ΠΗΛΙΝΕΣ ΜΗΤΡΕΣ ΑΓΓΕΙΩΝ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΠΕΛΛΑ. ΣΥΜΒΟΛΗ ΣΤΗ ΜΕΛΕΤΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΤΙΚΗΣ ΚΕΡΑΜΙΚΗΣ

THE STUDY DEALS WITH 330 MOULDS AND FRAGMENTS OF MOULDS FOR MOLDMADE RELIEF VASES OF THE HELLENISTIC PERIOD. THE MOULDS WERE FOUND IN A POTTERY WORKSHOP LOCATED IN THE MARKET PLACE (AGORA) OF HELLENISTIC PELLA; ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WEREDISCOVERED IN THE DESTRUCTION DEBRIS OF TWO CONSECUTIVE ROOMS, WHICH FORMED THE WORKSHOP. THEY WERE MADE OF LOCAL CLAY AND TURNED ON THE WHEEL. THEIR DECORATION WAS ACHIEVED BOTH BY HAND AND BY THE USE OF STAMPS. MOST OF THE PIECES ARE ADORNED WITH FLORAL DECORATION. A NUMBER OF THEM, HOWEVER, CARRIES A NARRATIVE FREIZE. THE MOULDS WERE DECORATED BY MEANS OF 108 FLORAL STAMPS, 90 HUMANFIGURES, 16 ANIMAL STAMPS AND 8 STAMPS WITH VARIOUS OBJECTS. THESE STAMPS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED IN A SERIES OF FRAGMENTARY VASES MADE IN PELLA AND FOUND IN VARIOUS MACEDONIAN SITES. FLORAL DECORATION CONSISTS MOSTLY OF LEAVES, ROSETTES, PALMETTES AND TENDRILS. NARRATIVE FRIEZES ARE DECORATED WITH SCENES INSPIRED BY ANCIENT TEXTS. THESE SCENES ARE CLOSELY RELATED TO ABSTRACTS OF THE WORKS OF EURIPIDES, SOPHOCLES ETC. THE MOULD WORKSHOP PRODUCED VARIOUS DIFFERENT KINDS OF PRODUCTS. THE MOULDS WERE MADE AND DECORATED BY FOUR ARTISANS. THE SAME WORKSHOP MADE THE STAMPS, TURNED THE VASES ON THE WHEEL, SAW THEM THROUGH THE KILNS AND FINALLY DISPOSED THE PRODUCTS. THE NATURE OF THE DESTRUCTION DEBRIS OF THE MOULD WORKSHOP, AS WELL AS MANY OTHER ROOMS IN THE AGORA INDICATES THAT THE COMPLEX WAS DESTROYED BY A NATURAL VIOLENT CAUSE, AND EARTHQUAKE. THE LAST OBJECTS FROM THE DESTRUCTION DEBRIS OF THE WORKSHOPS AND THE WASTERS OUTSIDE THE ROOMS DATE THE EVENT AT THE END OF THE FIRST DECADE OF THE 1ST CENTURY B.C.
