The rituals performed in the Phoenician cult places have traditionally been reconstructed primarily on the basis of architectural remains and sculptural finds. However, even if the exact role ceramics or other objects played in the rituals is unknown, it was certainly not secondary. New work carried out at the cult place of Kharayeb by an Italian-Lebanese mission has produced unusually detailed documentation of such finds, and provides a richer context for the consideration the little data about pottery already published by M. Chéhab and I. Kaoukabani. In particular attention has focused on the use of small and miniaturized pottery (from figurines to miniature vessels) in rituals at the site. With reference to recent research on these issues and comparison with similar practices in the Near East, Greek, and western Phoenician worlds this article proposes new hypotheses on the meaning of ritual practices involving small objects.

微型世界的神圣表现：在 KHARAYEB 的腓尼基教堂举行的带有小雕像和小型和微型陶器的仪式

传统上，在腓尼基崇拜场所举行的仪式主要是根据建筑遗迹和雕塑发现进行重建的。然而，即使陶瓷或其他物品在仪式中所起的确切作用不为人知，但它肯定不是次要的。意大利-黎巴嫩代表团在 Kharayeb 的宗教场所开展的新工作为此类发现提供了异常详细的文件，并为考虑 M. Chéhab 和 I. Kaoukabani 已经发表的关于陶器的少量数据提供了更丰富的背景。特别关注在现场仪式中使用小型和微型陶器（从小雕像到微型器皿）。参考最近对这些问题的研究以及与近东类似做法的比较，希腊，
