Pottery from a Roman House to the West of the Bouleuterion at Miletus (Ionia)

Abstract

A century of archaeological excavations in Miletus has revealed a range of Roman houses. Since the Roman residential buildings were discovered within the scope of research projects that focussed on the Mycenean and Archaic settlement of the city, these ruins didn’t get the attention they deserved. This article seeks to contribute to filling this gap. During the excavations in the East-West Trench to the West of the Bouleuterion in 1959 a peristyle court with mosaic floor that apparently belongs to an Atrium House was discovered. Selected deposits from the strata above and below the mosaic floor as well as from the Byzantine Cistern in the close proximity of the peristyle court provide important evidence for identifying the different phases of the occupation. Little is known about the general characteristics of the pottery from residential contexts in Miletus. In the third part of the article the repertoire and origin of the table and kitchen ware as well as the transport amphorae from the Atrium House in the East-West Trench are addressed.
