Wild Goat style ceramics at Troy and the impact of

Archaic period colonisation on the Troad

Abstract
The establishment of colonies along the Hellespont by inhabitants of Ionia, Athens and Lesbos is well-known from
historical texts. Recently, stratified contexts at Troy as well as other surveys and excavations have yielded new infor-
mation about the chronology and material markers of Archaic period settlements in the Troad and the Gallipoli
peninsula. The archaeological evidence for colonisation in this region is not clearly seen until the late seventh to early
sixth century ВС when there is a dramatic change in the material culture. Destruction evidence from Troy indicates that
the new settlers probably entered a weakened and depopulated region in the second half of the seventh century ВС. The
Ionian colonists transplanted their pottery traditions and started production of East Greek style ceramics in the Troad.
Neutron Activation Analysis of Wild Goat style ceramics found at Troy offers further confirmation for the existence of
Hellespontine Wild Goat style ceramic production centres. The Wild Goat style examples from Troy help to define the
characteristics of the Hellespontine group, as well as the chronology and impact of colonisation in this area.
