Micaceous White Painted Ware from insula 104 at Hierapolis/Pamukkale, Turkey
The study of the changes that affected urban communities from Late Antiquity into the Medieval period has been one of the most debated issues over the past twenty years of scientific research on Asia Minor. For several years, the study of the changes that affected urban life in Asia Minor from late Antiquity into the Medieval period have been hampered by the lack of reliable and extensive evidence, whether in the form of literary and documentary sources, or in the form of archaeological evidence and material culture. Only recently, trends have changed and archaeologists working in Turkey have been increasingly focusing their attention on the period comprised between the V and the Mid-Byzantine period, in search of the evidence necessary to understand and define the social, cultural and economic transformations that affected local communities and their lifestyle after late Antiquity. It is within this general context that the article presents and discusses the Mid-Byzantine ceramics and related archaeological data, retrieved from recent excavations in insula 104 at Hierapolis

The symbolism of spinning in Classical Art and Society
Different types of sources attest to spinning in the Roman world, ranging from iconography to epigraphy, from literature to the artefacts found in the archaeological record. Each source provides us with a different perception into the process: for instance, spinning required implements, the study of which helps our understanding of technology. On the other hand, the products obtained, and above all textiles, could serve practical/functional as well as social purposes: therefore textiles could also carry social and cultural messages. Similarly, stages of their production and implements used, could also acquire religious, cultural and social significance. This paper analyses these latter aspects, in the attempt to explore the symbolism of spinning in the Roman world. The main aim is to identify how the ancients perceived and conveyed the different meanings attached to this process through time. Then, the analysis focuses on Roman funerary art and contexts, where spinning implements frequently appear among the objects chosen for the self-representation of the deceased as indicators of one, or more, of the following categories: gender, social identity, social status, rank and role of the deceased in society
