Ceramics workshops and exchange networks in the south-western Black Sea in the Classical period and the beginning of the Hellenistic period Within the archaeometrical programmes carried out in the framework of the National Research Agency project «Pont-Euxin » and thereafter within the French archaeological team at Apollonia Pontica, a representative sampling of 123 sherds focusing on Apollonia but also extending to the main Greek settlements along the Western Black Sea coast was submitted to XRF chemical analyse. Their data processing revealed (...) the existence of several distinct geochemical groups potentially corresponding to local or regional products. Concerning Apollonia itself, it evidenced the prominent role played by this city in pottery manufacture and distribution throughout the SW Pontic area, unveiling pottery trade networks along the Western Black Sea coast during the classical period.

Our research focuses on the place given to oral assessment in the SEMO teaching scheme in cycle 3 (pupils aged 9 to 11). We examine the possibility of responding to the twofold constraint to which teachers are subject when they assess: taking into account both the competencies of the prescripts and the learning progress of the pupils. After presenting the system, which links curricula and pupil learning, we report on its operationality and the role of assessment in supporting oral language (...) teaching and pupil learning, based on interviews with five teachers who have implemented these sequences.
