M." "The author has used the trustworthy chronological data supplied by the scientific excavation of “closed deposits” at the Athenian Agora to build a continuous series of lamp types from the 7th century B.C. to the 1st century A.D. Many photographs and profiles of sections permit ready identification, and a handy graphical chart of lamp types facilitates quick checking of the chronological range of each.","","Greek Lamps and Their Survivals","","Agora IV","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 4","","Publication","1958","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0034::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0034.jpg::104::150","","Howland, R.

Over 2,040 pieces of black-glaze pottery are catalogued and described, with many drawings and photographs.","","Black and Plain Pottery of the 6th, 5th and 4th Centuries B.C.","","Agora XII","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 12","","Publication","1970","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0042::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0042.jpg::200::263","","Sparkes, B. A." "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.","","Graffiti and Dipinti","","Agora XXI","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 21","","Publication","1976","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0051::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0051.jpg::296::400","","Lang, M." "This volume is the first of the Athenian Agora reports to deal specifically with figured wares; it is concerned with the black-figured pottery found in the excavations in the Athenian Agora between 1931 and 1967, most of it in dumped fill especially in wells and cisterns. These deposits have been published separately in previous reports; by presenting them as a body, the authors are able to show how it complements and supplements the existing chronological and stylistic framework of shapes and artists. All the important pieces are shown in photographs, as well as all complete vases and those with particular problems. Profile drawings and reconstructions of the composition are supplied in a few special cases. Summary descriptions of references and a site plan are given for the deposits, which are also identified in the concordance of catalogue and inventory numbers. There are indexes of potters, painters, groups, and classes; subjects; shape and ornament; collections and provenances; and a general index.","","Attic Black-Figured Pottery","","Agora XXIII","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 23","","Publication","1986","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0053::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0053.jpg::370::500","","Moore, M. B." "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.","","Ostraka","","Agora XXV","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 25","","Publication","1990","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0056::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0056.jpg::372::500","","Lang, L." "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.","","Attic Red-Figured and White-Ground Pottery","","Agora XXX","American School of Classical Studies at Athens","Agora:Publication:Agora 30","","Publication","1997","Agora","Agora:Image:2009.09.0060::/Agora/2009/2009.09/2009.09.0060.jpg::370::500","","Moore, M.
