Pottery vessels and other ceramic objects constitute important sources for issues of trade and exchange in Antique societies. Most studies on the exchange of ceramics however concentrate on aspects of long-distance trade. Aspects of regional exchange between neighbouring cities have not been given the same attention in the field of Mediterranean archaeology, although they might give important insights into the problems of regional connectivity and they also had greater importance during Antiquity than normally assumed. These newly published conference proceedings comprise case studies from different areas and different periods of the Mediterranean.
