Dissertation Project

Working title: “Unteritalisch-sizilisch rotfigurige Keramik zwischen Karthago und Syrakus im zweigeteilten Sizilien des späten 5., 4. und 3. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.”

The dissertation project includes research into the archaeological contextualisation of South-Italian and Sicilian red-figure pottery in Sicily in the late 5th, 4th and 3rd centuries BC, a time which was mostly shaped by the geopolitical conflict between Syracuse and Carthage. Using various analytical categories, the aim of the project is to make out con- and divergent consumption patterns between the Punic west and the Syracusan east of the island. Moving away from the important historical events of this period, however, the thesis focuses primarily on the actors of the indigenous settlements of the Sicilian inland and the functionality of South-Italian and Sicilian red-figure pottery as a proxy for the visualisation of local agencies as well as group dynamics and identity formation within these indigenous communities. The hypothesis of the dissertation is that the supposedly clear boundary between the Carthaginian west and the Syracusan east of Sicily is blurred based on the contextualisation of South-Italian und Sicilian red-figure pottery in the micro-consumption-landscapes of the individual archaeological features. The results of the work could therefore contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of local communities in western Sicily in the conflict between Syracuse and Carthage from the 5th to the end of the 3rd century BC.
