Die Synchronisierung der nordlichen Levante und Kilikiens mit der agaischen Spatbronzezeit
by Tobias Muhlenbruch
English summary: For several decades we know quite a lot of sites in the northern Levant which yield Aegean finds, especially Mycenaean pottery and figurines. This study contains a catalogue of Mycenaean pottery, importated as well as locally made, found in Syria, the Lebanon and Cilicia in undisturbed contexts. These are of particular importance for the synchronization with sites in Southern Greece. There, the typology of the Mycenaean pottery is ensured by several settlement sequences.In a first step the contexts of each site are described and specified. Second, there is a list of the finds found in these contexts and a detailed description and dating of the sherds and vessels by using the present-day standards. For each of the 25 sites a historical summary is given.Beside the dating, another potential of the Mycenaean pottery could be exploited, concerning the question of their “value” and “meaning” by studying their contexts. Unfortunately, only a few sites offered the possibility to investigate the contexts of the Mycenaean vessels as well as the contexts of the local and the imported Cypriote pottery. By dealing with imported objects, also the trade networks in the Eastern Mediterranean in the course of the Late Bronze Age had to be studied. German description: Importfunde aus der Agais und ihre Imitate aus Siedlungen und Grabern an der Levantekuste kennt die Forschung schon seit Jahrzehnten, vor allem mykenische Keramik und Figurinen. Mit dieser Studie wird ein Katalog derjenigen mykenischen Gefasse und Scherben vorgelegt, die aus geschlossenen Funden in Kilikien, Syrien und dem Libanon stammen, unabhangig ihres Herstellungsortes in Sudgriechenland, auf Zypern oder in der Levante. Objekte aus geschlossenen Kontexten sind dabei von besonderer Bedeutung fur die Synchronisierung mit Sudgriechenland, wo die Typologie der mykenischen Keramik durch Siedlungsstratigraphien abgesichert ist. Im ersten Teil der Studie werden die Kontexte jedes Ortes vorgestellt und die Funde aus ihnen mit einer Bestimmung tabellarisch aufgelistet. Es folgt die ausfuhrliche Beschreibung und Datierung der Stucke. Abschliessend wird fur jeden der 25 Statten eine historische Auswertung vorgenommen. Neben der Datierung interessiert in einem zweiten Teil die Frage nach dem “Wert” und der “Bedeutung” der mykenischen Keramik in der Levante. Dafur werden ausgewahlte Kontexte studiert, wobei leider nur wenige die Moglichkeit boten, das Auftreten mykenischer Keramik im Vergleich mit lokalen und zyprischen Funden zu betrachten. Im Zusammenhang mit Importfunden wird auch auf die Handelsstrukturen wahrend der Spatbronzezeit im Ostmittelmeerraum eingegangen.
