"","","","Agora:Publication:Hesperia Supplement 8","","Commemorative Studies in Honor of Theodore Leslie Shear","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","1949","Agora","Among many other accomplishments, T. Leslie Shear was Director of the American School excavations at the Athenian Agora when they began in 1931. He was also closely involved with excavations at ancient Corinth, excavated by the School since 1896. It is fitting, therefore, that the majority of the 45 contributors to this memorial volume focus on materials from these two excavations. The book includes a bibliography of Shear’s work.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0070::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0070.jpg::760::1001","Hesperia Suppl. 8 (1949)","","Publication"
"","","Lang, L.","Agora:Publication:Agora 25","","Ostraka","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","1990","Agora","The scraps of pottery on which were written the names of candidates for ostracism are one of the most intriguing pieces of evidence for ancient democracy found in the Athenian Agora. This book is a complete catalogue and discussion of these sherds. Chapter One discusses the history of ostracism in Athens with brief remarks about the “candidates.” Chapter Two concentrates on the physical evidence of the ostraka, their identification, appearance, and content. Chapter Three presents the groups in which most of them were found; their distribution is indicated on a plan of the excavation area. Chapter Four is the catalogue of 1,145 ostraka, arranged by candidates. To these pieces are appended the 191 ostraka, almost all nominating Themistokles, found by Oscar Broneer in a well on the North Slope of the Acropolis. A large number of the Agora ostraka are illustrated with line drawings, a representative selection with photographs.","Agora:Image:2009.09.0056::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0056.jpg::372::500","Agora XXV","","Publication"
