close

    to 200 examples of

    WS have

    been

    published from

    Ephesos.2

    While Ephesian potters were prolific, they

    were also

    unimaginative, limiting their

    decorative

    repertoire

    almost entirely

    to

    ivy

    and olive

    garlands

    and

    the spearhead

    necklace.

    The number

    of

    motifs

    is similarly

    limited

    at Rhodes, where Vasso Patsiada has

    published

    about

    90 pieces

    of

    local manufacture:3

    ivy

    and

    olive,

    with

    checkerboard/rectangle

    and

    spearhead

    necklace in small numbers. The

    influence

    of

    Athens is present at the beginning, and

    persists

    to a limited

    degree in

    Rhodes,

    but the later

    products of

    both

    centers

    were heavily influenced by Pergamene

    WS.

    Other

    eastern

    sites were largely consumers. Even when

    much

    WS

    occurs, much

    is imported, and a

    local industry was minimal or lacking. Frances

    Jones

    published

    only 36

    fragments from Tarsus, including

    both

    local

    and

    imported

    examples.4

    From

    Antioch

    and

    the

    vicinity,

    Frederick

    Waag

    published

    only

    42

    pieces, at

    least

    13 of which

    he considered imports.5 WS is described as abundant at

    Ibn

    Hani on the

    Syrian coast,6

    but little has been published.7 Dor has

    produced the

    largest amount

    so far

    published

    from

    Palestine (83 fragments), but all are

    imported.8

    Nearly

    as

    much has been published from Samaria,9 but the

    status

    of

    the ware is

    difficult

    to gauge: Kenyon calls it comparatively rare,

    while

    Crowfoot claims it is

    common.10

    Here too there are many imports, but it is

    unclear

    whether

    or not there was a local industry.

    Much WS has been found at

    Maresha,

    in the south, but it

    awaits

    publication. The ware is decidedly

    rare

    elsewhere

    in Palestine

    and

    inland Syria, despite the existence

    of

    many

    thoroughly published

    sites

    with

    Hellenistic

    strata.

    Tiny

    amounts have been published from Ashdod, Dura

    Europos, and Hama, and

    at

    Pella WS is said

    to

    be

    rare.12

    More

    surprisingly,

    little

    has

    been

    published

    WEST SLOPE IN THE

    EAST

    9 9

    in southwest

    Asia

    Minor.13 As for Alexandria, ts expected brilliant

    pottery

    industry has failed to

    materialize.

    Virtually

    all the WS

    published

    from the

    city

    is imported. Painted

    ceramics

    are rare in

    excavations there, and the

    quality

    of local products of this

    genre mediocre.

    In sum,

    then,

    the manufacture

    of

    WS was rare in the

    eastern

    Mediterranean.

    The same

    may be true

    of

    the

    Black

    Sea

    region.

    Among

    eight

    shapes

    published

    in a

    recent

    overview

    of

    the

    Hellenistic

    assemblage

    of

    the

    Bulgarian

    coast,

    only two

    bear painted decoration, although imported WS is well represented

    there.15

    Distribution of

    Key

    Shapes

    Numerous difficulties attend the attribution

    of WS to

    specific centers

    of

    manufacture. In older

    publications, those

    few

    scholars who

    attempted to identify fabrics had little to go on. They

    were

    keenly

    aware

    of

    the characteristics

    of

    the local wares

    and

    readily

    recognized

    items that diverged from that pattern,

    but they were hard

    put to

    assign

    an

    origin

    to

    them.

    Anything with good

    black

    gloss tended to be

    called

    Attic ;

    this

    identification

    must

    be

    regarded

    with

    great

    circumspection

    t is

    only rarely

    correct.

    To

    minimize these

    difficulties, I

    concentrate here on a

    limited group of

    shapes,

    distinctive

    enough in profile

    and

    decoration to be

    recognizable

    even in mediocre illustrations. Each

    of

    them, also, is clearly associated

    with

    a specific tradition:

    that of

    Athens,

    of

    Pergamon, or

    of

    a third,

    as yet

    unlocated center.

