The consumption of coffee in the early modern period is often fixed to the image of the seditious and raucous coffeehouse or with the ritual of offering a guest hospitality. The material accompaniments of coffee consumption, however, frequently go understudied. This article concentrates on Ottoman Greece and Cyprus and seeks to coalesce archaeological data to understand better the material role of coffee consumption on the Greek and Cypriot landscape through the presence of Kütahya wares. The narrative that emerges emphasizes a material role in status display, arguing that Kütahya wares form an archaeological marker of a rural elite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
