Abstract

Archaeological fieldwork in Israel has testified to the presence of a variety of imported glazed table wares of the 19th and first half of the 20th century—notably from the northeast Mediterranean, Europe and the Far East—in numerous locations, including in rural sites of various ranks. The influx of import of these ceramics to the southern Levant and their widespread use reflect the intensifying commercial activity in the eastern Mediterranean and the gradual processes of globalization and quasi-Westernization or modernization among certain local populations. This article examines the extent of use of imported table wares among 19th to early 20th-century Palestinian Arab rural societies, the modes of use of these vessels in food consumption contexts, and consequently the power of foreign (culinary) objects to modify local (dining) traditions. These aspects are investigated by using archaeological materials, historical photographs and some written testimonies. This review shows, on the one hand, that imported table wares were integrated into local kitchens and functioned alongside locally-produced vessels. On the other hand, although many of these imports—specifically the European ones—were originally designated for individual eating, it is shown here that their influence on local, well-rooted traditions of communal dining was minor, especially among the great majority of the countryside population.

19 世纪和 20 世纪初巴勒斯坦农村的进口餐具及其对当地饮食习惯的融入(和影响?
以色列的实地考古工作证明,在许多地方,包括在不同等级的农村遗址中,都发现了 19 世纪和 20 世纪上半叶进口的各种釉面餐具--主要来自地中海东北部、欧洲和远东地区。这些陶瓷大量进口到南黎凡特并被广泛使用,反映了地中海东部地区商业活动的加剧,以及某些当地居民逐渐走向全球化和准西方化或现代化的过程。本文研究了 19 世纪至 20 世纪初巴勒斯坦阿拉伯农村社会使用进口餐具的程度、这些餐具在食品消费环境中的使用模式,以及由此产生的外来(烹饪)物品改变当地(餐饮)传统的力量。我们利用考古材料、历史照片和一些书面证词对这些方面进行了研究。综述显示,一方面,进口餐具融入了当地厨房,并与当地生产的器皿一起发挥作用。另一方面,尽管许多进口餐具--尤其是欧洲进口餐具--最初是用于个人用餐的,但本文显示,它们对当地根深蒂固的集体用餐传统的影响很小,尤其是在绝大多数农村人口中。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Islamic Archaeology is the only journal today devoted to the field of Islamic archaeology on a global scale. In the context of this journal, “Islamic archaeology” refers neither to a specific time period, nor to a particular geographical region, as Islam is global and the center of the “Islamic world” has shifted many times over the centuries. Likewise, it is not defined by a single methodology or theoretical construct (for example; it is not the “Islamic” equivalent of “Biblical archaeology”, with an emphasis on the study of places and peoples mentioned in religious texts). The term refers to the archaeological study of Islamic societies, polities, and communities, wherever they are found. It may be considered a type of “historical” archaeology, in which the study of historically (textually) known societies can be studied through a combination of “texts and tell”.
