La recente riedizione della necropoli tardo-arcaica di Gela ha mostrato, una volta di più, la centralità della ceramica attica nella scansione dei contesti archeologici, evidenziandone le potenzialità non esclusivamente cronologiche. Approcciarsi al materiale attico significa di conseguenza affrontare il dibattito sorto attorno al sistema impostato da J.D. Beazley, fondato su basi essenzialmente stilistiche. Un concreto ostacolo per ogni nuovo tentativo di attribuzione è l’oggettiva difficoltà di rinvenire nell’edito immagini che possano realmente essere analizzate dal punto di vista stilistico. Il presente contributo, per superare questo limite, propone l’applicazione combinata di nuove tecniche di fotomodellazione 3D al materiale attico, al fine di ottenere una resa grafica della parte figurata, che superi i limiti del tradizionale rilievo diretto.

Abstract
Thanks to its chronological value, Attic pottery is a key tool for the study of archaeological contexts. Its importance is even greater when pottery comes from a closed context, as shown by the recent re-publication of the Late-Archaic necropolis of Gela; in such cases, pottery can be used not only for dating purposes, but also to address a wider range of issues. Approaching the Attic material means facing the debate concerning the system for the attribution of figurative objects inaugurated by J.D. Beazley. A significant obstacle to further attempts at attribution is the objective difficulty to find images that can be analysed from a stylistic point of view. To overcome this limitation, this paper suggests applying a combination of new 3D photo-modelling techniques, in order to obtain a graphic rendering of the painting. Such an approach, we suggest, overcomes the limitations of traditional direct drawing.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
