"","","Agora V","1959","Pottery of the Roman Period: Chronology","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","A group of closed deposits, ranging in date from the 1st century B.C. to the early 7th century A.D., provide evidence for the relative and absolute chronology of pottery used during many centuries of Roman domination—from the sack of Athens by Sulla in 86 B.C. to the Byzantine period. A descriptive catalogue divides the pottery into eight groups, arranged into chronologically differentiated layers. Prefacing the catalogue of each group, a brief general description gives the location, chronological limitations, basis for dating, etc., and then the individual items are described in considerable detail.","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0036::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0036.jpg::104::150","Publication","Agora","Agora:Publication:Agora 5","Robinson, H.

"","","Agora XXI","1976","Graffiti and Dipinti","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Over 3,000 informal inscriptions scratched or painted on pottery, lamps, or other clay fragments have been found in the excavations of the Athenian Agora. In this volume, 859 of these graffiti and dipinti (representing those with sufficient content to be meaningful) are presented in catalogue and drawings. The texts consist of messages and lists, love names and curses, rough calculations, dedications, commercial and tax notations—in short, all manner of fascinating, all-too-human trivia. An introduction to each category defines the type, indicates special characteristics and suggests parallels, purpose, etc. Each example is illustrated in a line drawing with the exception of the tax notations (dipinti); in this case photographs seemed preferable owing to the fugitive medium and the run-on cursive forms. This skillful presentation of an important body of material contributes significantly to the study of informal Greek, especially in regard to letter forms and spelling, as well as to an understanding of the varying commercial practices in ancient Athens.","","Agora:Image:2009.09.0051::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0051.jpg::296::400","Publication","Agora","Agora:Publication:Agora 21","Lang, M.",""
