"Black and Plain Pottery of the 6th, 5th and 4th Centuries B.C.","Sparkes, B. A.","Agora","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XII","Agora:Publication:Agora 12","1970","","This massive (two-part) volume focuses on pottery produced between 600 and 300 B.C. with Sparkes discussing the black glaze and Talcott the domestic (household and kitchen) wares of the period. Over 2,040 pieces of black-glaze pottery are catalogued and described, with many drawings and photographs.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0042::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0042.jpg::200::263","Publication"
"Hellenistic Pottery Athenian and Imported Wheelmade Table Ware and Related Material","Rotroff, S.","Agora","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XXIX","Agora:Publication:Agora 29","1997","","The second of two volumes on the Hellenistic fine ware unearthed in excavations in the Athenian Agora, this book presents the Hellenistic wheelmade table ware and votive vessels found between 1931 and 1982, some 1,500 Attic and 300 imported pieces. An introductory section includes chapters devoted to fixed points in the chronology of the pottery, to a general discussion of the decoration of Hellenistic pots, both stamped and painted, or “West Slope,” and to the question of workshops. The author dedicates much of the text to a typology of Attic Hellenistic fine ware, carefully examining the origins, development, chronology, forms, and decoration of each shape. The ordering of the material by function rather than by the form of vessels provides insight into life in Hellenistic Athens. Especially important is the development of a chronological framework that builds upon and refines the author’s earlier work in this area.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0055::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0055.jpg::366::500","Publication"
"Attic Red-Figured and White-Ground Pottery","Moore, M. B.","Agora","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XXX","Agora:Publication:Agora 30","1997","","This volume presents the inventoried red-figure and white-ground pottery found in the Agora Excavations between 1931 and 1967. Although many of these vases have already been published in various reports and special studies, this is the first time that all have appeared together, and this study gives a full accounting of them. Because almost all the shapes known in Attic red figure have been found in the Agora, these pieces provide a unique opportunity for study. The two introductory sections serve as a useful overview for the entire state of knowledge of Attic red-figure painting. The first gives a brief description of each vase shape and its development, and then shows how the Agora pieces fit into this sequence; the second follows this same format for groups of painters. In the catalogue, measurements and descriptions are given for 1,684 pieces, with relevant comparanda and up-to-date references. Inscriptions, graffiti, and dipinti are included, as well as reconstruction drawings of some of the more important or unusual scenes. The volume concludes with deposit summaries, concordance, and six indexes.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0060::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0060.jpg::370::500","Publication"
"Roman Pottery: Fine-Ware Imports","Hayes, J.","Agora","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XXXII","Agora:Publication:Agora 32","2008","","Examples of Roman period red-gloss and red-slip pottery generally termed terra sigillata found during excavations in the Athenian Agora form the focus of this volume. These fine wares, like the other table wares of the first seven centuries A.D. discussed here, were all imported—a very different situation to earlier periods where Athens was known as a great ceramic-making center, and perhaps the result of mass destruction of potters’ workshops during the Sullan sack of 86 B.C. While the image of a demolished pottery industry is tragic, the consequent conglomeration of finewares from many parts of the Roman empire in one city makes the Athenian Agora a tremendous source of comparanda for archaeologists working all round the Mediterranean. Written by the world’s leading expert on Roman pottery, this huge catalogue illustrating and identifying multiple shapes and types of decoration will therefore be an essential reference book.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0062::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0062.jpg::104::150","Publication"
"Hellenistic Pottery: The Plain Wares","Rotroff, S.","Agora","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XXXIII","Agora:Publication:Agora 33","2008","","This manuscript represents the third and final volume in the publication of the Hellenistic pottery unearthed by the American excavations in the Athenian Agora. The first installment (Agora XXII) was devoted to the moldmade bowls and the second (Agora XXIX) to the remainder of the fine ware. The third presents the plain wares, including household pottery, oil containers, and cooking pottery. In all, about 1,400 Hellenistic vessels in these categories have been entered into the excavation record, which are represented here in a catalogue of 847 objects. The study constructs a typology, based on both form and fabric, and a chronology for these ceramics, using the fact that many of the pieces were found in “closed contexts” like wells. Finally, the author discusses the possible functions of the ceramic shapes found, and uses them to reconstruct some of the domestic and industrial activities of Hellenistic Athenians. While it documents the pottery assemblage of one site, this book will be an essential reference tool for archaeologists around the Mediterranean.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0063::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0063.jpg::200::266","Publication"
"Vessel Glass","Weinberg, G.","Agora","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","","Agora XXXIV","Agora:Publication:Agora 34","2008","","Greek and Roman glass from vessels of all sizes and shapes is discussed in this volume which presents 402 fragments of glass vessels excavated in the Athenian Agora. Only 36 pieces date to the Classical and Hellenistic periods, when the Agora was at the height of its importance, and just 15 are assigned to the 9th to 19th centuries. The remaining 350 are subdivided into four periods covering the Roman and Late Antique history of Athens: 86 B.C.-ca . A.D. 100, A.D. 100-267, A.D. 267-395, and A.D. 395-ca. 700. The fragments all have a findspot which allows the author to make some comments about the possible uses of the original vessels. The volume is divided into the following sections: history of the project, historical overview, important contexts, discussion of the catalogue by period and by shape, catalogue, deposit summaries, concordance. Most catalogues of ancient glass present pieces out of context, where function and date can only be guessed at. This volume, by publishing the main types of glass from a single site, provides richer contextual information and will thus be an essential reference work for archaeologists and specialists in ancient art.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0064::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0064.jpg::104::150","Publication"
