2024. "colonization, Greek: Oxford Classical Dictionary"

The article opens with historiography, discussing the problems implicit in the use of terms such as "colonies" and "colonization" and the tendency of modern scholarship to view early Greek settlement abroad through the lens of modern colonization. Next comes an account, based on the textual and archaeological record, of the foundation of apoikiai (the Greek term for "colonies") in South Italy and Sicily, the Black Sea region, North Africa, southern France, and northern Spain. A!er this presentation of the main apoikiai established in the period under consideration, the article mentions other forms of early Greek settlement abroad, including trading stations (emporia) and forms of cohabitation between Greeks and non-Greeks in settlements that were neither apoikiai nor emporia. Finally, the article addresses three critical problems traditionally associated with discussions of early Greek settlement abroad: the various explanations provided by ancient and modern literature for this large migration, which is now generally attributed to social crises within the context of growing populations at home; the relations between the new, politically independent foundations and their metropoleis, which are o!en emphasized by ancient authors and modern scholars but may have varied considerably over time; and the encounters and entanglements between the Greeks and numerous other ethnic groups inhabiting the Mediterranean and Black Seas, which ultimately gave rise to new historical realities that shaped Mediterranean history at large.

Based on the analysis of the Phoenician and Punic pottery from the Institute of Fine Arts–NYU and University of Milan excavations in the main urban sanctuary, this article shows the extent of these trade networks in comparison with the data available from other Greek cities in Sicily and suggests the possible use of some ceramic containers in ritual activities performed in this sacred area. In addition, a few pottery fragments suggest the occasional consumption of wine and food according to Phoenician and Punic practices.

It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to discover the triumphs and remarkable progress made this past season at our archaeological sites around the world. Among the many highlights of the season, the team in Selinunte carried out its ninth campaign of excavation leading to discoveries of the earliest onset of Greek colonial occupation. Those in Aphrodisias worked to prepare the northern section of the Hadrianic Baths, readying the space for public viewing at the end of the season. Across the Mediterranean in Abydos, the Institute received a sizable grant from the American Research Center in Egypt's Antiquities Endowment Fund to finish construction of a new storage wing, with expected completion in 2016. Finally, in Samothrace, amidst the closure and renovation of the museum there, the IFA excavation team laid important groundwork for two new major projects to begin in 2016.

Figurines of male and female musicians are emblematic of the close link between musical practice and the sacred and ritual spheres. They contribute not only to the reconstruction of what music and the production of music meant for ancient societies, but also provide information concerning the relationship of performance to the deities, and about which musical instruments were best suited to the particulars of diverse ritual occasions, including sacred and funerary contexts.

The project is part of a broader research, concerning the appreciation of the Ancient Greek musical heritage in its historical context, identified here with the musical history of a Greek city in the West from the Archaic down to the Hellenistic period. The study combines the methods of archeology and musicology towards the analysis of the ancient remains and depictions of musical instruments and performances, considering their findspot and context of use, in order to place musical activities in a well-defined space and occasion and to interpret the cultural, religious and social meaning of Ancient Greek musical performances.
It will analyze the historical context of music and its performance at Selinus, in relation to political and social changes. It will review the archaeological documentation in order to understand the role of Selinus in the field of the art of music in the Ancient Greek world. The study aims to analyze the musical performances in the sanctuaries of this Greek city and their relationship with ritual and cult. It will also include a virtual reconstruction of the musical instruments and an interactive map of the musical performances in the various sacred areas of Selinus.
The project will be carried out in an institution that is world leading in both fields of Art History and Conservation (New York University). It will involve active training of the main researcher on multidisciplinary research tools, including Ancient Greek Art and Archaeology, and 3D Modeling applied to the reconstruction of musical instruments. The project will improve the excellence of the return host (Beni culturali-University of Bologna) in the field of Archaeomusicology. The project will raise the prospects of the main researcher (Dott. Angela Bellia) to reach a prominent academic position in her field of research and teaching.
