Publications of materials recovered from ancient shipwreck sites in the Mediterranean increase every decade with each subsequent excavation, adding a wealth of data to the study of ancient Mediterranean societies. To date, however, there have been few detailed discussions of how recovered ceramics are designated as cargo or galley ware. As the field of maritime archaeology continues to grow, the time is ripe to advance methodologies to define and categorize galley ware ceramics, which can thereby aid studies of ancient seafarers and their relationships to the wider societies to which they belonged. This paper presents a methodological framework to aid in the identification of galley wares recovered from ancient Mediterranean shipwrecks and applies the methodology in two case studies. The larger goal of the study is to initiate within the field discussions of functional attribution in order to move beyond intuition and towards an applicable methodological framework.

出售或水手？走向厨房器具功能命名方法论

从地中海古代沉船遗址中回收的材料的出版物每十年都会随着随后的每次挖掘而增加，为古代地中海社会的研究增添了丰富的数据。然而，迄今为止，很少有关于如何将回收的陶瓷指定为货物或厨房用具的详细讨论。随着海洋考古领域的不断发展，推进方法来定义和分类厨房陶瓷的时机已经成熟，从而有助于研究古代海员及其与他们所属的更广泛社会的关系。本文提出了一种方法论框架，以帮助识别从古代地中海沉船中回收的厨房器具，并将该方法应用于两个案例研究。
