The results of interaction, and more specifically the repercussions of cross-cultural interactions on different cultural groups, represents an ever-changing debate within archaeological and historical research. This is immediately apparent in an analysis of classical Greek colonialism during the first millennium B.C.E. Traditional approaches viewed cultural interactions within Mediterranean archaeology through binary comparisons between 'Greek' and 'Others' that resulted from unequal acculturation, or Hellenism. In recent years, the narrative has been changing about the relationships between Greek colonies and the indigenous colonized toward a postcolonial perspective emphasizing multiple histories, identities, practices, and agencies within cultural encounters.Within Bulgarian, and specifically Thracian, archaeology the interpretations of Thracian-Greek relationships have been inundated by the colonialist perspective, which results in a disparity between archaeological material considered to reflect Greek activity and those deemed indigenous. Colonial undertones produce interpretations aimed at showing the presence of Greek natives or the influence of Greek habits within Thrace without considering a major cultural material for the understanding of non-elite daily life - ceramics. Although indigenous Thracian ceramics are one of the most common artifacts excavated from Iron Age archaeological sites across Thrace, they are one of the most understudied classes of material culture from the same period.This dissertation examines changes in ceramic manufacturing and consumption throughout the Iron Age during the long-term relationship between Thracians and Greeks. The aim is to assess the ways in which local ceramic technology and tradition changed with an assessment of how Greek culture may have impacted such changes. This assessment was done through the analysis of the ceramic assemblage from two different Iron Age sites in inland Thrace. The first is a rescue excavation, Zavoy is an Early to Late Iron Age small settlement near a larger developing urban center. The other, Emporion Pistiros, is a highly debated long term excavation of a larger Late Iron Age urban settlement with a greater presence of Greek imports. The comparisons of these sites through traditional typological and modern statistical evaluations led to characterizations of the ceramic industry at each and how it developed through time.Secondly, representative ceramic samples were selected from each of the archaeological sites to conduct archaeometric testing, which has been underutilized until now in Bulgaria. The materials were analyzed through thin section petrography and x-ray fluorescence spectrometry to further understand microscopic features of the clay and firing conditions beyond what is possible macroscopically. Local clay-rich soils were also collected and compared to the ceramic samples elemental signatures through energy dispersive spectrometry to pinpoint the location of clay acquisition in the local environment.Through such an analysis, the creation of a hybrid culture of wheel made ceramics became apparent, but this additional cultural adoption did not authoritatively change Thracian ceramic culture. Ceramic hand making tradition did not change throughout the period and the wheel made pottery disappeared after only a couple hundred years showing that consumeristic ideas changed but technological knowledge and choice persisted.