    Attic and

    Pergamene

    West Slope

    The Attic West

    Slope amphora (fig. 1: /),

    created

    around 275, is

    characterized

    by a low ring

    foot,

    a

    cylindrical neck clearly

    offset

    from the body,

    and

    rope handles,

    usually

    with applied satyr masks at the

    base.

    The rim

    is at first gently out-turned, later

    drooping

    and, finally, in the

    2nd

    half

    of

    the

    2nd

    century,

    delicately molded, but never strongly emphasized.

    A

    related but

    quite

    distinct version

    of

    the

    shape was

    produced at Pergamon (fig. 1: 2).' It

    sits on

    a high, spreading

    foot

    with a complex profile,

    and

    ts lower

    body

    is fluted,

    a

    treatment never

    encountered

    on

    the

    Attic

    vessel. The handles

    are straps

    instead

    of

    ropes,

    with rotelles rather

    than

    masks at the base.

    The

    rim is broadly spreading, with

    an

    angular offset,

    balancing

    the

    heavy

    foot

    below. Both

    shapes

    carry West

    Slope

    decoration

    on

    neck and shoulder, but Attic

    amphoras of the late 3rd

    century

    and

    later always have

    a

    checkerboard/rectangle

    frieze

    on

    the shoulder, a

    pattern

    never so used by Pergamene potters.

    Behr

    dated

    the

    introduction of

    the Pergamene

    amphora in

    the late

    2nd

    century,

    solely

    on the basis

    of

    comparison

    with the Attic amphora that it presumably

    imitates.

    But

    ceramic

    forms

    generally traveled

    quickly

    in the

    Hellenistic period,

    and

    Tinos in a context

    of ca.

    230-180,20

    and

    Cypriot derivatives

    of

    the shape come from Paphian

    contexts

    of

    the 3rd and early 2nd

    centuries.

    These instances

    demonstrate that

    the shape was well established by

    the

    early

    2nd century. Less conclusive

    are

    fragments

    of

    what

    appear to

    be

    two

    amphoras,

    one with

    a fluted

    lower body and

    hence

    derivative from the

    Pergamene

    type, from the

    bottom level of

    the Middle

    Hellenistic

    Unit

    at

    Tarsus,22

    dated

    to

    the

    1

    st half

    of

    the

    3rd

    century.

    If

    the

    date

    and

    the

    identification

    of

    the

    fragments are correct, the Pergamene amphora was in

    production before

    the middle

    of

    the 3rd century, no

    more than a generation after the invention of the

    shape

    in Athens.

    West Slope kantharoi

    provide

    a

    second set

    of d istinctive

    shapes.

    The Athenian

    angular

    kantharos,23 a

    creation of

    the

    early

    3rd century,

    has a

    carinated profile

    with a scraped groove at

    the

    point of greatest

    diameter, a straight or

    only

    slightly outcurving rim,

    and

    an ivy leaf or mask thumbrest at the handle arch

    (fig.

    1:

    3). With this may be contrasted

    the

    bauchige Becher of Pergamon, which

    also appears in the 3rd

    century (fig. 1:

    4),24

    with ts S-shaped profile, more strongly out-turned rim, and rotelles rather than

    masks or ivy leaves at the handle arch.25

    A third distinctive form emerges from the

    Pergamene

    repertoire, a

    hemispherical

    krater with heavy

    lug handle and broad, projecting and

    down-curved

    rim, the upper

    surface of

    which is

    decorated

    (fig. 1:

    5).26 The

    form was also

    manufactured

    in

    Athens,27 but only

    in black gloss,

    and it

    was

    never

    exported.

    Behr

    places

    the

    Pergamene

    krater

    in

    the

    2nd

    and

    1st

    centuries,

    but

    fragments

    from

    a

    mid-3rd-

    century

    context

    on

    Chios provide

    evidence

    for an earlier

    date.

    The distribution patterns

    of

    published instances are

    summarized

    in

    fig.

    5 and 6. Attic kantharoi were

    rarely exported; the

    only example

    outside

    of Greece

    is a

    single

    fragment at

    Labraunda. Even

    in Greece,

    Attic kantharoi are

    rare

    and

    occur

    mostly at nearby sites (Corinth, Isthmia, Aigina), though the

    shape

    spawned derivatives in local

    industries throughout

    Greece.

