Yelyzaveta I. Akhypova, Icons from the 10th–13th centuries in Stone, Bone and Ceramics from Ukraine.A catalogueCluj – Napoca 2025ISBN 978-606-020-907-2256 S./pp., Farb- und S/W-Abb./colour and b/w-figs., 28 x 22 cm; kartoniert/hardcover This book is devoted to a very special circle of works that have reached us from the art of Kyiv Rus of the late 10th-11th centuries, and from the artistic heritage of those principalities, which after the collapse of the vast Kyiv state were formed in the southern and south-western parts of its territory. These principalities continued to exist in the 12th-13th centuries, until the invasion of the Tatar-Mongol hordes in 1230-40s, i.e. in the pre-Mongol period, and partly survived in the following decades. When it comes to the artistic culture of that vast world, we usually remember, first of all, the ecclesiastical architecture, the mosaics and the frescoes of the churches of Kyiv and Chernihiv, the enormous 11th-century icons of Novgorod, made, apparently, by artisans then visiting Kyiv, the miniatures of the 1056-57 Ostromir Lectionary, the decorations of other outstanding illustrated manuscripts, as well as the precious gold and silver jewelry, decorated with cloisonné enamel and other exquisite methods of jewelry art. The monumental sculpture also existed in that world: carvings in white stone (limestone) on the facades of some churches, narrative and ornamental plastic of certain interior elements such as remarkable reliefs(both patterned and narrative) on the slate slabs that decorated Kyiv’s churches. However, monumental sculpture and relief played relatively a modest role in that artistic world. This assessment of the role of sculpture will not change much even if we recall the existence of wooden sculpture, the art inherited from pagan times and known to us from the few surviving relatively late works of the north-east and north-west of Rus, which being largely primitive in nature have reached us only in small numbers due to the poor preservation of the material employed.

Andrei Opaiț, The Sacred Area Sector Roman Coarseware (1st - 7th centuries) (Histria XVI)Cluj – Napoca 2024ISBN 978-606-020-839-6184 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcover The history and evolution of the old Milesian colony Histria is quite well known from numerous articles and an impressive series of monographs that have discussed many archaeological discoveries from the Archaic to the Roman era. There is no need, therefore, to summarize their contents here. This study of the coarseware ceramics from the Sacred Area sector called also “sector T”, at Histria seeks to bring to light an archaeological material generally neglected by the publications of this sector. Because Roman ceramics were not usually retained in the course of excavations in the Sacred Area sector, the number of pieces in this study is smaller than the number analyzed in a relatively recent monograph focusing on more thoroughly-collected Roman ceramics from other sectors. We can add numerous other ceramic publications that have appeared since this monograph especially in recent years. In turn, the “Sacred Area sector “ sector has been discussed in numerous publications, and summarized in two recent articles published by A. Avram and his collaborators, and one published by F. Munteanu. Although the focus of the former article is on the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, when the temples in this area were in use, several pages are also dedicated to the Roman period when this sector changed its sacred character and became, for a short period, an artisanal area and then until the 7th century AD a residential district. The second article pays more attention to the Roman quarter, which featured a large “Constantinian house” covering 380 m², with four rooms and an internal court with peristyle, built perhaps during the second half of the 4th century. During the 6th century this edifice was repurposed and subdivided into many rooms with storage functions. Perhaps also in the 6th century, a series of other buildings-perhaps simple houses-were constructed to the south of this edifice, containing dolia, mortaria, and many vasa potatoria, coquinatoria and amphorae.

Farb-Abb. / num. colour figs., 30 x 22 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverbulgarisch mit englischer Zusammenfassungbulgarian with a summary in english The monograph examines 103 painted vessels discovered during the excavations of the necropolis of ancient Apollonia Pontica in the 1990s. The ceramic forms and images are examined in their archaeological and cultural-historical context. Created in classical Athens in the 5th-4th centuries BC, pictorial narratives on vessels played the role of one of the most influential media in the dissemination of the values of Athenian society. At the same time, they clearly capture the identity of the multicultural community that was formed on the territory of the Pontic city as a result of contacts with various centres in the Mediterranean world, with the inhabitants of Inner Thrace and with the powerful Thracian kingdoms in the area. The edition contains 233 illustrations and 10 tables with data on the context of the objects, the composition of the clay and statistical information.

