Le projet de recherche a comme objectif de mieux saisir le commerce corinthien dans le monde grec et méditerranéen oriental en suivant le volume de ses exportations ainsi que les variations régionales et temporelles et en tentant d’en élucider les mécanismes, qu’ils soient d’origine économique, politique ou sociale. Cette étude s’appuie essentiellement sur les céramiques corinthiennes figurées diffusées pendant la plus grande partie de l’époque archaïque, du IXe siècle jusqu’au milieu du VIe siècle avant J.-C. Les céramiques géométriques, non figurées, à vernis noir et les amphores sont également mis à contribution, dans la mesure du possible, pour affiner l’étude, ainsi que les autres produits d’exportation, moins importants sur le plan quantitatif, comme les chevaux de bronze. L’ensemble des exportations est mis en parallèle avec les importations, beaucoup moins nombreuses, afin d’insérer le commerce corinthien dans le cadre plus large des échanges du monde grec et du monde méditerranéen, et de mieux comprendre la nature des relations économiques qui lient Corinthe à chacun de ses partenaires. Une comparaison avec d’autres corpus, plus amples, permet de mettre l’étude en perspective et de confirmer les grands traits de l’évolution du commerce corinthien en Méditerranée orientale. Chaque grande phase de ce commerce (géométrique, protocorinthien, corinthien) est subdivisée en treize périodes, permettant de suivre l’activité économique tout au long de treize générations d’hommes. L’étude par type de forme permet enfin de suivre l’évolution des goûts et des marchés durant toute la période archaïque / The aim of the research project is to better understand Corinthian trade in the Greek and the Eastern Mediterranean world through the analysis of its exports volume and the local and temporal variations while trying at the same time to clarify its economic, political or social mechanisms. This study is mainly based on the figured Corinthian pottery that spread during most of the Archaic Age from the 9th to the 6th century BC. The geometric pottery (non-figured) and the amphora are also used in the analysis as much as possible, to sharpen our study, as well as other exportation products less important in terms of quantities such as bronze horses. The whole of the exports is studied with the imports which were far fewer in order to put the Corinthian trade into the larger setting of the Greek and Mediterranean trade and to have a better understanding of the nature of the economic relations binding Corinth to its trading partners. A comparison with a wider corpus of documents enables us to put the study into perspective and to reinforce the broad features of the Corinthian trade in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Every big stage of this trade (Geometric, Protocorinthian, Corinthian) is subdivided into thirteen periods allowing us to follow the economic activities along thirteen generations of men. Finally, the study of each type of shapes enables us to follow the evolution of tastes and markets during the whole Archaic Age

Nosso objetivo neste trabalho foi estudar a cerâmica de figuras negras tasienses como um documento inserido em contextos arqueológicos, parte dos objetos votivos oferecidos em santuários femininos, com destaque para o Artemísion de Tasos. A pesquisa centrou-se em Tasos, uma ilha situada no norte do Egeu, fundada por gregos de Paros. Concentramo-nos no período arcaico, mais especificamente no século VI a.C., auge das produções locais. A partir dos contextos arqueológicos, aprofundados por meio dos relatórios de escavação, analisamos as relações significativas sociais e religiosas que foram estabelecidas entre materiais votivos associados a esta cerâmica de figuras negras tasienses. Essas relações trouxeram elementos que nos permitiram interpretar o multiculturalismo imbricado aos objetos, o mimetismo e as inovações na decoração destas figuras negras, a demanda em termos quantitativos de um tipo de vaso chamado lêcana, objeto que mostrou-se carregado de informações e significados de culto. Além de características que nos revelaram práticas certamente votivas, desveladas pela sua maneira de exposição, pelos traços decorativos, que até o momento apresentam-se exclusivamente documentadas em Tasos. A pesquisa revelou a relação intrínseca ligada às diversas fases de Ártemis, aos ritos de passagem e à proteção da mulher no parto. Também mostrou que a múltipla Ártemis, protetora da mulher, atua no espaço cívico-religioso em conexão com o oîkos. Por fim, enfatizamos que todos os elementos relacionados acima foram embasados por um escopo teórico (conceito de emaranhamento cultural, recepção e inovação cultural) pertinente para alicerçarmos nossa reflexão acerca do que emergiu da documentação material nos contextos documentados arqueologicamente. / The aim of the present research was to study Thasian black-figured pottery as archaeologically contextualized documents, forming part of the votive objects offered at female sanctuaries, especially the Artemision of Thasos. The research is centered on Thasos, an island situated in the Northern Aegean, settled by Greeks from Paros. We focus on the Archaic Period, more specifically on the sixth century BC, the peak of local production. Departing from the archaeological contexts, illuminated through excavation reports, we analyze significant social and religious connections among votive materials associated with the Thasian black-figured pottery. These connections brought us elements that allowed us to interpret the multiculturalism imbricated within the objects, the mimicry and the innovations in the decoration of this black-figured pottery, as well as the special demand, in quantitative terms, of a type of vessel called lekane, an object that was loaded with information and cultic meanings. In addition, those same elements also showed us traits that reveal votive practices, judging by the way the pottery was exhibited, and its decorative features, which to date are only attested in Thasos. The research revealed intrinsic relationships linked to the diverse facets of Artemis, from a goddess protecting the rites of passage to the protection of women in childbirth. Moreover, it demonstrated that the multiple facets of Artemis, as protectress of women, acts in the civic-religious space in connection with the oíkos. Finally, we emphasize that all the elements referred to above were approached from the theoretical perspective of cultural entanglement, reception and cultural innovation, pertinent in grounding our reflection on what emerges from the material remains associated with the archaeological contexts.