    The Attic

    amphora fared better on the export

    market, with examples at Corinth,

    on

    Delos, Euboia, Aigina, and

    Tinos,

    and even as

    far

    afield as

    Carthage.

    Only

    occasionally

    did it reach the East or the Black Sea

    region.

    Only isolated examples of

    the

    Pergamene

    shapes

    appear in Greece:

    amphoras

    at Corinth and

    on

    Tinos, kraters at

    Athens,

    on

    Thasos

    and

    the Cycladic

    islands. The

    Pergamene kantharos is almost

    completely

    absent,

    though

    imitations

    in Eastern Macedonia, Samothrace,

    and

    Knossos show

    that it

    was

    imported

    to those regions.

    All

    three

    Pergamene shapes,

    however,

    are richly

    represented

    along

    the

    west

    coast

    of

    Asia Minor

    and

    the

    adjacent

    islands;

    examples

    occur also on Cyprus,

    at Tarsus and Antioch, and

    at

    several

    sites in Palestine, as well as at

    Alexandria. The common occurrence

    of Pergamene pottery along

    the

    shores of

    the Black Sea

    has

    frequently

    been

    noted.

    Center:

    The

    location

    of

    a third center remains a mystery, although several scholars have

    drawn

    attention

    to

    ts

    products.29

    It

    produced

    a suite of

    shapes linked by

    distinctive

    decoration. The most commonly

    found

    is

    sometimes has an angular

    confirm Pergamene

    into

    something like the angular Attic form

    (Hayes's

    Type \,fig.

    2,

    4: 1).

    Around

    the outer part

    of

    the floor

    runs

    a large-scale laurel wreath

    or,

    more

    commonly,

    a bold ivy garland in white or

    yellowish

    white,

    with

    long,

    multiple,

    undulating

    stems,

    sometimes marked

    off

    from the center

    of

    the floor by one or

    two

    painted lines. Thus far the plates closely

    follow

    the form

    and decoration (though not

    the

    style) of

    early Hellenistic

    Attic

    plates,

    which could

    have

    served as models.

    But,

    unlike

    the

    Attic

    plates,

    they

    often

    have a stamped

    rosette

    at the

    center of

    the

    floor,

    surrounded

    by radiating palmettes

    (sometimes

    alternating

    with

    painted

    petals) and rouletting.

    Gloss

    may be restricted to the inside

    and

    upper exterior.

    Several

    scholars

    have

    linked these to a series

    of

    plates with a

    concave

    profile and a

    grooved,

    overhanging

    rim (Hayes's

    Type 2, fig. 3, 4: 2): They

    are larger

    (D. 30-41.6 cm.) but have thinner

    walls,

    and swags

    tied

    with bows often replace the

    garlands.

    The ivy or laurel garland is found again

    on

    a

    third shape, a simplified column

    krater

    (fig. 4: 3, 4). A

    small

    jug, also decorated

    with

    the

    distinctive ivy,

    completes

    the

    repertoire

    (fig.

    4: 5).

    ' Contexts

    1

    plates at Paphos

    and Dor

    place the beginning

    of

    production at least

    as

    early

    as

    the 3rd quarter

    of

    the 3rd century. Fragments also turn

    up

    in 2nd-

    century

    contexts,

    though they may be residual.

    Plates of

    Type 1 occur in

    significant concentrations

    at coastal sites from

    Tarsus

    in the north, along

    the

    coast of Palestine and

    into

    Egypt, to Alexandria in

    the south,

    and

    on Cyprus (fig.

    7). They are

    also

    occasionally

    found

    at

    inland

    sites

    in

    Palestine,

    notably

    at

    Samaria

    and

    Maresha.

    Only

    rarely did

    the

    shape

    penetrate

    beyond

    this area: one example at Tel

    Halaf and a few

    at

    Ephesos and

    Rhodes. Plates of

    Type

    2

    are less numerous

    and limited

    to a

    smaller geographic

    radius: no further west than Cyprus,

    and

    chiefly

    at

    coastal sites from Tarsus

    to

    Ashdod.

