The book presents the stratigraphical evidence from excavations of a part of the sanctuary (conducted in the 1930s and 1959-1960), the remains of the Temple of Triptolemos, a Hellenistic stoa, and a propylon, and contains extensive descriptions of the context pottery, a discussion of the ritual vessel plemochoe, and catalogues of inscriptions, sculpture, and architectural pieces from the sanctuary. There is a survey of the topography of the sanctuary and its environs on the North Slope of the Acropolis, and a discussion of its relationship to Eleusis and its position as a landmark within the city of Athens. Since a significant portion of the sanctuary still lies unexcavated under the modern city, the book includes a detailed assessment of the only evidence known so far for the various phases of use of the sanctuary, from the earliest evidence of the 7th century B.C. to the late antique period.","","Agora XXXI","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0061::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0061.jpg::372::500","Agora:Publication:Agora 31","","The City Eleusinion","1998" "Publication","Sparkes, B.","By mingling images on well-preserved Greek vases with the more fragmentary ceramics recovered during excavations at the Agora, the authors show how different vessel forms were used in Classical Athens. By linking the shapes of pots with their social functions, this book gives meaning to the ancient names, such as skyphos, olpe, kantharos, lekane, and hydria, that one encounters when visiting museums. The booklet is illustrated with over 60 black and white photographs.","","AgoraPicBk 1 (1958)","The American School of Classical Studies at Athens","","","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0004::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0004.jpg::200::315","Agora:Publication:Agora Picture Book 1","","Pots and Pans of Classical Athens","1951"
