| Summary: | One of the more perplexing problems associated with the emergence of the Phoenicians is the question of the origins and beginnings of distinctly Phoenician pottery. That style has long been defined, and its basic elements have now become known in some detail as a result of excavations at Sarepta and Tyre. Efforts to pinpoint the origins and initial stages of Phoenician pottery production, however, have met with difficulties of chronology, historical verifiability, and inconsistent evidence. New perspectives may result from combining aspects of typology (form and decoration) with function and method of manufacture (potting traditions). This article focuses on two kinds of Phoenician bichrome pottery, the strainer-spouted jug and the globular ridge-necked jug. Illustrations are drawn from the relevant pottery of Cyprus, the Aegean, Philistia, and Phoenicia, noting both similarities and differences. |
