L’apport de l’iconographie et de la culture matérielle laconiennes à l’histoire de Sparte (VIe-Ve s. av. J.-C.)** Étudier l’histoire de Sparte pose de manière accrue la question des sources. À la faiblesse de la documentation écrite disponible s’ajoute le problème du « Mirage spartiate ». Si ce dernier est patiemment déconstruit depuis le travail fondateur de F. Ollier, on relève cependant qu’il l’a essentiellement été à partir des testimonia littéraires, tandis que les realia archéologiques restaient peu exploités. Les vases laconiens, figurés ou non, constituent pourtant une source documentaire qu’il est possible d’analyser dans le cadre d’un questionnement historique. Cette étude revient sur la question de l’austérité spartiate. La production des figures noires laconiennes constitue un terrain d’expérimentation privilégié pour reposer les termes du débat. Le croisement des données avec et les textes d’une part et l’ensemble de la culture matérielle contemporaine de l’autre permet de mener une approche comparative. Finalement, l’austérité ne s’avère être que l’une des nombreuses chimères du « Mirage spartiate ». **Archaeology and Images of Spartan Austerity. The contribution of Laconian iconography and material culture to the history of Sparta (6th-5th century BC)** Studying the history of Sparta raises the question of the sources. In addition to the weakness of the available written documentation, occurs the problem of the "Spartan Mirage", that is to say the construction of a historiographical discourse characterised by idealization phenomena, in particular by ancient authors who are usually not Spartans. Although the latter has been patiently deconstructed since F. Ollier's work, it is worth noting that it was mainly based on literary testimonia, while archaeological realia remained little exploited. The laconian vases, figured or not, nevertheless constitute a source that can be analysed in the context of a historical frame. This study proposes to return to one of the essential aspects of the "Mirage", the spartan austerity, whose creation is generally placed during the 6th century. The production of laconian black figures, which experienced its peak of production and decline during this period, constitutes a privileged field of experimentation to restate the terms of the debate. The cross-checking of this data with the texts on the one hand and the contemporary material culture on the other – black glazed vases, bronzes, reliefs, lead and ivory figurines – makes it possible to conduct a comparative approach. The search for parallels in the contemporary pottery series of Athens, Corinth or Boeotia finally offers a way to put in perspective the specificity of the spartan case. Finally, austerity turns out to be only one of the numerous chimeras of the "Spartan Mirage". #### **Projet de recherche à l'École française d'Athènes / Research Project at the École française d'Athènes** **« L’Égée spartiate » : histoire des réseaux de diffusion de la céramique laconienne dans le monde égéen (VIIe-Ve s. av. J.-C.)** Le projet consiste en une étude historique des réseaux de diffusion de la céramique laconienne dans l’espace égéen, de la fin du VIIe s. à la fin du Ve s. av. JC. Il vise à réinscrire la céramique laconienne au sein de son système de production laconien, à reconsidérer l’ampleur de sa diffusion en Égée, à étudier les modalités concrètes et les acteurs de son système de distribution, ainsi que ses contextes d’utilisation. En ce sens, ce projet dépasse le cadre de la céramologie pure, pour proposer une interprétation historique d’un marché céramique, à plusieurs échelles. Dans la continuité de ma thèse, cette recherche vise à démontrer l’intégration de l’économie laconienne dans les échanges égéens, à l’encontre des théories d’un « déclin » de ses productions artisanales et d’un repli sur le marché domestique, résultant de la supposée mise en place d’une politeia isolationniste à Sparte. **"The Spartan Aegean": History of the Distribution Networks of Laconian Pottery in the Aegean World (7th-5th century BC)** The project consists of a historical study of the distribution networks of Laconian pottery in the Aegean area, from the end of the 7th century to the end of the 5th century BC. It aims to reinscribe Laconian pottery within its Laconian production system, to reconsider the extent of its diffusion in the Aegean, to study the concrete modalities and the actors of its distribution system, as well as its contexts of use. In this sense, this project goes beyond the framework of pure ceramology, to propose a historical interpretation of a pottery market, on several scales. In the continuity of my thesis, this research aims at demonstrating the integration of the Laconian economy in the Aegean exchanges, against the theories of a "decline" of its craft productions and of a retreat on the domestic market, resulting from the supposed implementation of an isolationist politeia in Sparta. #### **Programme de recherche / Research Program** Amykles Research Project / Ερευνητικό Πρόγραμμα Αμυκλών (Archaeological Society of Athens).
