Aspectos comerciales acerca de dos fragmentos de cerámica ática procedentes del Puerto de Ibiza

Abstract

This article deals about an attic fishplate found in the harbor of Ibiza. The first item has a double graffito, one Greek and one Punic. This two syllabics cannot be clearly related to administrative or commercial purposes, neither as a simply mark of personal property. However, these two vessels, which clearly fall within the scope of trade with Attic pottery production from the Central Mediterranean to the far West, allow revising the models of their transmission; which are now linked more with the Punic world than with a direct Greek trade. So, the two pieces presented here are discussed within the postulated "double commercial circuit". This trade flow affected the island of Ibiza by a rather selective way, reflected simultaneously not only by the imported materials but also from their local imitations. The two ceramic forms presented here were barely represented in the repertoire published so far. This is a clear result of the state of research focused almost exclusively on grave goods, to the disadvantage of the contexts of daily live, which may very well show a greater repertoire of forms.
