Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2004.

The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the acculturation and differentiation at the site of al-Mina (one of the ports of Antioch) through its material culture (coins, pottery, and glass). The site was excavated in 1936 and 1937 by Sir Leonard Woolley, who did not retain all of the objects from the excavations. While all of the coins were kept, only the decorated, glazed, or large pieces of pottery and glass now survive. Despite the incompleteness of the evidence, this dissertation demonstrates that it is possible to use this material to understand socio-cultural changes within the population at the site and in the Antiochene region in general. The goal of this dissertation is to produce an archaeological history of al-Mina in the Byzantine, Islamic, and Crusader periods by applying the model of acculturation and differentiation to the site. This model has been developed based upon studies of hellenization and romanization, and argues that one would expect to see the material culture change after a major social or political transition. As the official output of the government, coins are the most sensitive to socio-political change, while pottery and glass sometimes exhibit continuity without change until many years after historically significant events. Nine hundred years of archaeological history (A.D. 350--1268) are examined, but the concentration is on the periods of cultural transition: Late Roman/Early Byzantine (A.D. 300--400), Early Byzantine/Early Islamic (A.D. 600--700, Early Islamic/Middle Byzantine (A.D. 900--1000), and Middle Byzantine/Crusader (A.D. 1100--1200).*