Margarit Damianov, Black-glaze pottery from the necropolis of Apollonia Pontica: Typological and chronological study /Чернофирнисова керамика от некропола на Аполония понтика: Типологическо и хронологическо изследване(Excavations and Research / Разкопки и проучвания, vol. 49)Sofia 2023ISBN 978-619-245-376-3296 S./pp., Farbabb./colour-figs., 28,5 x 20 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverbulgarisch mit ausführlicher Zusammenfassung in englischbulgarian with extended summary in english The present study is dedicated to some of the finds from a type of archaeological structures that are specific to the Classical and Hellenistic necropolis of Apollonia: the so-called "ritual fireplaces". These are remains of rituals carried out in the necropolis and related to food consumption or offerings and libations for the dead. Ritual fireplaces are usually discovered between the graves, most often next to stone walls and other structures delimiting burials or groups of burials. The repertoire of finds from the ritual fireplaces comprises mainly pottery: mostly black-glaze and plain vases, rarely painted (red-figure) ones. The shapes are mainly for serving food. Less represented are terracotta figurines, metal items, funerary wreaths, etc. It should be emphasized that the scope of the present study is modest: it analyzes only 45 out of hundreds of ritual fireplaces investigated in the necropolis of Apollonia in the last three decades. The analysis of several dozen fireplaces aims to partially fill a gap in the existing literature dealing with black-glaze pottery from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.The monography comprises an introduction and three main chapters: Chapter I. Black-glaze pottery from the ritual fireplaces in the necropolis of Apollonia: Types and chronology, Chapter II. Catalogue of the black-glaze pottery with a commentary on the context (some 400 vases from investigations in Kalfata, Budzhaka, and Mesarite localities), and Chapter III. Other pottery. The conclusion discusses specific and the general problems of the pottery in the fireplaces, problems of chronology, and an attempt to bind archaeological evidence with historical processes.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcover Der vorliegende Band komplettiert die zurzeit umfassendste Auswertung einer archäologischen Untersuchung in der Zivilsiedlung von Vindobona. Jetzt ist die Möglichkeit geboten, das bislang besser erforschte militärische Zentrum – das Legionslager – dem zivilen vergleichend gegenüberzustellen und die Unterschiede wie auch die Gemeinsamkeiten aufzuzeigen. Mit der Vorlage der oxidierend gebrannten Gebrauchskeramik der Ausgrabungen in Wien 3, Rennweg 44 wird ein langjähriges Projekt zum Abschluss gebracht, das der Untersuchung mehrerer Parzellen im Zentrum der römischen Zivilsiedlung von Vindobona gewidmet war. Diese Keramik bietet einmal mehr Einblick in den Lebensraum von Handwerkern und Händlern an der wichtigen Verkehrsverbindung zwischen den Legionsstandorten Vindobona und Carnuntum. So wird etwa die Beeinflussung lokaler Vindobonenser Produktion durch Import und eventuell auch durch die Mobilität von Töpfern beleuchtet. Die Ergebnisse der archäometrischen Analysen vermögen es zudem lokale/regionale Produkte von denjenigen anderer Regionen abzugrenzen.Gebrauchskeramik unterlag nur einem geringen Formenwandel, sodass eine Typologie für nur bedingt stratifizierte Funde eines über 300 Jahre lang genutzten Areals lediglich grobe chronologische Einordnungen zulässt. Durch das Heranziehen von Parallelen aus den näher gelegenen Regionen, aber auch aus Gebieten von Germanien, Rätien bis Mösien wird versucht, Datierungen zu präzisieren.Die Beurteilung der Gefäßformen lässt Rückschlüsse zu auf Essgewohnheiten, Speisenzubereitung sowie Lagerhaltung. Für Letzteres sind die festgestellten Rückstände von Pech auf einigen Keramikfragmenten von Bedeutung.
