SUMMARY:Economic Complexity in the 7th Century AD
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture Heath will describe his work on a mid-7th 
 century AD group of amphoras and related objects - such as stoppers an
 d funnels - found in 1976 at Kenchreai\, the Aegean port of the ancien
 t city of Corinth. This material is now being studied by the American 
 Excavations at Kenchreai sponsored by Vanderbilt University by permit 
 of the Greek Ministry of Culture. Most of the amphoras are regionally 
 produced and Heath will show how these can be easily distinguished fro
 m the many imported forms\, including examples from near Cyprus and re
 gions within ancient Palestine. The local amphoras come in two sizes a
 s do the amphora stoppers that may have sealed them. There are at leas
 t two forms of funnel. As with many late imperial historical contexts\
 , the Seventh Century AD in the Mediterranean was a time of turmoil an
 d a time of ongoing economic activity.