    The

    more

    limited

    range

    may indicate

    a different

    production

    center

    or chronological range.

    Their distribution shows clearly that these

    vessels

    were manufactured somewhere in the East.

    The

    high quality

    of

    the

    gloss and

    the standard

    decorative

    repertoire suggest a thoroughly

    Hellenized

    center,

    but

    the combination

    of

    stamping

    and

    paint is an innovation that indicates a certain distance from the parent

    tradition.

    Rosenthal-Heginbottom refers them simply

    to an eastern

    workshop, while Hayes opts

    for

    the

    southeast Aegean, Patsiada for the southeast Mediterranean. The

    concentration

    in Palestine is

    remarkable,

    especially

    since WS is otherwise rare there. Yet even at Levantine sites where they occur in

    considerable

    numbers,

    scholars responsible

    for

    their

    publication

    insist

    they

    are

    not

    of

    local

    manufacture;

    the coast from

    Dor to

    Ashdod,

    then,

    must be eliminated. Jean-Paul Morel

    proposed Alexandria as

    a

    source,

    based on the fabric

    and

    the large

    numbers of

    plates

    of

    Type

    1

    that he

    examined

    there/6 Given

    Alexandrian

    taste for imported

    ceramics,

    numbers alone

    cannot be

    decisive, and

    the

    that I have examined do not

    conform

    to the

    silt

    or

    clays

    of

    Egypt.

    Given the pattern

    CONCLUSION

    The

    published

    record indicates that WS

    was

    rare

    in the

    East and

    many

    places were

    heavily dependent

    on

    imports. Attica exported sparingly, mostly to mainland Greece and the

    Cyclades.

    Pergamon's markets

    were larger, expanding

    up and down

    the west coast

    of

    Asia Minor,

    along

    the

    shores of

    the Black Sea,

    and

    occasionally

    as far

    afield

    as

    Cyprus, Syria,

    Palestine,

    and

    Alexandria.

    In

    the

    southern

    Levant, however,

    products of

    the Ivy Platter group

    were

    dominant.

    All

    three groups

    are well

    represented

    at Rhodes and

    Alexandria, both

    major commercial centers.

    There are differences, though, for at

    Rhodes

    Attic

    products

    are liberally represented

    perhaps close

    to

    15% of

    the

    objects published

    by

    Patsiada, not

    so

    much

    less

    than

    the

    25%

    attributed

    to

    Pergamon. This

    may reflect the

    trade

    partnership that brought large numbers of Rhodian

    wine

    amphoras

    to

    Athens. At

    Alexandria, however,

    products of

    Pergamon

    and

    the

    Ivy

    Platter group

    hugely

    outnumber

    Attic

    material.

    The

    situation is different again

    on

    Delos, where Attic WS is better represented than

    Pergamene,

    and

    the

    Ivy Platter group is absent.

    The

    Attic material not surprisingly

    reflects

    the close ties between Athens

    and

    her free

    port, but there may

    also

    be

    a chrono logical

    conclusion to be drawn.

    Most well-published

    Delian

    deposits date to the late 2nd

    and

    early 1st century,

    and

    it is likely that the Ivy Platter Group

    does

    not

    continue

    that

    late.

    Something

    similar

    may

    be

    the

    case

    for

    Pergamene

    WS.

    A

    substantial

    collection

    of

    Pergamene

    appliqu

    ware

    at Delos witnesses that the island

    did

    deal in

    Pergamene

    pottery. The absence

    of

    WS

    may indicate that the style

    had

    been

    largely

    abandoned by the late

    2nd

    century

    and

    may

    thus

    be used

    as another

    slender

    prop in the construction

    of

    ts chronology.

    Large gaps remain

    in

    our

    knowledge,

    due to

    lack

    of

    excavation or

    of

    publication

    of

    fine wares,

    especially from sites

    along the south coast of

    Asia

    Minor.

    This report can, however,

    stand as a

    benchmark

    of

    our knowledge

    of

    WS in the East

    at

    the turn

    of

    the millennium.
